Mr. Speaker, let me talk about Compton--Stanstead, the jewel of Quebec's eastern townships.
Do members know that Compton--Stanstead is the home of some great Canadians? Why one of Canada's greatest prime ministers, the Right Hon. Louis St. Laurent, called it home. In fact our current Prime Minister is our neighbour.
Folksinger David Francy, who just won another Juno Award, writes his award winning music from the inspiration drawn from its beauty and cultural harmony.
A little-known fact is that Bishops College School is home to Canada's oldest cadet corps. This year it will be celebrating 125 years.
Did I mention it is also the home of the Hon. Jean Charest, the Premier of Quebec; the Hon. Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, the Deputy Premier; and the Hon. Pierre Reid, Quebec's Minister of Education?
Even Hollywood is getting in on the act. Veteran Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland has a home there.
On top of all that, Compton--Stanstead is surrounded by some of the finest members in the House, such as the member for Shefford, the member for Frontenac—Mégantic and the member for Brome—Missisquoi.
Mr. Speaker, even you have sampled this wonderful corner of Quebec, Compton—Stanstead.
