Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks the beginning of the Canadian men's university volleyball championship at the PEPS complex at Université Laval.
This event will be a wonderful opportunity for young athletes from across the county to compete with the best in their category.
The event will also be an excellent opportunity for the players of Laval University's volleyball team, the Rouge et Or, to measure up to eight of the best teams in the country, including the defending national champions and number one ranking team, the Manitoba Bisons.
Since I represent the greater Quebec City area, I would be remiss if I did not mention the exceptional performances of Laval's team, the Rouge et Or.
Three times national champions during the past decade, this team has maintained a perfect record during the regular season—12 wins and no losses.
The Rouge et Or also won the provincial championship, beating out the Montreal Carabins on February 25.
On behalf of all members of the House, I wish to extend best of luck to all teams participating in this championship and to say especially “Go, Rouge et Or, go”.
