Her ongoing and even stubborn commitment to make Quebec a better, more just, more compassionate society is an example to us all.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250759\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This passionate woman cared about a number of causes. A sovereigntist from the start and a resident of Saint-Z\u00e9non, she was an active member of the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois in Joliette. She also sat on the Conseil de la souverainet\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec. As co-founder of Eau Secours, she fought passionately and vigorously for the environment, as she did for all the causes she defended during her lifetime.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250760\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A committed feminist, she made an invaluable contribution to the magazine <em>La vie en rose</em>, which she helped found. Her work is an inspiration to us all, and her passing will leave a huge void in Quebec and in the world of letters.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250761\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Goodbye, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1250758\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est avec consternation que nous avons appris le d\u00e9c\u00e8s de l'\u00e9crivaine H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Pedneault, une amie, une romanci\u00e8re et une journaliste de grand talent. Son engagement constant, et m\u00eame ent\u00eat\u00e9, \u00e0 faire de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 plus juste, plus solidaire et plus belle est exemplaire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250759\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cette femme passionn\u00e9e avait \u00e0 coeur plusieurs causes. Souverainiste de la premi\u00e8re heure, r\u00e9sidante de Saint-Z\u00e9non, elle \u00e9tait membre et militante du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de Joliette. Elle si\u00e9geait aussi au Conseil de la souverainet\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec. Cofondatrice d'Eau Secours, elle a su d\u00e9fendre avec fougue et vigueur la cause environnementale, comme toutes celles qu'elle a d\u00e9fendues au cours de sa vie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250760\" data-originallang=\"fr\">F\u00e9ministe engag\u00e9e, par ses textes, elle a fait une contribution irrempla\u00e7able au magazine <em>La vie en rose</em>, dont elle \u00e9tait l'une des fondatrices. Son oeuvre est une source d'inspiration pour nous tous et son d\u00e9part laissera un grand vide au Qu\u00e9bec et dans le monde des lettres. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250761\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Salut, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne!</p>"
