Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the residents of my riding, I am very happy to congratulate the five winners of excellence awards.
They are: Geneviève Carrier, of the Collège de l'Outaouais; Vicki Da Silva-Casimiro, of Collège Saint-Joseph in Hull; Maïté Garcia Gonthier, of the MultiCollège de l'Ouest du Québec; Pamela R. Ledoux, of Heritage College; and Maude Schneider, of the Petit Séminaire de Québec.
The excellence awards recognize, support and encourage students who have set themselves apart by their academic results, leadership and community involvement.
The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation was created by the Liberal government by an act of parliament by which all Canadians invest and express their confidence in the future leaders of this country.
I congratulate to the winners from my riding and wish them much luck with their studies.
