Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the strength, talent and perseverance of Rimouski-born weightlifting champion Maude Charron. Maude won an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo in 2021 and was named international athlete of the year at the Sports Québec gala held in June. A few weeks ago, she added to her impressive record when she dominated the 64-kilogram weight class at the Commonwealth Games. Not only did she win gold, but she also set not one, not two, but three records at the games. Beyond being a medallist and record holder, Maude is also a fantastic ambassador. She is inspiring a whole new generation to take up a sport and, above all, to believe they can make their dreams come true while training in their home region. Her exceptional performance and authentic personality have made Maude the pride of not just the Lower St. Lawrence, but the entire nation as well. I encourage her to continue sharing her inspiring passion.
