Mr. Speaker, today I want to roll out the red carpet for Rémi Brousseau and highlight the remarkable work he has done at the Théâtre Denise‑Pelletier. Rémi was the managing director of this key cultural venue in Hochelaga. As he said himself, he would have liked to be an artist. Rémi's greatest work ran for 28 years. This man worked his cultural magic from the wings, remaining faithful to the theatre's objective of introducing teenagers to the sixth art, with the majority of performances aimed at school-age audiences. He oversaw the renovation of the theatre in 2008, preserving a historic building and an architectural gem in Montreal. I invite everyone to experience it. The province awarded him the medal of the National Assembly of Quebec, a well-deserved honour. I thank Rémi for the work he has done for youth and culture. I wish him well in his retirement, knowing that he will be very busy, and I wish the new managing director, Stéphanie Laurin, much success.
