"He helped. He was thoughtful and kind. He answered my questions, suggested a reading list, schooled me on where our government needed to reconsider things, scolded me gently for not engaging the sector as I should have, and was gracious and helpful in ways that are hard to summarize. He didn’t have to help me — he was my “opposition critic” and it wasn’t his job. But he wasn’t that kind of person or parliamentarian."
RIP #MarcGarneau
