A Statement by a Member recognizing a tow truck company for helping the member's elderly father with his broken mobility scooter. The statement didn't relate to any government business, just the member using his time in Parliament to thank a company for assisting his family.

“I want to cheer for a program that tows my father's scooter for free. They're helping seniors avoid extra expenses and maintain their independence.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, today I want to highlight an act of generosity that deserves recognition. Recently, my father, who is 94 years old, had his mobility scooter break down. This vehicle is much more than a means of transportation for him. It also represents his independence and freedom. We called Remorquage Boissonneault for help. Once the vehicle had been towed, I asked the tow operator, Luc Dumont, how much we owed him. His response was that we did not owe him anything and that he does not charge seniors for that type of service. My father was touched by this simple gesture, which allows seniors, who often live on modest incomes, to avoid an extra expense and maintain their mobility. At a time when we often talk about the major challenges that our seniors face, it is important to recognize these concrete gestures that are truly making a difference in their daily lives. I want to thank Remorquage Boissonneault for their generosity and for their example of solidarity with our entire community.
