Mr. Speaker, I am extremely proud to represent the people of Louis-Saint-Laurent here in the House of Commons. I would like to draw the attention of the House to two of those people who distinguished themselves recently.
On November 25, I presented the Sacrifice Medal to Patrice Cardin. Mr. Cardin served in the Canadian Armed Forces with honour and dignity for many years. He also volunteers with the cadet movement and is involved in causes that support CF members with post-traumatic stress disorder.
A week ago, Jean-Philippe Payer, a teacher at École l'Odyssée de Val-Bélair, received the prestigious Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching. Mr. Payer uses new technologies to capture the attention of his students. He set up a travelling exhibit project with the support of the Huron-Wendat Nation. The award was presented at Rideau Hall by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette.
The people of Louis-Saint-Laurent give me a lot to be proud of.
