As I sit in this prestigious chair, I would like to acknowledge my constituents in my riding of <a data-HoCid=\"170256\" href=\"/politicians/louis-plamondon/\" title=\"Louis Plamondon\">Bas-Richelieu\u2014Nicolet\u2014B\u00e9cancour</a>, who placed their trust in me for the ninth time this past election. I had always been able to ride the wave, but this time the wave was coming right at me. I found it different, but tiring. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2430720\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would also like to acknowledge my companion Manon, who has always supported me, my children, Catherine and Lucie, as well as my grandchildren. I also thank my election committee, which was a huge help in this election. Let us begin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2430721\" data-originallang=\"en\">The list of members who have withdrawn or who are ineligible as candidates has been placed on each member's desk and is available at the table.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2430722\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> The list of those members who are eligible as candidates has also been placed on each member's desk and is available at the table. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2430723\" data-originallang=\"en\">Before we begin, I want to invite any member whose name is on the list of candidates but who does not want to stand for election to rise and inform the Chair accordingly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2430724\" data-originallang=\"en\">The hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"170093\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Papineau</a>.</p>",

Vous comprendrez que j'avais l'habitude d'avoir la vague dans le dos. Cette fois-ci, je l'avais dans le visage. J'ai trouv\u00e9 la formule diff\u00e9rente, mais un peu plus fatigante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2430720\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Permettez-moi \u00e9galement de saluer ma compagne Manon, qui m'a toujours soutenu, ainsi que mes enfants Catherine et Lucie, et mes petits-enfants \u00e9galement.
