Instrumental in the Quiet Revolution, he helped build modern-day Quebec. He grew up in a modest home and became an icon in the union movement, devoting his life to the advancement of the working class. To his dying day, Marcel Pepin spoke out publicly in defence of the rights of Quebec, the less fortunate and workers, whether they were unionized or not.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"701430\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As a former secretary general of the CSN, I salute his memory and the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois joins me in congratulating the City of Montreal on this initiative to keep the memory of this great fighter alive.</p>",
