A state funeral will be held Saturday morning at Notre-Dame Basilica
A solemn parade of dignitaries and well-wishers offered condolences Tuesday to the family of Brian Mulroney as the former prime minister began lying in state near Parliament Hill.
Gov. Gen. Mary Simon and her husband Whit Fraser were the first to pay their respects, followed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “I think he was a visionary in a lot of ways,” Ross said, referencing Mulroney’s efforts to secure a treaty to control acid rain pollution. “I think that’s something that’s very sadly lacking in Canadian public life today,” Peck said, adding that he felt emotional to be paying his respects to a great man.“They wanted to achieve things, and they had an agenda. Today there’s too much disruptive division instead of vision.”
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was visibly emotional as she embraced the family and paused in front of Mulroney’s casket. She gave an impassioned speech Monday inside the House of Commons as part of a set of emotional tributes from party leaders.
