The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada joins millions of Canadians this morning in grieving the passing of former federal politician and tireless supporter of working Canadians, Ed Broadbent.
Mr. Broadbent was a highly respected national figure whose popularity cut across geographical and political lines. A lifelong advocate for Canada’s disadvantaged both in the House of Commons and as a social activist, he was the true incarnation of the core labour values of fairness, equality, and service to others. His passing is a great loss not only for Canada’s labour movement but for all Canadians across the country.
PIPSC has been a proud supporter of the Broadbent Institute, the organization that bears his name, for many years.
On behalf of our membership, we extend our sincere condolences to Mr. Broadbent’s family and friends at this difficult time. He will be truly missed.
