Mr. Speaker, this is my first intervention in this democratic chamber. It is a real privilege for me to represent the people of my riding. To my constituents, volunteers and family members, thank you so much.
I would also like to take a moment to wish all my colleagues the very best for the holiday season, a very merry Christmas, and a happy new year.
Rivière-des-Mille-Îles is fortunate to be home to a number of innovative businesses, particularly in the transportation sector. I will soon have an opportunity to visit Nova Bus, a company based in Saint-Eustache that has been working in the public transit sector since 1993.
For several years now, the company has been a leader in bringing electric vehicles to public transit. For instance, they have a hybrid bus that runs on electricity.
I would like to commend Nova Bus for its contribution to our community and for its commitment to reducing our environmental footprint.
