Mr. Speaker, this year we are celebrating Terrebonne's 350th anniversary. The Corporation des fêtes du 350e anniversaire de la Ville de Terrebonne was tasked with organizing the festivities. The corporation organized nine Signatures events with a turnout of nearly 100,000 people, and it supported 20 or so community projects. In addition, the city also stepped up its event planning. I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the people who worked tirelessly for our city over the past few months and who are now here in Ottawa. I am talking about the mayor of Terrebonne, Mathieu Traversy. I want to give special thanks to Céline Durand, the director general of the Corporation des fêtes du 350e anniversaire de la Ville de Terrebonne. I also want to acknowledge the presence and impressive work of Mr. Mayer, Mr. Dufresne and Mr. Lévesque. Thanks to them, their teams, the hundreds of volunteers and everyone who participated, we were able to celebrate the great pride we have for our city. Let me say 350 thank-yous to the organizers. We are looking forward to the 400th anniversary of Terrebonne, and for the last time in the House of Commons, I wish Terrebonne a happy 350th anniversary.
