Mr. Speaker, it is a great honour for me to have sat for 16 years as an MP at both the provincial and federal levels—and as the only member of Haitian origin, I might add. However, the time has come for me to take my leave. I thank the Prime Minister for this opportunity to serve Canadians. I thank all members and staff of the House of Commons for their friendship. I thank the Quebec CPA Order for the Emeritus Certified Accountant award and the title of Fellow. I thank UQAM for the special tribute award for teaching. I am grateful for the Governor of Canada Medal regarding my work at the Canada Revenue Agency. I thank the Hon. Jean Charest for his sincere friendship. I thank all the residents of Viau and Bourassa, my brothers and sisters, my supporters and my employees. From the bottom of my heart, I thank my wife, our children, their spouses and our grandchildren. Manman, Papa, mèsi anpil pou toute sacrifice nou fè pou mwen. It was with a lot of emotion that I informed the Prime Minister that I would not be seeking re-election. AvèwMapMaché.
