Mr. Speaker, at age 72, Herman Perry of St. John's knows better than most that age is just a number, but here are some numbers that really do matter: a 2,500-kilometre paddle, over 50 days, spanning from La Loche, Saskatchewan to Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories. That is exactly what Mr. Perry wanted to undertake on a journey to retrace historic trade routes. A passionate outdoor enthusiast, his love of paddling took him across Labrador, the Quebec wilderness, Indonesia and the Churchill River. With the support of his wife, Sheila, and his kids and grandkids, he said he had another 10 years of paddling in him. I look forward to hearing about this remarkable journey and I applaud Herman's courageous spirit and love of adventure.
