(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise today, Madam Speaker, recognizing the first meeting in this House in the year 1994. At our last session in 1993, I wanted to express my apologies for not being able to visit my constituency. I would also like to thank them for their patience. During the last sitting of the session I received a lot of help and support from those constituencies, and with the new year coming upon us, I wanted to acknowledge their support and remind them that I am still representing them in this House and I will do my best. I extend my apologies for not being able to visit their communities. I have intentions to visit them more frequently this year, Madam Speaker. I just wanted to express my apologies to my constituents. For this reason, I rise in the House today. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
