Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to mark the sudden passing of Darllie Pierre‑Louis, a municipal councillor for the City of Mascouche.
An entire community is mourning the loss of this kind-hearted woman who went through life with a smile on her face and an infectious joie de vivre. Darllie was committed to humanitarian causes and got involved in their work to help improve people's lives.
I got to know her when she was my student. She always remained the same—an intense person, a good listener and a natural, positive leader. She was seen as a leader in workforce reintegration and the social economy in Lanaudière. She certainly distinguished herself as the executive director of Buffet Accès Emploi.
As deeply as she cared for her community, she cared for her family even more. I offer my deepest condolences to her husband, Carlho, and her three children.
I wish Darllie a safe journey. She will never be forgotten.
