Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Quebec lost a pioneer of the stage and a great lady, Juliette Huot.
Everyone knew her as warm, funny, honest, intelligent, generous and tender.
Juliette Huot moved generations of Quebecers with style on radio and television, in the theatre and on film.
Who will forget her grand and rich interpretation of the role of Madame Sylvain in the series Symphorien or of Madame Plouffe in the film Les Plouffe .
Juliette Huot was socially committed in the artistic and her own communities. In an effort to help artists in difficult straits, she helped establish the Caisse de fonds de secours pour les artistes and the Chez-nous des artistes. She was hugely concerned about the disadvantaged, as evidenced by her devotion to the Little Brothers of the Pour.
All of Quebec pays tribute and offers its thanks.
