Mr. Speaker, we had some good news yesterday. No, I am not really talking about the budget. I am talking about the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York.
Let us return closer to home, to my riding of Rosemont—La Petite‑Patrie, where we also have some good news. During Black History Month, Ninette Piou, director of the Centre N A Rive, was recognized for her involvement and dedication. For over 40 years, Ms. Piou has been working at the centre, which is a place of learning, integration and recreation. We need only think of all the workshops offered to immigrant women, the organization of the Haitian book festival in Montreal or the creation of the Institut créole et du patrimoine culturel haïtien. As a passionate advocate for social justice and communal peace and harmony, Ms. Piou is a true pillar of La Petite‑Patrie.
I want to congratulate Ninette and thank her for working tirelessly to build a better world where everyone can live in dignity.
