MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Burgeo & LaPoile
MR. PARSONS: I rise today to recognize and congratulate twenty-six year old, Trooper Scott Simms, of Channel-Port aux Basques on his service to our country and his safe return from Afghanistan.

Trooper Simms is a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons with the Canadian Armed Forces and he recently returned from a successful tour of duty in Afghanistan. Scott was stationed at the Forward Operating Base at Frontenac, in the Argandab District where he was the driver of a Coyote and other assigned duties. Scott’s tour of duty in Afghanistan was from September 20, 2008 to May 3, 2009. He celebrated his twenty-sixth birthday while in Kandahar.

Trooper Simms is the son of Wayne and Gail Simms of Channel-Port aux Basques. Scott is currently stationed in Petawawa, Ontario.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in extending thanks to Trooper Scott Simms on his service to our country. All the best to Scott and his family.

Thank you.
