Thank you, Chair.
If you will indulge me, Chair, I am absolutely going to mention this amendment, but I've received news, and I think the public safety committee is the appropriate place to mention it.
Durham regional police, in my region, just put out a notice about an hour ago. We're devastated to hear about the line-of-duty death of an OPP officer near Hearst, Ontario. I want to officially extend my condolences to the OPP on the loss of Constable Tarun Bali. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, colleagues and all those affected by the tragic loss.
He was a young man who had been serving for only a couple of years. I felt that the public safety committee was a good place for us to remember that we stand with our officers and that when we lose one who's running towards danger when the rest of us are running away from it, it deserves mention.
