Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the constituents of the riding of Hull—Aylmer for electing me. I wish to reiterate to them my commitment to represent them to the best of my ability and to continue to actively protect their best interests.
I intend to pay more particular attention to certain issues. One such issue is that of employment, in order to ensure that 25% of the federal jobs in the national capital region are in the Outaouais, and another is the public servants disclosure protection act.
Access to better social programs for our seniors and the establishment of social policies for the young and the poor are priority issues to which I will pay particular attention.
I will also strive to ensure that the McConnell-Laramée highway is completed and promote the building of a bridge between Aylmer and Kanata.
It is a privilege and an honour to represent the constituents of Hull--Aylmer, and I thank them for their confidence.
