Mr. Speaker, on July 24, Sherbrooke lost one of its bright lights with the passing of a beloved resident at the age of 94.
Lilianne Poulin was extremely active on Sherbrooke's political scene. As a seasoned volunteer, Ms. Poulin followed wherever her convictions and deep faith in democracy led her. She cared about the well-being of her community and worked tirelessly to convince people to get involved in politics if they wanted to effect change. Her interest in politics led her to take on a wide range of duties during numerous election campaigns.
At age 90, she was forced to curb her political involvement due to health issues, but she remained passionate about politics to the end.
I want to express my deepest condolences to Ms. Poulin's loved ones and thank them for sharing this extraordinary woman with the Sherbrooke community.
