Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, December 5, my beautiful riding of Verdun—Saint-Henri was honoured with a visit by Governor General Roméo Leblanc and his wife.
I had the pleasure of spending a magical day with 200 children from my riding, a day which featured balloons, candies, an excellent lunch, a troupe of magicians, and Santa.
On behalf of the 200 Verdun children who will have life-long memories of this excellent initiative of bringing the party to their community, I wish to thank the Governor General and his wife.
I hope very much that this custom will continue for many years to come.
My thanks to the organizers, the group Toujours Ensemble, and all the volunteers.
