Mr. Speaker, the late Lucien Lamoureux represented Stormont—Dundas from 1962 to 1974. He was the longest-serving Speaker of the House of Commons.
After retiring from politics, the hon. Lucien Lamoureux served as our ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal.
In 1974 the city of Cornwall named the waterfront development in his honour. Lamoureux Park today is enjoyed by the entire community.
Left to mourn are his wife, Elizabeth Hoffman-Lamoureux of Brussels, and his five children, Michel, Sylvie and Adèle of Ottawa, Claude of Montreal, and Isabelle of Brussels.
Lucien Lamoureux also leaves behind Claire Couture of Hull.
I wish to extend to them once again my deepest sympathy on the passing of the hon. Lucien Lamoureux. His record in this institution is a matter of great pride for his family and all the residents of Stormont—Dundas.
The hon. Lucien Lamoureux was a great parliamentarian.
