[IRPCoalition] RIP Bertrand de La Chapelle

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

Thanks Minda for passing on this sad news.

Bertrand was a colourful character, and an experienced policy advisor 
who was present in the early days of the coalition and drafting of the 
charter. He was always up for a debate, a chat, and a conversation.

He will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends as they 
celebrate his life today.

Best wishes

Marianne F
