Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the late Mrs. Simone Flahiff, a friend and constituent in Etobicoke—Lakeshore.
Simone was a challenging woman. She challenged all to be the best and applied the same standard to herself. Her crafts were legendary as was her cooking. She loved making floral arrangements for her church, Our Lady of Peace, where she was a founding member. The Catholic Women's League, the Liberal Party of Canada and the Liberal Women's Commission received the benefit of her abilities.
Simone will be greatly missed by her son Terry, family and friends. Simone watched the daily question period and I know she is watching us today.
Simone, my friend, thanks for your years of service to our communities. May you rest in peace.
