Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of a great citizen of Drummond to the cause of women.
Since 1986, Dominique Chevalier has been running Partance, an agency serving women in the regional municipality of Drummond who are seeking employment.
In addition to her involvement in women's groups, she participates in the Conférence régionale des élus de la région 17, the Conseil régional des partenaires du marché du travail, and the Corporation de développement communautaire in Drummond, and she chairs the board of the Femmes et production industrielle regions 4 and 17.
In its recent women of merit competition, the YMCA gave her an award for her social commitment. At the Réseau industriel Drummond awards gala, she won the 2005 award for best business coach.
On behalf of the people of Drummond and my colleagues, I congratulate Dominique Chevalier, a woman of distinction.
