MacEachen died on September 12^th at the age of 96.

Premier Stephen McNeil says MacEachen brought Medicare to the country and worked behind the scenes to repatriate the constitution and give Canadians a Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Inverness Progressive Conservative MLA, Allan MacMaster and NDP leader Gary Burrill also spoke about MacEachen’s legacy before MLA’s observed a minute of silence in his honour.
