Mr. Speaker, the riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell is saddened by the loss of one of its most eminent citizens, the Hon. Louis P. Cécile. A native of Tecumseh, Ontario, and lawyer by trade, Mr. Cécile was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1948. He was re-elected in 1951, 1955, 1959 and 1963. During his long political career, he held three different cabinet portfolios.
After this illustrious career, he became an Ontario provincial court judge, a position he filled until he retired in 1980. On behalf of all of my constituents, I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his son Pierre and his daughters, Louise and Anne-Marie. Through his deeds, Louis Cécile will go down in the region's annals of history. His name will live on in our memory forever.
