Mr. Speaker, let me tell you about Mylène Paquette, a young woman from Montreal who just finished rowing solo across the North Atlantic from west to east.
Ms. Paquette is a source of inspiration and a model of perseverance. She rowed her small craft over 5,000 km between Halifax and the shores of Brittany in the span of 130 days.
She tackled daily challenges and persevered. She never let natural or physical obstacles discourage her from achieving her dream.
Mylène Paquette is certainly a courageous woman who confronts danger and achieves her goals.
We would like to wish her a warm welcome back to terra firma with her loved ones. We hope she will impart the life lessons she learned on her journey.

On behalf of my colleagues, congratulations, Ms. Paquette.
