Mr. Speaker, today I want to acknowledge the contribution of volunteers and community members who recently took part in the 8th benefit luncheon for the Edmundston Regional Hospital Foundation in my riding of Madawaska—Restigouche.
This year, the event raised $28,900, which will contribute to improving the quality of services provided at Edmunston's regional hospital.
There is no doubt that without the foundation, this health care institution could not buy the latest technology required to give our citizens the best of care.
I want to thank all the volunteers and donors who made this 8th fundraising breakfast for the Edmundston Regional Hospital Foundation such a success. Such events cannot take place without them.
Finally, I want to thank everyone from the Edmunston area who attended and showed their unconditional support for the work of the foundation.
