Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in order to pay tribute to a true Quebec institution, as Magnus Poirier celebrates its 90th year in operation.
On March 15, 1923, Magnus Poirier was founded, and it has grown exponentially over the years to become one of the finest establishments of its kind, by bringing comfort to thousands of Quebeckers in their darkest hour through their commitment to serving their clients with warmth, support and respect.
Under the guidance of the Poirier family, Magnus Poirier is constantly seeking to better serve its community as a truly modern company, all while maintaining the traditional values that have made it a model company and a leader in the community through its countless charitable initiatives.
I would like to congratulate the chairman of the board, Claude Poirier, president and CEO Jacques Poirier and executive vice-president Marc Poirier for carrying on the Poirier family legacy with such class and excellence, while preparing the next generation to successfully assume the tremendous responsibility that comes with bearing the name “Poirier”.
