Justice Joseph Z. Daigle as a Canadian alternate member of the Roosevelt
Campobello International Park Commission.</span></span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">“I was pleased to recommend the appointment of Justice Daigle after his many years of
tireless public service to the people of New Brunswick," said Minister Pettigrew. "His
vast experience makes him an ideal candidate, and he will serve the interests of
Canadians well in his new position.”</span></span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Justice Daigle has had a distinguished legal and political career in New Brunswick,

<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">The Roosevelt Campobello International Park was established in 1964 by an
international treaty between Canada and the United States. The park, on Campobello
Island, New Brunswick, is the location of the summer home once used by former U.S.
president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It symbolizes the close relations between Canada
and the United States. More than 130,000 people visit the park annually, touring the
historic Roosevelt residence and making use of its interpretive exhibits and nature trails.</span></span></p>
