Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to announce in this House today, the recent appointment of Corinne Sorin as chief editor of the Métro .
She has extensive journalism experience and is a strong-willed woman of letters who will certainly meet this new challenge brilliantly and bring a particular flare to the paper, especially since she is the only woman on the board of directors.
I would also like to congratulate Sébastien St-Hilaire who was promoted to director of sales and marketing. His reputation for being a clever strategist in market development will undoubtedly bring him much success.
Founded in 2001, the Métro brought together a most dynamic group of people, making it the third largest French-speaking daily paper in Montreal. This free tabloid, which is distributed in all the metro stations, provides quality information that is diversified and accessible to everyone.
On behalf of the Bloc Quebecois, I applaud this leader of the free press in Quebec and offer my sincerest congratulations to Ms. Sorin and Mr. St-Hilaire.
