Mr. Speaker, as one of the many activities marking International Women's Day, the Milles-Îles chapter of the Réseau des femmes d'affaires du Québec yesterday revealed the winners in three categories: business women, women who care, and the younger generation.
In the women who care category, which honours a woman from the Lower Laurentian region who has shown outstanding community and social involvement over the years, the prize was given to my hon. colleague for Terrebonne—Blainville, the Bloc Québécois critic on international cooperation.
The hon. member for Terrebonne—Blainville is not only a woman who cares, she is also a woman of passion and action, with an indomitable will to serve her community and a commitment to build the Quebec nation.
All my colleagues, her staff members, and everyone in the Bloc Québécois applaud her determination, know-how and dedication, so eloquently recognized.
We also want to congratulate Josée Aubin and Carole Nantel, the other finalists in the same category. Bravo to all.
