Mr. Speaker, by welcoming Jackie Robinson to the Montreal Royals in 1946, Quebec opened the way for Black athletes to play in North American professional sports leagues. This Black History Month, let us acknowledge that we have come a long way since then, so much so that a young man from Saint‑Bruno‑de‑Montarville, Andreï Délinois, is now setting his sights on the National Football League. This 19-year-old athlete, who was born in Chicoutimi to a Quebecois mother and a Haitian father, signed a contract with the Buccaneers on February 1 through the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA. At six foot one and 210 pounds, he patiently rose through the ranks all the way to East Tennessee State University. He got his start at age five playing with the Barons of Saint‑Bruno‑de‑Montarville, and then joined the Dynamiques at Collège Charles‑Lemoyne, followed by the Blue Tornado at Tennessee's McCallie High School, which took home the state championship in 2021. Talented, versatile and determined, Andreï is an inspiring young man both on and off the field, including at school. We hope he finds the success he seeks to achieve his dreams and continue to make us proud.
