Mr. Speaker, next weekend, the annual Mérite des gens d'ici gala will be held in my riding. It is held to honour the accomplishments of various individuals in the community. I would like to pay tribute to them.
Generosity, commitment and devotion are the words that spring to mind when we think of those exceptional people who realize the hopes of our community.
They all contribute to improving the well-being of the community and provide us with the finest examples of achievement.
My thanks to the Mérite des gens d'ici committee for making known and more importantly recognizing the worth of the people in the community.
