“A hockey player died. I want to say nice things about him so people in my riding will like me.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, it is with heavy hearts we learned of the sudden passing of Claude Lemieux at age 60. Born in Buckingham, my riding, Mr. Lemieux's talent, determination and immense love of competition left a mark on hockey in Quebec, Canada and around the world. Drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, he helped his team achieve a Stanley Cup victory in 1986. I was there. He stood out as one of the greatest playoff competitors of his generation. Over the course of his brilliant career, he won four Stanley Cups. He gained a reputation as a player who could rise to the occasion in the toughest moments and turn games around. Quebec has lost one of its greatest sports ambassadors, a man who inspired generations of young hockey fans with his dedication and perseverance. On behalf of all Quebeckers and Canadians, and on behalf of the constituents of Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation, I offer my sincerest condolences to Claude Lemieux's family and loved ones, and to his extended family of Montreal Canadiens.
