Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to point out to you that my riding will now have a new name, one which will task your memory, but which better reflects the nature of the riding. That name is Beauport—Montmorency—Côte-de-Beaupré—île-d'Orléans.
I will explain the characteristics of this designation: Beauport refers to the city in the centre of the riding; Montmorency refers to the majestic Montmorency Falls, which I would remind you are higher than Niagara Falls; the name Beaupré refers to the magnificent landscapes along that part of the shores of the St Lawrence, and reminds us of the part it played in the first colonization by the French in America; finally, Île d'Orléans, immortalized by our famous poet Félix Leclerc, is where the highest concentration of 17th century houses and the best strawberries in America can be found.
From now on, whenever the name of my riding is heard in the House of Commons, I know that I shall be the envy of my distinguished colleagues.
I invite all members to come and see for themselves how true my claims for the riding are.
