Madam Speaker, Canada's many mayors work hard to improve our communities. When one of them passes away suddenly, it leaves a huge void.
Today I want to pay tribute to the mayor of Cap-Santé, Denis Jobin, who passed away on April 20, 2018, following a particularly aggressive illness.
Inspired by his leadership, town councillors will take up the torch and ensure their municipality continues to thrive long into the future.
The people of Cap-Santé were united behind their mayor, who did so much to contribute to the development of their beautiful town.
A talented musician, Denis could play almost any instrument and had a special affinity for the arts. What an inspiration to his grandson, Éli. Denis was also one of the instigators behind the proposal to develop the Fort-Jacques-Cartier-et-du-Manoir-Allsopp site.
Marie-Pier, Anne, Laurent, and Michelle can be proud of their father. He was a great man. He was loved, dedicated, sincere, and loyal.
He was a loving partner to Sylvie, filling her life with happiness and beautiful music, and I know she will treasure those memories.
I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to them all.
