Most Monarchist Comment of 2017?

I have spoken before of how much I like the
site openparliament.ca. There are few
better ways to keep track of what Canadian
politicians are actually saying. I used it a
great deal during my surveys of the
Conservative and NDP leadership
candidates. But then I didn't check it for
almost a year. And that is how I missed this
great comment by Liberal MP Alexandra
Mendès back in November: 

---

"Mr. Speaker, last week our Queen and Prince Philip celebrated their 70th wedding
anniversary. Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh have had the longest
marriage in the history of the British Crown. This is another joyful milestone for
our head of state. Last year, Her Majesty became the first reigning Canadian
monarch to reach 90 years of age. The Globe and Mail stated last July that “The
monarchy is the bedrock of Canada's constitutional order.” I firmly agree, and I
have always believed that. I am proud to be a strong monarchist,
holding firm to the belief that historical continuity is the best anchor
for bold and progressive governance. I would like to express my sincere hope
that Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh will continue to be beacons of love and
devotion for years to come. I send my deep gratitude for such an inspiring life to
Her Majesty and His Royal Highness."  [Emphasis Added]

She had also made another comment in 2016 thanking Her
Majesty on her birthday stating: "Our Queen has devoted her
entire adult life to service, a word so often scorned and yet so
notably lived by a sovereign who brilliantly has reinvented
the role to which she was born." These comments are positive
to see when many politicians would not make it a point to
come right out and say they are monarchists. It is especially
rare for a Quebec politician to do so (which is unfortunate). I
will be watching Alexandra Mendès' career with interest going
forward.
