Mr. Speaker, this year we are celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Person's Case. On Thursday, the following six exceptional Canadians will receive a Governor General's Award:
Jeanette Corbiere Lavell for advancing the cause of aboriginal women;
Daphne E. Dumont, for her work on women's rights in the legal system.
Bev LeFrancois, for her work in the area of violence against women here and abroad.
Karen Messing, for her work on women's autonomization in the workplace.
Mary Scott, for women's information sharing and network building; and Youth Award recipient Pauline Fogarty, for being a leader to many young Canadians.
We salute these exceptional women who are an inspiration to all Canadians. We are proud of these women.
