"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"679335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, Fernand Boudreau, a distinguished FTQ unionist and long time sovereignist, president of the Montreal FTQ, commissioner representing workers at the Employment Insurance Commission in Ottawa, attentive husband, father and grandfather, considerate neighbour, involved citizen, and remarkable man, passed away on May 23. Everyone misses him and wants to express their admiration for him.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"679336\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Following a stint as a baker, he became a dockworker at the port of Montreal in 1960. This is an interest he would come back to after taking on a number of different responsibilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"679337\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He was active in the unions and the community and just as concerned about social housing and poverty as he was about the environment. He was a devoted sovereignty electioneer and was pleased to perform any task he was assigned. He was a sincere, devoted, generous, simple and great man. He survived leukemia thanks to a bone graft at the Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital, but then succumbed to pneumonia.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"679338\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Fernand, for the example you set for us all.</p>",

Tous le regrettent et veulent lui dire l'admiration qu'il leur a inspir\u00e9e. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"679336\" data-originallang=\"fr\">D'abord boulanger-p\u00e2tissier, il devint d\u00e9bardeur au port de Montr\u00e9al en 1960. Il y revint apr\u00e8s les diff\u00e9rentes responsabilit\u00e9s qu'il a exerc\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"679337\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il fut alors actif dans les milieux syndical et communautaire, pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 aussi bien par le logement social, la pauvret\u00e9 que l'environnement. Travailleur d'\u00e9lections engag\u00e9 pour la souverainet\u00e9, aucune t\u00e2che ne le rebutait. C'\u00e9tait un homme authentique, engag\u00e9, g\u00e9n\u00e9reux, simple et grand. Ce n'est pas la leuc\u00e9mie qu'il avait combattue avec succ\u00e8s gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une greffe osseuse \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital Maisonneuve-Rosemont qui l'a emport\u00e9, mais une pneumonie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"679338\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci, Fernand, pour l'exemple que tu nous as donn\u00e9 \u00e0 tous. </p>"
