Mr. Speaker, today I would like to acknowledge the remarkable community involvement of a constituent in my riding, Mr. Rémon Lecavalier.
Mr. Lecavalier has been working in the scouting movement for many years. His energy and his determination to transmit time-honoured values to the youth of Beauharnois—Salaberry are precious assets.
On March 21, 2003, the Lieutenant Governor of Canada presented him with the gold medal of merit of the Quebec scouting federation in recognition of his exceptional commitment to the scouting movement.
On behalf of all the young scouts in the Beauharnois—Salaberry area, I thank Mr. Lecavalier and congratulate him on this well deserved honour.
