Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 3 wordsit is official: ProcedureClaims · 129 wordsQuebec has its own Leonardo da Vinci. I am talking about Jérôme Dupras, a researcher, professor, musician, and now, Quebec’s chief scientist.¹ That is right, the bass player for the Cowboys Fringants, who is also an economic and ecological specialist and professor at the Université du Québec en Outaouais, was appointed chief scientist of Quebec.² This great man, whose heart is in L’Assomption, will advise the government on scientific matters, lead the Fonds de recherche du Québec and promote science, particularly among young people.³ It is not just the Cowboys’ music being showcased on the world stage. Jérôme Dupras’s expertise has earned him two major and prestigious research chairs, including one with UNESCO.⁴ This renowned scientist and influential artist is also a remarkable environmental entrepreneur and an exceptional communicator. Thanks · 26 wordsOn behalf of the Bloc Québécois, and from one environmental activist to another, I wish my friend every success. May Quebec benefit from his sound advice.Thanks
