Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Michel Bolduc in the House today because he has been an important pillar of Mont‑Laurier's social fabric for over 30 years. As a social worker with certification in the areas of mental health and addictions, Michel Bolduc has been an authority on homelessness in Quebec.
I had the privilege of working with him for many years, and I have seen how he never gives up. When he meets someone who is experiencing homelessness, he does not look on them with contempt and pass them by. He treats them with kindness and compassion. For 30 years, Maison Lyse-Beauchamp has been helping with six buildings, 38,000 meals served, 16,000 overnight stays and no fewer than 66 employees.
Congratulations to Michel for everything he has done for these people.
