Mr. Speaker, in 1934, thanks to the combined efforts of its founders and many donors from the community, the Jewish General Hospital was established for the benefit of all people of Montreal.
Today, the Jewish General Hospital distinguishes itself by offering the very highest level of treatment and care to patients from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, and is considered one of Canada's best acute care hospitals.
On June 18, 2009, I will have the honour of attending the gala commemorating the hospital's 75th anniversary. I would like to wish a happy anniversary to the hospital, its staff and its volunteers.
