Pierre Karl Péladeau, president and CEO of Quebecor, joined the eulogy following the death of Brian Mulroney, who served as the company's chairman until his last breath.
“Mr. Mulroney has left his mark on the history of Canada, but also on that of our company. From the late 1960s he was a valuable advisor to my father Pierre Péladeau, then he became an exceptional mentor for me,” Mr. Péladeau said in a press release on Thursday evening.
For more than 20 years and until the end of his life, the former prime minister sat on the board of Quebecor, of which he became president in 2014.
