Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of Phil Lind. Phil was a Rogers executive for 54 years, working alongside Ted Rogers to build a great Canadian company. Phil was also a tireless advocate for multilingual, multicultural and specialty programming. In 1992, Phil had the vision to create CPAC, an independent broadcaster whose mission was to connect Canadians to their democratic institutions. Phil remained steadfastly committed to CPAC and its mission as the indispensable voice of democracy in Canada for over 31 years. He strongly believed that Canadian news should be told by Canadian producers. As the founder of what is now Rogers Telefund, Phil spearheaded the process to ensure financing for Canadian film and television producers over four decades. He was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 2002 and inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame in 2012. He is survived by his children and partner Ellen. On behalf of all parliamentarians, join me in remembering this titan of Canadian business.

Madam Speaker, on February 20, a pillar of the student community at Polyvalente Le Carrefour passed away. Éric Noël-de-Tilly was a devoted history teacher who treated his students with unwavering respect and love. Over the years, he passed on his passion for civic engagement to his students in order to teach them the meaning of democracy. Because of him, several hundred students participated in the 30‑hour famine. Today is the 30th edition of this event, and I will be there to honour the memory of this dedicated teacher. Mr. Noël-de-Tilly is a citizen, a teacher, a role model and a colleague we will never forget. My thoughts are with his family, especially his four children. I offer them my deepest condolences, and I thank the entire Polyvalente Le Carrefour community for keeping his spirit alive. Thank you for everything, Éric.
