“I want people to support local shops and restaurants in my riding this summer.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, summer has arrived in Outremont, Mile End and the Plateau. I would like to say thanks to all our shopkeepers, restaurant owners, cafés and everyone who brings our shopping areas to life. Bernard Avenue is once again a pedestrian zone this year. Children are playing in the street, parents are enjoying the patios and everyone gets ice cream. Last week, I took part in a Mile End celebration, alongside thousands of people, thanks to the incredible work of the Laurier West BIA, the Mile End Business Association and, of course, Gabriel Dallaire and his entire team. This year, I was able to count on the invaluable help of my daughter Ellie to hand out lemonade and popcorn to residents. She rose to the challenge brilliantly. In the Plateau, the Rue Saint-Denis BIA and Pauline Béchu helped make the Montreal Comic Arts Festival a resounding success. On Mont-Royal Avenue, which is once again pedestrian only, the trade fair is in full swing until Sunday. This summer, support local businesses.
