Comme tous les Canadiens, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 attrist\u00e9 d\u2019apprendre, le mois dernier, le d\u00e9c\u00e8s de Lincoln\u00a0Alexander \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 90\u00a0ans. Je tiens \u00e0 lui rendre hommage, car notre peuple a une \u00e9norme dette envers ce grand Canadien, et ma g\u00e9n\u00e9ration surtout lui doit beaucoup. Il nous a montr\u00e9 la voie et nous avons pu la suivre.<\/p>\n

M.\u00a0Alexander a \u00e9t\u00e9 un pionnier \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards, sans jamais chercher \u00e0 \u00eatre reconnu pour ses r\u00e9alisations exceptionnelles. Fils d\u2019une femme de chambre et d\u2019un employ\u00e9 des chemins de fer, il a su surmonter d\u2019innombrables obstacles tout au long de sa vie. En 1968, il devient le premier Noir \u00e0 si\u00e9ger au Parlement du Canada o\u00f9 il est d\u00e9put\u00e9 conservateur de Hamilton\u2013Ouest. En 1979, il est le premier Noir \u00e0 devenir membre du Cabinet f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Toronto, il est le premier membre de sa famille \u00e0 poursuivre des \u00e9tudes universitaires. En 1953, il obtient son dipl\u00f4me en droit \u00e0 Osgoode Hall et devient l\u2019un des cinq Noirs \u00e0 pratiquer le droit en Ontario. Lors de la Seconde\u00a0Guerre\u00a0mondiale, il a fait partie de l\u2019Aviation royale du Canada, et ce, m\u00eame s\u2019il \u00e9tait difficile pour les Noirs \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque de se faire recruter dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e canadienne.<\/p>\n

J\u2019ai d\u2019abord c\u00f4toy\u00e9 M.\u00a0Alexander en politique, et plus tard, lorsqu\u2019il \u00e9tait chancelier de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Guelph, nous avons fait plus ample connaissance \u00e0 la faveur de diverses activit\u00e9s, dont l\u2019inauguration d\u2019un \u00e9difice qui porte d\u00e9sormais son nom, Alexander\u00a0Hall. C\u2019est lui qui a exerc\u00e9 le plus longtemps les fonctions de chancelier \u00e0 cette universit\u00e9, et \u00e0 la fin de son mandat en 2007, il s\u2019est vu d\u00e9cerner le titre de chancelier \u00e9m\u00e9rite.<\/p>\n

Lorsqu\u2019il occupait ce poste, M.\u00a0Alexander a accord\u00e9 plus de 20\u00a0000\u00a0dipl\u00f4mes et il \u00e9tait l\u2019exemple vivant qu\u2019\u00e0 c\u0153ur vaillant rien d\u2019impossible. L\u2019h\u00e9ritage qu\u2019il a laiss\u00e9 se perp\u00e9tuera \u00e0 travers sa famille, les \u00e9coles, les \u00e9difices, les prix et m\u00eame l\u2019autoroute qui portent son nom, m\u00eame s\u2019il n\u2019a jamais eu de permis de conduire.<\/p>\n

M.\u00a0Alexander a rendu mon parti plus ouvert et plus inclusif, et son \u00e9lection \u00e0 la Chambre des communes en 1968 a permis au Parlement de traduire plus fid\u00e8lement la composition et la diversit\u00e9 du Canada. Et si je si\u00e8ge, moi, fils d\u2019immigrants chinois et n\u00e9erlandais, \u00e0 la Chambre des communes, c\u2019est gr\u00e2ce au travail accompli par des g\u00e9ants comme Lincoln\u00a0Alexander.<\/p>\n

Le Canada est un endroit o\u00f9 il fait mieux vivre depuis que Lincoln\u00a0Alexander a illumin\u00e9 nos vies. Puissions-nous dor\u00e9navant incarner ses id\u00e9aux et son amour du Canada. Que son \u00e2me repose en paix.<\/p>\n
