Mr. Speaker, after ten years of hard work and a lengthy fundraising campaign, a great dream has been realized today.
Today, a theatre for Ottawa's French speaking community is opening up on King Edward Avenue. The Nouvelle Scène will now house, under one roof, the Théâtre du Trillium, the Compagnie Vox Théâtre, the Théâtre de la Vieille 17, and the Théâtre de la Catapulte.
The Nouvelle Scène will also host francophone theatre companies from the region, Canada and French speaking countries throughout the world.
I wish the Nouvelle Scène every success and I urge my colleagues to pay it a visit and enjoy some great theatre. Break a leg, as they say.
