Mr. Rick Norlock (Northumberland—Quinte West, CPC):

Mr. Speaker, as summer vacation nears, I would like to invite all of Canada to visit our great tourist destinations in Northumberland--Quinte West. We are the gateway to eastern Ontario.

Steeped in history, shopping for all, the arts, entertainment and golf. Yes, we have it all.

In Trenton, visit the Royal Canadian Air Force Museum or fish in the Bay of Quinte.

A quick boat ride up the Trent River will bring us to a myriad of locks on the historic river system.

Stop in Frankford or Cambellford for a visit to the chocolate factory, Empire Cheese or enjoy a Northumberland ale, a nice lunch in Hastings or a round of golf in Warkworth.

In Brighton, take in the historic Proctor House or a play at the Brighton Barn Theatre.

Visit the Big Apple in Colborne. Enjoy the vistas of Lake Ontario from Cobourg's Victoria Park. Shop the historic Main Street of Port Hope or take in a play at the Capitol Theatre and visit our farming families during the rural ramble.

Yes, Northumberland--Quinte West truly is the jewel in the crown of eastern Ontario.
