Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
mr
speaker
today
I
am
honored
to
recognize
pat
montani,
a
constituent
who,
along
with
his
wife,
brendan
dedicated
themselves
to
having
a
positive
impact
on
our
world
through
their
grassroots
non-profit
work.
Unfortunately,
he
passed
away
last
year
after
a
battle
with
cancer,
at
only
71.
A
A
bicycles
for
humanity,
is
a
global
grassroots
movement
that
understands
that
a
mobility
of
a
bicycle
provides
can
have
a
major
impact
on
communities
in
the
developing
world.
It
started
as
a
small
initiative.
The
first
shipment
of
500
used
bikes
was
collected
in
central
bc
and
shipped
to
namibia.
In
africa,
in
2006
there
were
four
chapters
of
bikes
for
humanity
and
through
pat's
a
tireless
vision
and
dedication.
He
grew
the
organization,
and
today
it
has
over
50
chapters
worldwide
and
they've
delivered
more
than
300
000
bikes
around
the
world.
A
Many
of
the
shipping
containers
that
were
used
to
send
the
bicycles
remained
in
the
communities
in
need
and
were
converted
into
community
bicycle
workshops.
His
innovative
thinking
allowed
for
efficient
use
of
resources
which
they
delivered
and
always
looked
for
ways
to
deliver
even
greater
impacts.
