Madam Speaker, let me first take a moment to congratulate the new member for Lasalle—Émard—Verdun, Louis-Philippe Sauvé. I suppose I can use his name since he has not yet been sworn in. I congratulate him warmly. He is a very good friend of mine. There is absolutely no doubt that the people of Lasalle—Émard—Verdun now have an excellent representative, and that Louis-Philippe will be an asset in ensuring that our own country, Quebec, finally comes to be. Now to my question for my colleague. I was listening to the Liberal members earlier. They were speaking against the official opposition and talking about dental insurance in a debate about GC Strategies, and that made me think of the City of Montreal. At the time, the city had a mayor who was never around. He was never in the places and rooms where things were happening. I think about that and I wonder: When it comes to responsibility, what are all these shenanigans telling us?

Madam Speaker, last weekend, nearly 200 people gathered for a fundraiser for the golf club that is now called the Club de golf de Saint‑Pamphile Matériaux Blanchet. This is a first here in Canada: Four elected officials from various levels of government, namely, the mayor of Saint‑Pamphile, Mario Leblanc, the reeve of the L'Islet RCM and mayor of Saint‑Jean‑Port‑Joli, Normand Caron, the MNA for the riding of Côte‑du‑Sud, Mathieu Rivest, and I served as honorary co-chairs for this campaign, which raised nearly $400,000 thanks to the generosity of south shore residents and businesses. This fundraising campaign would not have been possible were it not for the commitment of club volunteers, led by club president Marie‑Claude Lord and her team. This club also serves as a snowmobile rest stop and a community centre for Saint‑Pamphile and its surrounding communities. Their pride was palpable, and this was an important day for the community, for good reason. When we all work toward the same goal, we can accomplish great things. I wish the Saint‑Pamphile Matériaux Blanchet golf club continued success.
