Mr. Speaker, today I pay homage to four selfless servants. They are city councillors Michel Bellemare, Rainer Bloess, Rob Jellett and Bob Monette.
Deep down, they are all Liberals, yet they carry out their duties impartially.
Four years ago questions were raised about my ability to work with Liberal city councillors.
The fact that the transition went smoothly thanks to the impartial altruism of all elected members is proof that I can.
Together, we have worked on many important projects as part of Canada's economic action plan. Their support of these projects has made our community stronger.
Yet when one of them seeks the Liberal nomination for a federal election, the partisan assembly chooses a die-hard partisan instead.
So today, I pay tribute not only to my four selfless city councillors but also to their electors who have the good sense to recognize this superior quality.
