Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to acknowledge the opening of the 5th edition of the Montreal High Lights Festival.
Yesterday afternoon, Montrealers embarked upon the 11-day winter festival of Quebec's largest city with a flurry of free activities and top-quality performances.
This celebration of the winter season is much like Winterlude, which we celebrate every year in the national capital region.
Montreal High Lights is offering a variety of activities for the young and the not so young until the end of the month.
This year's program is made up of three festivals in one: wining and dining, performing arts, and the celebration of light.
I wish Montrealers a happy Montreal High Lights Festival.
