Mr. Irwin Cotler (Mount Royal, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, I rise to remember a great Canadian and renaissance man, Izzy Asper, who loved life and was larger than life, who not only transformed the communications face of this country but was a top lawyer, distinguished parliamentarian, mover of the first Manitoba Bill of Rights, and a civic benefactor sans pareil, whose contribution to the arts, education, culture, health, sports and the prospective Canadian Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg will be an enduring legacy for all Canadians and beyond.
M. Irwin Cotler (Mont-Royal, Lib.): Monsieur le Président, je salue un grand Canadien et un esprit universel en la personne d'Izzy Asper. Aimant passionnément la vie, il la dépassait parfois, ce qui lui a permis de transformer le monde des communications au Canada.
