Mr. Speaker, on November 26, I attended an appreciation night for the Edmundston fire department.
The Liberal Party of Canada and I recognize that firefighters and volunteer firefighters are very important to our communities. Thanks to their work, people can have the security and peace of mind that they would not have without the presence and dedication of firefighters.
That evening, several firefighters were recognized for their years of service with the Edmundston fire department: Marc Doiron, 20 years; Donald Lebel, 25 years; Mario Rossignol, 25 years; Réginal Pelletier, 25 years; and André Grandmaison, 25 years with the Municipality of Edmundston.
I would like to sincerely congratulate all of you for the work you have done for so many years. Your courage and determination are an inspiration to us all.
On behalf of all of the people of Madawaska—Restigouche, thank you for what you do for our community.
Once again, congratulations, and keep up the good work.
