Alexa McDonough - Member Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : As I listened to the three party leaders in this Chamber rise to mark the passing of Alexa McDonough yesterday on the occasion of her passing, it occurred to me that in the spirit of honouring her legacy, a few different voices might also be welcome.

So much is known or has been shared about Alexa, but I will share with this Chamber what I was fortunate enough to share with Alexa and her family and friends recently. For me, Alexa was an icon because she was fearless, she was trusted, and she was loved. There are few politicians about whom this can unreservedly be said. I ask all members of this House to join me in aspiring to these same high ideals of public service.
