Mr. Speaker, we were saddened to learn of the passing of Paul Berval.
Mr. Berval made Canadians laugh over a period of several decades. As a multi-talented person, he found all sorts of ways to make people laugh. He first met with success in plays where his parody of classical lines made people roar with laughter.
Mr. Berval also entertained thousands of television viewers by doing the voice for characters such as Fred Caillou in the animated cartoon Les Pierrafeu . The younger ones will also remember him as the zebra Alacazoo, in the popular television show Passe-Partout .
I invite hon. members to join me in saluting the memory of Paul Berval, who won the hearts of many Canadians by putting a touch of humour in their lives.
