Tribute to the late Carl Goldenberg:

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today paid tribute to former senator H. Carl Goldenberg:

"I was saddened to learn of the death of Carl Goldenberg, a man who advised Canadian prime ministers since Mackenzie King.

I will remember him as a brilliant man with a remarkable command of wide-ranging policy issues. He was an eminent lawyer, a respected senator, a noted constitutional expert, and one of Canada's leading labour conciliators who helped to settle some of the most difficult labour disputes across the country. He was a modest and unassuming man, but always very articulate and persuasive. Above all, he was deeply committed to public service and to Canada.

Aline joins me in extending sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Carl Goldenberg."
