Mr. Speaker, I rise today to read a letter of congratulations to Annie Perreault.
“Dear Annie:
“I was so proud to see you climb up to the highest step on the podium on February 19. I avidly followed the Olympic Games. Not only was our country represented by its best athletes, but the riding of Compton—Stanstead had its own special representative: Annie Perreault.
“I congratulate you on the medals you so deservedly won. You are finally reaping the reward of years of efforts. Your talent and your willpower are a source of inspiration to all those who aspire to the Olympic Games.
“I thank you, Annie, for so ably representing our country. I hope in the weeks and months to come you may enjoy all the opportunities your exploits bring you.
“You, Annie, are one great Canadian”.
