Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the men and women who are Canada's film industry.
Of those films and individuals who made it into the winner's circle at the 21st annual Genie Awards, I pay particular tribute to Martin Cummins, son of our parliamentary colleague, the member for Delta—South Richmond.
Martin won best supporting actor for his own role in the film Love Come Down , a love story about the acting debut of singer Deborah Cox.
Martin was also honoured when Helen Shaver won best supporting actress for the film he wrote and directed, We All Fall Down , which is about life on Vancouver's inner city streets.
As a former British Columbia fisherman, the member for Delta—South Richmond can be proud of his son Martin and his catch of the day at the Genie Awards.
