Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the memory of Michel Malboeuf, who died following a cardiac arrest this weekend in New York, while returning from a trip to Florida with his wife. He leaves to mourn his wife, Jacinthe, and his three children, Patrice, Nicolas and Marie-Claude.
He was the founder, president and publisher of the Lien économique , a Franco-Ontarian magazine that he founded in 1993 and was publishing up until the last issue I received. We shall see what will happen to the magazine now.
Before the Lien économique , he worked at the Carillon and the newspaper, Le Droit , for ten years. He also owned his own advertising agency. In addition, he was an innovator in the field of information technology, with his attempt to establish the Village électronique francophone in Ontario.
We will remember him as a very kind person, a man who was involved in his community and in all kinds of organizations. He was in very good shape, and incidentally, he exercised and swam every day. He will be missed.
