Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada has a presence in Laval. These days, two important events testify to this.
First, our government is contributing financially to the volleyball trials for the Paralympic games in Sydney, Australia, in the year 2000. These trials will be held in Montmorency cégep in Laval between June 16 and 18. Eight international teams are participating, and the finalists will represent their country in Sydney next year.
In addition, I would draw your attention to next Monday's inauguration of a pilot project funded by $527,000 from the health care services adjustment fund, with the aim of assessing the implementation of integrated geriatric, respiratory and oncology services at the Laval Centre hospitalier ambulatoire.
Laval thanks the federal government.
