Mr. Speaker, the electoral campaign is in full swing. It is vigorous and exciting from one end of the country to the other.
This was one hundred years ago. Wilfrid Laurier was going back and forth from Victoriaville, on his way to becoming the first Quebecer to be elected Prime Minister of Canada.
In the region of Victoriaville-Arthabaska, one hundred years later, people are gathering to make a multi kilometre bicycle path, on the right of way of the railroad Wilfrid Laurier used to use. This project will be completed thanks to federal-provincial-municipal financial co-operation and regional fundraising activities.
Today, like yesterday, people look to their elected representatives at all political levels for co-operation.
