Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to say that the people of Beauce who are with me today in Ottawa join me in applauding the outstanding performance of an athlete from Beauceville.
Marie-Philip Poulin, who turns 18 next week, has just been named to Canada's national women's hockey team and will take part in the world championship in Finland next month.
I admire Marie-Philip's discipline and determination. She already has an enviable string of achievements to her credit.
Good luck, Marie-Philip, and congratulations. All of Beauce is with her.
