Mr. Speaker, the NBA's Larry O'Brien trophy weighs more than 20 pounds. How do I know that? It is because the trophy was brought home to my riding of Bourassa. Luguentz Dort, who faced off against his childhood friend Bennedict Mathurin, brought the trophy home to Bourassa. We really had it back home in Bourassa.
He also brought back hope. He brought back pride for young people in Bourassa. He also brought back a clear message about the need for infrastructure. It is unacceptable that over 40,000 young people in Bourassa have to train at night in another riding in order to have access to infrastructure or a sports complex.
Luguentz Dort brought back hope and pride, but he also brought back a clear message: Now, more than ever, the riding of Bourassa also has the right to a sports complex.
