Mr. Speaker, when the 2004-05 millennium scholarships were awarded, we were in the midst of the election campaign, but I would like to take the opportunity today to congratulate three young scholarship recipients from my riding.
These three young women are Isabelle Arseneau-Bruneau, of the Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau, Cynthia Landriault-Dubois, of the Cité étudiante de la Haute-Gatineau and Véronique Thivierge, of the Collège Saint-Alexandre. Their awards were in recognition of their community involvement, demonstrated leadership abilities, innovativethinking and academic achievement.
The millennium scholarships, begun as an initiative of the Government of Canada, represent a major investment in our students' future and are an excellent means of promoting academic excellence. Congratulations again to these three young women. Canada has many precious resources and shining examples among its young people and you three are among them.
