Mr. Speaker, a rare event is taking place this afternoon in Sainte-Foy, Quebec. The Quebec Minister of Justice will unveil a commemorative plaque to honour a former judge from the Supreme Court of Canada, Louis-Philippe Pigeon.
You will remember that Justice Louis-Philippe Pigeon was a brilliant lawyer and an eminent adviser to Premier Jean Lesage, before being appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada and eventually becoming chief justice.
The building that houses the Quebec Department of Justice will now be called Louis-Philippe Pigeon. Let us hope that this will be a source of inspiration for the current minister and his successors in making decisions.
This is yet more proof that Quebec has a real and full place in Canada.
