Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I inform the House of the participation of Quebecers at Cannes international film festival.
First, the French-Quebec production La répétition is in official competition. Actress Pascale Bussières is extremely popular, and all of Quebec and Canada is proud of her. We already knew that Ms. Bussières was extraordinarily talented. It is an honour to have that talent recognized on the international cultural scene.
Then there is a Quebec production from Bernard Émond entitled La femme qui boit , featuring actors Elyse Guilbault and Luc Picard. This film is not in official competition, but it is a magnificent reflection of the excellent movies that are produced here in Canada.
Good luck to the film La répétition and to Pascale Bussières during this prestigious competition.
