Mr. Speaker, our Liberal family lost one of its most loved members, Jim Higgins, to colon cancer on September 13. Jim was one of the first people I met when I sought the nomination for Oakville North—Burlington. He worked in finance, mostly in the automotive industry, so it made sense that he was the only treasurer that Oakville North—Burlington Liberals have ever had. Even when facing difficult cancer treatments over the last three years, Jim continued to manage the books right up to the end. Jim was a passionate Liberal, with a strong moral compass and sense of social justice. His cozy English pub-style basement was the location of many gatherings when Jim and Tamara warmly welcomed people into their home. He was devoted to his wife Tamara and his family, who are grieving his loss, along with his many friends and colleagues. Canada is a better place because of my friend Jim Higgins. May he rest in peace.
