Mr. Speaker, Quebec has been occupied with municipal elections over the past several weeks. Yesterday, voters made a choice. That choice means that many people have offered to give their time to serving the public.
I congratulate all the candidates for having the courage and generosity to embark on this adventure. Many were not elected, but they won something nonetheless: They won the gratitude of our constituents. An important task lies ahead for the successful candidates.
I want to thank the elected municipal officials of Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis for the remarkable work they have accomplished over the last term. To those whose time in office is drawing to a close, I sincerely thank them for their deep commitment to the community. Their sense of duty has helped to enhance the vitality and prosperity of our municipalities.
I congratulate the newly elected officials and wish them all the best. I want them to know that they can count on my help and that I am always available to work with them in serving the people of Bellechase—Les Etchemins—Lévis. I wish them a very successful term.
