Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today to salute Julie Payette, our Canadian member of the Discovery mission.
Julie Payette is an astronaut, engineer, pilot and musician who speaks six languages. Her life of tremendous achievement is testimony to the unlimited possibilities for excellence that can be found in all of us.
We can only hope that her life becomes a model for all young people who aspire to greatness in science and engineering.
Julie's eyes may be on the sky, but we all know that her heart is right here in Canada. On behalf of the Reform caucus, I am pleased that Julie has returned to earth safe and sound after an excellent mission.
