The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the death of the Honourable Francis Fox:
“It is with sadness that I learned today of the death of the Honourable Francis Fox, former senator and Member of Parliament for Blainville—Deux-Montagnes.
“Francis has dedicated his career to serving Canadians. A lawyer by profession, he was first elected as a Member of Parliament in 1972. Over the next 12 years, he has been a tireless advocate for his constituents, his community and Canadians across the country.
“When my father was Prime Minister, Francis served as Solicitor General of Canada, Minister of Communications and Secretary of State of Canada. Among other contributions, he introduced the historic Access to Information Act and led the creation of Telefilm Canada, which continues to promote and foster Canadian talent in film and media today.
“His leadership earned him an appointment to the Senate in 2005, where he served Canadians until his retirement.
“Francis left an indelible mark on Canadian politics. Today, we remember him and the legacy he leaves us. On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my condolences to his family and friends.”
