Corneille says he fell in love with Quebec while on a winter visit several years ago; he said at the ceremony that feeling so at home in the province helps heal the loss of his family. Mervil says the SSJB honour came as a surprise but at the same time "demonstrates the extraordinary spirit of openness in Quebec."
