Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to pay tribute to John Connor, a constituent in my riding of Simcoe North, for his work as a volunteer with the Canadian Executive Services Organization. CESO is a non-profit, volunteer based organization which brings Canadian expertise to businesses, communities and organizations in Canada and abroad.
As a volunteer with CESO international services, Mr. Connor provided business advice to a Russian company involved in the manufacture of electric switches for auto plants. He also assisted the company in developing a business plan encompassing marketing and professional development.
On behalf of all Canadians, I wish to congratulate Mr. Connor for his commitment to share his time and expertise with emerging economies like Russia.
