I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hilary Weston. Hillary was a very proud Irish-Canadian, who served both Ireland and Canada with distinction and generosity.

In addition to her successful businesses and public service in Canada, through her leadership of the Ireland Funds Canada, she made a lasting contribution to Irish-Canadian relations.

I extend sincere condolences to her children Alannah and Galen, and the entire Weston family.
