Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to an extraordinary man who left us far too soon, Réal Gagné. Réal was a proud farmer all his life, a loving husband to his wife Thérèse, an attentive father of five daughters, Stéphanie, Marilyne, Joannie, Danielle and Mélanie, and a wise grandfather of nine grandchildren. He also leaves a void in the lives of his brothers and sisters, his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and his friends, who shared his zest for life and his passion for maple syrup farming. Without question, he was the heart and soul of his entire family. Réal served his community with sound advice, and he was also involved in marketing maple syrup at the provincial level. Personally, I have lost more than a good friend. He was my neighbour, and every year at harvest time, we would take the time to stop our tractors and share funny stories that only Réal had the gift to tell. His presence was always a source of great comfort. To my neighbour Réal, rest in peace.

Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to recognize the 150th anniversary of my hometown of Saint‑Narcisse‑de‑Beaurivage, which will take place in 2022. The people there are friendly, hardworking and always willing to lend others a helping hand. They are proud of their roots and plan to pay tribute to the legacy passed on by previous generations in their own way. There will be folk music, outdoor winter activities, a “blast from the past” weekend, a founders' day, the traditional parade and much more. These events will give people an opportunity to reconnect with family and friends and to try a craft beer bearing the picture of Saint‑Narcisse called 1872. As the member for Lévis—Lotbinière and a resident of Saint‑Narcisse‑de‑Beaurivage, I am pleased to invite you to take part in any or all of the activities being held as part of Saint‑Narcisse‑de‑Beaurivage's 150th anniversary celebrations.
