I've recounted the events and stages of what happened. I'm doing fine and I wasn't hurt.
I want to thank you, Madam Chair. The chair of the other committee on which I sit also started the meeting by saying a word about this.
I also want to thank all my colleagues who supported me and sent me very sincere messages. I think it shocked and troubled a lot of people to see that this kind of thing was possible. I'm a big guy, six feet two inches tall. I don't even dare imagine what a young woman or someone who doesn't have my frame must experience in this kind of a city where insecurity is constantly growing.
I hope that this example will serve others. Let's always be extremely careful.
You should also know that, specifically as it concerns members of Parliament, we have reported this incident to the Sergeant-at-Arms, of course, and I hope that the safety of members who are travelling can be improved.
