Following a moment of silence, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other party leaders paid tribute to the former prime minister, who is to have a state funeral this week
As Mila Mulroney and Brian Mulroney’s children looked on in the House of Commons today, party leaders paid tribute to the former prime minister, who is to have a state funeral this week.
“He loved this country with his whole heart and he knew we were capable of great things,” Trudeau told the Commons. Trudeau referred to Mulroney as, “one of the lions of Canadian politics,” and open with his political advice. Pierre Poilievre, who now leads the Conservative party that replaced Mr. Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives, said Mulroney served as an inspiration to young Canadians, rising from working-class roots in a small town in Quebec to become prime minister.The former prime minister’s family are in Ottawa from today through Wednesday for events linked to Mulroney’s funeral in Montreal. Today, those events include private meetings with Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
