Speaking at the memorial for former Liberal cabinet minister Jim Carr on Saturday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the Winnipeg MP a “truly great Canadian.”

Carr, who had been fighting multiple myeloma and kidney failure since 2019, died Monday at the age of 71.

Trudeau said Carr had remained dedicated “until the very end” and that he brought his “reliable prairie pragmatism” to any job he took on.

Trudeau added that Carr had made him “feel so special,” adding that Carr’s ability to “inspire” was a gift that was “just so extraordinary to discover.”

Carr held various roles in office, including minister of natural resources and minister of international trade diversification between 2015 and 2019. He later served as the special representative for the Prairies in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government in 2021.
