Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to Amélie Duceppe. That last name may ring a bell for some of my colleagues. They probably know about the Duceppe theatre company, which she heads, and its long tradition of excellence in Quebec theatre.
The newspaper Les Affaires has honoured Amélie Duceppe as president and CEO of the year for 2024 in the social economy category. After her aunt Louise passed the torch to her in 2018, Amélie Duceppe has transformed the theatre's administration into a collaborative, agile and creative team effort. Under her guidance, together with artistic co-directors David Laurin and Jean-Simon Traversy, the doors of the Duceppe theatre are opening to a growing number of new audience members discovering, or rediscovering, homegrown theatre.
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I congratulate Amélie Duceppe, and I thank her for perpetuating a name of seminal importance to Quebec culture.
