Mr. Speaker, earlier this month Windsor lost one of its greatest citizens, Charles Joseph Clark.
Recently inducted into the Order of Canada, Charlie Clark was a fine lawyer, a community activist, a philanthropist and a businessman. He was indeed a great community leader, one to whom Windsor turned for counsel on many occasions such as when the local CBC station was threatened, when the casino became a reality and when we wanted to preserve our unique cultural and natural heritage.
Charlie Clark was also a mentor to many young lawyers, including the three current members of Parliament from Windsor.
I know all members will join me in remembering a great Windsorite, Charles J. Clark, and in offering our most sincere condolences to his family.
