“Jim Travers was one of Parliament Hill’s most distinguished must-read national affairs columnists. His succinct turn of phrase, sharp analytical skills and measured approach to his subjects were greatly admired by his followers and colleagues. On a personal level, he was always amiable and approachable, a consummate professional whose deep knowledge of politics was matched by his good nature and quick wit.
“On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and our parliamentary caucus, I offer my deepest condolences to Jim’s family, his wife Joan and sons Patrick and Ben, and his many friends and colleagues. He will be deeply missed in the hallowed halls of Parliament Hill.”
