Mr. Speaker, on Friday morning chaos erupted at the Brampton courthouse, on Hurontario Street.
After showing up to do his job, just like any other day during his 29-year career working to keep the people of Peel Region safe, Constable Mike Klarenbeek found himself confronted with an armed gunman. He pursued the individual and was shot in the stomach. Thankfully, he is recovering in hospital and is well on his way to recovery.
I want to let Constable Klarenbeek and his family know that our thoughts and prayers are with him as he recovers.
I want to thank all law enforcement officers for the good work that they do each and every day protecting Canadians.
