Mr. Speaker, I am proud to announce that Lachute artist Marie Lauzon has once again made her mark on the world stage.
Ms. Lauzon was awarded the bronze medal at the 50th international exhibit of the Cercle des artistes peintres et sculpteurs du Québec held last September at the Fontdouce abbey near Cognac, France.
Her abstract piece entitled Dévouement et détermination charmed the jury, which was made up of prominent figures from the French cultural community.
Four more of Ms. Lauzon's abstract pieces are currently on display at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
The people of Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation and I are proud of her. We are also proud of the positive attention she draws to our community. She is now part of my riding's ambassadors' circle.
