Mr. Speaker, I would like to add my voice to that of my colleagues who, yesterday, paid tribute to the mother of Daniel and Pierre-Marc Johnson, who passed away. Like two members from the Bloc, I had the chance to work with Daniel and Pierre-Marc Johnson in the Quebec National Assembly during two terms.
I was also part of of Daniel Johnson's team during his first bid for leadership. What is remarkable about the Johnson brothers is that, confronted daily by issues they approached from opposite ends of the political spectrum, they managed to keep strong and constant fraternal ties. They are friends as well as brothers. This comes from the strong family values passed on to them by their parents. I offer my deepest sympathy to Daniel, Pierre-Marc and their families.
