Mr. Speaker, I wonder if members of the House know what Michelle Wright, Murray McLauchlan, Ian Thomas, La Bottine Souriante, Michel Rivard, Nanette Workman, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church have in common.
What they have in common is that on April 1 they are coming to Ottawa to do an amazing concert for Elizabeth Grandbois. “Elizabeth's Concert of Hope” is part of an effort to raise money for ALS.
I invite all members of the House and everyone watching to come to the NAC, give their support to ALS, and recognize an amazing Canadian. Since 1997, after being diagnosed with ALS, Elizabeth has gone the distance and raised over $1 million for research into ALS and support for people who are suffering from ALS.
In Ottawa the concert is in honour of Tim Noel, the former deputy governor of the Bank of Canada. I encourage everyone to please come out on April 1.
