I thank the member for the question.

I was informed this morning that a front-line police officer from the RCMP in British Columbia was wounded. This happened while two RCMP members were performing a vehicle stop in Kamloops, British Columbia, at 2:45 this morning as part of an ongoing operation investigating organized crime. One member was shot. The RCMP members returned fire, but the suspect fled the scene and was later apprehended.

I just got confirmation from Mike Cabana that he's undergoing surgery, but at this point in time his condition is stable and we certainly hope

…that he will recover from his injuries as quickly as possible.

Maybe I can turn to Mike Cabana.
