He was tireless. He started from nothing three or four years ago. He has succeeded in rallying all the major players in Quebec and in Canada to unanimously call on the government to do something about the shipyard problem.</p>\n<p>He formed parallel committees, here in the House. He visited every shipyard. He met with all the stakeholders, both unions and employers. In my 16 years as a member of the House of Commons, I have never seen anything to equal what the member for L\u00e9vis-et-Chutes-de-la-Chaudi\u00e8re has accomplished.</p>",
