I want to draw the attention of the members to an important matter.
I ask for the attention of the House as we rise to pay tribute to Corporal Jamie Brendan Murphy, a soldier from Conception Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, who was killed last Tuesday while on patrol in Kabul, Afghanistan, with the battle group Third Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment.
We share the grief felt by Corporal Murphy's family, by his kith and kin, and by his comrades in arms.
I ask hon. members to please, rise and spend a moment in silence in his memory.
[Editor's Note: The House stood in silence]
