Mr. Speaker, Lakay Nou means our house or our home in Creole. It is also the name of a television series with a mostly African-Canadian cast. This is the first time a series about the Haitian community has been broadcast by Radio-Canada. I am proud to welcome the stars of Lakay Nou to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. They are Frédéric Pierre, Catherine Souffront, Fayolle Jean and Mireille Métellus, along with co-author Angelo Cadet. I cannot say enough about the impact of this series, because the television representation of ethnocultural groups is a reflection of our diversity. I commend Radio-Canada’s executives on this gesture. I congratulate everyone who helped produce Lakay Nou and wish them every success with their future shows.
