Mr. Speaker, on October 24, the band Lendemain de Veille won “group of the year” at the Gala Country, which celebrates French-language country music.
This is a big deal. These musicians are as talented as they are high-spirited, and that is saying a lot. Lendemain de Veille won this honour for the third year in a row, but their fans will not be surprised to hear that they have won again. Anyone who has seen them perform live knows that their talent is unforgettable. With a mix of original songs and covers of the best classics in the Quebec canon, no one ever wants their show to end. I remember their very first appearance at the legendary Fête nationale party in Saint‑Étienne‑de‑Beauharnois. The band members were so young and already so passionate.
They have not stopped ever since. Life has not slowed them down or tamed their spirit, and thank goodness for that. I thank Lendemain de Veille for spreading joy throughout Quebec. I am so proud to say that these boys are from my neck of the woods.
