Mr. Speaker, we were very sad to hear about the death of Charly Washipabano, an important figure back home in my riding. He was a member of Hockey Abitibi-Témiscamingue's board of directors and program coordinator with the Eeyou Istchee Sports and Recreation Association. Charly Washipabano was a former player with the Amos Comètes midget AA and Amos Forestiers midget AAA teams in the late 1990s, and he later joined the U.S. college circuit in New Hampshire. After his hockey career, he played a key role in developing hockey in James Bay as a coach trainer and coach of several minor hockey teams. In 2022, he was invited as a guest coach to the Montreal Canadiens development camp for hockey hopefuls. A charismatic and iconic figure within the Cree Nation, he left us far too soon. I offer my deepest condolences to his family, his friends and Cree communities.
