Mr. Speaker, allow me to congratulate the new leader of the Liberal Party in New Brunswick, chosen at a leadership convention on the weekend.
Camille Thériault set himself the goal of defending Canada's unity as a francophone in a minority community.
Mr. Theriault has been involved in the constitutional debate and has demonstrated that he is firmly committed to helping to build a strong and united Canada while still promoting the interests of his province.
Mr. Thériault is an old stock Acadian. Born in Baie-Sainte-Anne, he is totally bilingual and has a degree in social sciences, with specialization in political science.
I congratulate Mr. Theriault and I wish him the best of luck as the new premier of New Brunswick.
