Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House of Commons of Canada that, at a ceremony held in New York in November, the International Federation of Accountants honoured Sheila Fraser, FCPA, as the 2024 recipient of its Global Leadership Award.
Originally from Quebec, Ms. Fraser was Canada's first auditor general, a position she held from 2001 to 2011. She has received multiple honours, including the CA Émérite award and the designation “fellow” from both the Ordre des comptables agréés du Québec and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, in addition to several honorary degrees. Ms. Fraser has been a tireless advocate for transparency and good governance in the private and public sectors. Her career has been a shining example of integrity and accountability.
Congratulations to Sheila Fraser, a fellow CPA.
