Mr. Speaker, on September 18, Michel Doucet, Dean of the Université de Moncton Law School, was on the merit list on the occasion of the national symposium on official languages.
Mr. Doucet has made a huge contribution to the advancement of language rights of the Acadian and francophone communities. He has always encouraged the promotion and development of the socio-legal aspects of official languages. As well, his ideas culminated in the creation of the Association des juristes d'expression française du Nouveau-Brunswick.
Mr. Doucet is an ardent supporter of the advancement of linguistic rights of Acadian and francophone communities.
I would like to congratulate him on being conferred an award of distinction, an honour he truly deserves.
My sincere congratulations to Mr. Doucet for this well-deserved honour.
