Statement by the Prime Minister on the death of Chuck Cadman, MP
July 09, 2005
Prime Minister Paul Martin today made the following statement on the news that Chuck Cadman, MP for Surrey North had passed away:
“It was with great sadness that Sheila and I learned today that Chuck Cadman had passed away after such a long and courageous struggle against cancer.
Chuck Cadman was an outstanding and influential Parliamentarian, a man drawn to public service by personal tragedy who made a real and positive difference to Canada’s justice system. A passionate advocate for the rights of victims, his efforts were reflected in a number of changes to the Criminal Code and the proclamation of the new Youth Criminal Justice Act.
With integrity and principle, Chuck Cadman came into politics to make a difference. And he succeeded. To say the least, he will be missed by us all.
To Chuck’s wife Dona and daughter Jodi, Sheila and I offer our most heartfelt condolences and deepest respect."
