(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to make a brief statement to the motion. I have known Mr. Bourque for quite some time. He is a very nice person, and he has worked very hard for the people. Since I became a Member of the Legislative Assembly about 17 years ago, I have seen him numerous times working very hard for the people. He treated everybody equally. He has helped me out many times in my work at the Assembly and outside the Assembly. Even though he travels to numerous places, he has never looked tired. He always attended the meetings that he was supposed to attend. I would like to support the motion. I know he has been working very hard for the government for quite some time. I would like to briefly express my appreciation for Mr. Bourque. Thank you.
