Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to Françoise Hogue Plante, a woman who has had a profound impact on life in Louiseville. She was elected as a municipal councillor and served with exemplary consistency and generosity from 2009 to 2025, more than 16 years. Known for her close ties with citizens and her willingness to listen, she championed several key issues with conviction, including the l'Éveil skate park, the return of the Orléans Express bus service and the merger of municipal housing offices.
A true pillar of community life, Ms. Hogue Plante was also involved in numerous organizations, such as the Association des personnes handicapées du comté de Maskinongé, the Maison du commis voyageur and the Festival de la galette de sarrasin de Louiseville. Her career reflects a deep love for the people of Louiseville and they will long remember the lasting mark she made on their community.
I would like to thank Françoise Hogue Plante for everything.
