Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Montrealer Abla Farhoud was awarded the France-Quebec literary award.
I know I speak for all my colleagues when I offer my most sincere congratulations to this author, known primarily for her theatre work.
She has written a dozen plays, including Les filles du 5.10.15 created at the Festival de Limoges in the early 1990s before being put on in Paris and at the Théâtre international de langue française.
An initial selection for this award was made by a jury of authors, academics and literary critics from France and Quebec. Twenty-eight regional associations took part in the vote.
We congratulate Abla Farhoud and wish her all the best in the pursuit of her work.
