Mr. Speaker, today I want to sing the praises of a remarkable woman, Huguette Plouffe.
Huguette has poured her heart and soul into defending the rights of seniors in the riding of Repentigny for the past 15 years. As president of the L'Assomption chapter of the Association québécoise de défense des droits des personnes retraitées et préretraitées, or AQDR, since 2016, Huguette has fought tirelessly against senior abuse and worked to improve seniors' quality of life and social inclusion.
Her dedication has won her many accolades. In 2019, Huguette was named mediation ambassador, and in 2021, she received the Michel-Haguette award. This year, she earned a triple win, receiving the Prix Hommage Aînés for the Lanaudière region and a medal from the National Assembly of Quebec, followed by her induction as a knight of the Ordre de Repentigny.
Today, my turn has come to celebrate her achievements in the House. Ms. Plouffe is an inspiration to us all and a true force of nature. I thank her for her drive, her generosity, and her unwavering commitment to strengthening the social fabric of our community.
