Statement by the Prime Minister
February 15, 2000
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today expressed his sadness at the news of
the death of former PEI Premier Angus MacLean:
"For three decades, Angus MacLean was a strong and effective voice for the people of
Prince Edward Island. I got to know him best during his quarter century as an Island MP.
While we naturally squared off on the opposite side of many issues, I always enjoyed his
good humour and respected his dedication to his constituents. As Premier, Mr. MacLean was
a fine exemplar of forceful and persuasive advocacy for one’s province going hand-in-hand
with a broader national vision. He will be greatly missed.
Aline joins me in extending our deepest sympathies to the family of Angus MacLean and his
many, many friends."
