Mr. Speaker, last Monday, the people of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville celebrated the construction of the new Maison des Jeunes.
The centre provides an appropriate space downtown where young people can make decisions and assume their responsibilities by actively contributing to the selection and organization of the activities that interest them.
I would like to thank the mayor of Saint-Bruno, Claude Benjamin, and the municipal counsellors for having so wisely invested their time, energy and resources. Thank you also to their predecessors, Jean Gérin, Pierre Filion and Denis Duval, who believed in and promoted this project.
I must also commend the director, Maxime Noël, and his team of volunteers for their dedication to the youth of Saint-Bruno, and particularly the president, Yves Girard.
This is an excellent starting point for these young people, and the opening of the Maison des Jeunes building, which we celebrated last Monday, also represents a wonderful new beginning for the youth of Saint-Bruno.
