Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the chamber of commerce serving the asbestos region on giving its Personality of the Year award to Donat Grenier, a generous businessperson who is involved in many social and humanitarian causes.
The tribute that he will receive on Saturday at Thetford's Aramis club is well deserved, and I want to congratulate Mr. Grenier, whom everyone affectionately calls Donat.
The numerous organizations with which Mr. Grenier has been associated include Étang Madore, which allows disabled people to enjoy fishing, and the Aube de la paix detoxication centre. Mr. Grenier also played an active role in numerous community projects, including the restoration of the organ in the Disraeli church.
On behalf of all the residents of the asbestos region, I congratulate and thank Donat Grenier for being a pillar of our region's community association.
Bravo Donat and keep up the good work.
