Marc Garneau Hangs It Up.

Marc is leaving politics. He's resigned his seat in the Commons. I can't let him go without thanking him for his service to Canada in so many ways: in the Navy, in our space program and, of course, in politics. 

Marc is one of the nicest people I ever met in politics. With a record like his and his quite obvious decency and sense of integrity, it was no contest during my Liberal incarnation to support him for leader. For me, he's the Stanfield of our age.

I know whatever may lie ahead for Marc, he will still keep his hand in at least indirectly to continue serving his fellow man and to make Canada an even better place than when he found it. 

All the best going forward and God's speed for what lies ahead.
