Statement by the Prime Minister
May 24, 2000
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today expressed his deep
sadness at the news of the death of E. Davie Fulton:
"Canada has lost one its most distinguished and
able jurists and public figures. A Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister
from British Columbia, Mr. Fulton lent his name to the Fulton-Favreau
formula which set out to patriate our Constitution. In a stellar career that
encompassed both politics and the law, Mr. Fulton dedicated his considerable
intellectual gifts to the principles of justice and to the betterment of
Canada.
Aline joins me in extending our deepest condolences to
the family of E. Davie Fulton and to the many people whose lives were
touched by this unique gentleman, jurist, and scholar."
