Commons adjourns after tributes to former finance minister Flaherty

Tributes to the late Jim Flaherty occupied the largest share of the sitting. Conservative MP Kellie Leitch recalled his fierce determination and national leadership. NDP MP Peter Julian praised his courage over two decades in public life while Liberal MP Scott Brison noted the example set by his public service.

Bloc Québécois MP Jean-François Fortin said Flaherty did what he believed right for Canadians. Green Party MP Elizabeth May observed that partisanship faded after the news of his death. The House then adopted a motion to adjourn in his memory.
