Mr. Speaker, on April 26, a young woman from my riding, Hélène Marchessault, of Saint-Guillaume, was awarded a bursary of $500 by the Quebec Department of Education in its “Chapeau les filles” competition.
The purpose of this program is to recognize the efforts of dynamic young women who dare to follow non-traditional career paths.
Hélène certainly qualifies as such, as she studied swine production and worked for one of Quebec's biggest swine producers, and is now returning to school to study animal husbandry, another non-traditional field.
Hats off to you, Hélène, from all the people of Drummond riding, myself included.
