The flag on Parliament’s Peace Tower fluttered at half-mast Friday morning as Canadians paid tribute to former prime minister Brian Mulroney . “ Canada is in mourning,” said Liberal House leader Steve MacKinnon inside a sombre House of Commons, where a book of condolences has been set up for members of Parliament to sign. He had been treated for prostate cancer almost a year ago and underwent a heart procedure in August.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed a state funeral will be held to honour the Progressive Conservative titan, who held the prime minister’s post for nearly nine years. Trudeau said details on the timing are being worked out with Mulroney’s family, and there will also be opportunities for the public to offer their condolences. The House of Commons was scheduled to sit Friday before a two-week break, but MPs agreed to suspend the sitting until March 18, when they will officially pay tribute to Mulroney
