THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE LOUIS-PHILIPPE DE GRANDPRÉ, BCL'38, LLD'72, passed away at age 90 on January 24, 2008 in Saint-Lambert, Quebec. In 1977, after serving as president of the Montreal and Quebec bars, as well as the Canadian Bar Association, he reached what many consider the pinnacle of a Canadian legal career when he was appointed as a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada – but the harried pace left him unsatisfied. "You're just reading through files all day long and you're just listening to arguments without being able to offer up anything," he told Le Devoir in 2007. "You can't call that a life!" After three years, he returned to private practice.

SIMON REISMAN, BA'41, MA'42, who played a key role in negotiating the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the U.S., passed away on March 9, 2008 in Ottawa. Born in Montreal, Simon built his career in Ottawa, working as a public servant with the finance department before becoming Canada’s first deputy minister of industry. He was a major contributor to the 1965 Canada-U.S. Auto Pact, which was essential in establishing the southern Ontario car industry. It was his Auto Pact success which spurred Brian Mulroney to hire him as the chief Canadian negotiator in the talks which led to the 1987 Free Trade Agreement. In his memoirs, the former prime minister praised Simon's skills, saying the FTA "would not have been successful without him."
