Mr. Speaker, I want to acknowledge the accomplishments of Antony Auclair, an athlete from Beauce who recently won the Super Bowl. He is the pride of our young Canadians and Beauce residents. It all starts with a dream, and then it takes effort.
Speaking of effort, Beauce has been doing Canada proud in the world of sports for some time now. Besides Antony, I want to acknowledge the efforts of Marie-Philip Poulin, from Beauceville, who was named the best female hockey player in the world; Eliot Grondin, an Olympic snowboard cross-athlete from Sainte-Marie who recently won two World Cup medals; Raphaël Lessard from Saint-Joseph, a talented driver competing in the NASCAR truck series in the United States, whose season just started; and Thomas Chabot, a young NHL hockey player from Sainte-Marie who plays for the Ottawa Senators.
We have many more young athletes making the people of Beauce and all Canadians very proud. They are working hard to achieve their dreams.
Sports is in Beauce's DNA, and so is pride.
I congratulate all the Beauce athletes of today and tomorrow.
