Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, we'd like to join you in sending our thoughts and prayers to the victims of the tragic instance at LaGuardia Airport. We send our sincere condolences to the families of the lost, and send our thoughts, prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery to those recovering.
My questions will be for you, Mr. Verleysen. I appreciate the thank you at the beginning of your speech, but I must admit I feel that, as your MP, I've let you down. I feel that multiple governments, both provincial and federal, have let you and your family down. I'd like you to start by telling us a bit about your sister, what type of person she was and what we lost.
