Tribute to the late Earl Hastings
May 6, 1996
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today paid tribute to the
late Senator Earl Hastings:
"I was saddened to learn of the death of my longtime friend
and colleague, Earl Hastings. I will remember him as a kind and
compassionate man, a true liberal who always fought for the rights
of the individual. As a Senator, he played a leading role on
important justice issues, such as prison reform and capital punishment.
For many years, he was the principal standard-bearer of Liberalism
in Alberta.
He served his province and his country with great distinction,
and I know he will be missed by his many friends and associates
in Ottawa, Alberta, and across the country. Aline and I extend
our sincere condolences to his family and friends."
