Mr. Speaker, all municipalities in Quebec have just completed their municipal elections, and although the results are not yet official, I would like to warmly congratulate the new mayor of Montreal, Soraya Martinez Ferrada, the newly elected borough mayors Nancy Blanchet, Véronique Fournier and Céline‑Audrey Beauregard, as well as all the newly elected officials in LaSalle, Verdun and Sud‑Ouest.
I am excited to work with everyone for LaSalle—Émard—Verdun's benefit.
I also want to thank all the candidates who ran.
Our democracy is based on the diversity of choices and ideas that guide our various levels of government. Our constituents are lucky to be able to count on such dedicated and courageous people to represent them.
Finally, I thank all the voters who participated. Our democracy triumphs when we all engage. Know that I am looking forward to working with our newly elected municipal representative.
