MONTRÉAL, Feb. 29,
2024 /CNW/ - The entire Quebecor family was
grieved to learn the passing of the Right Honourable Brian
Mulroney, a pillar of the Corporation's Board of Directors for more
than 20 years and its Chair since 2014. The Corporation pays
tribute to this great man, who leaves an enduring legacy in the
political, economic and philanthropic life of Québec and
Canada.
"Mr. Mulroney has left his mark not only on Canadian history,
but also the history of our Corporation," said Pierre Karl
Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor. "In the late 60s, he was a
trusted advisor to my late father, Pierre Péladeau, and became an
invaluable mentor to me. It was a privilege to be able to count on
his vast experience and wisdom. His sound counsel played an
important role in Quebecor's growth and its present-day
success."
"Mr. Mulroney was an exceptional person, a man of tremendous
class and unparalleled generosity," said Sylvie Lalande, Vice-Chair of the Board and Lead
Director of Quebecor. "Today Quebecor has lost an esteemed
colleague who brought unique leadership to the Board and left an
indelible mark on the business community of Québec and Canada. We all owe him a great debt of
gratitude."
"On behalf of the Board and the entire Quebecor family, I would
like to extend our sincere condolences to his wife Mila, his
children Caroline, Benedict, Mark and Nicolas, his grandchildren
and all the members of his family," said Mr. Péladeau. "He will be
sorely missed."
