Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements of a young athlete from my riding.
Valérie Grenier, who hails from Saint‑Isidore, is a member of the Olympic alpine ski team. The people of Glengarry—Prescott—Russell are proud to stand behind her.
Valérie Grenier is an inspiration to all Canadians. During these unpredictable and unprecedented times, she has shown courage and resilience. Her journey will inspire a new generation of athletes in our region.
We are proud to see her at the Olympic Games and we will continue to cheer her on. She has dedicated herself to her sport for a long time now, and her hard work certainly points to her success.
I encourage all athletes proudly representing the maple leaf to savour every second of this unique experience. Canada is so proud of them.
Congratulations, Valérie Grenier.
