Mr. Speaker, I want to salute the courage of a young man, a constituent of mine, Private George Anderson of Cape Ray, Newfoundland.
Members will realize that he was one of two Canadian peacekeepers seriously injured on Sunday in Croatia. In that incident he lost an eye and the lower parts of both his legs while doing his bit to help restore peace and stability in that part of the world.
Last evening I went to see his family: Ralph and Mary, his father and mother, and Angela and LeRoy, his sister and brother. His father told me he knew it was a dangerous place to be.
I want him and his family to know on our behalf that as he goes through this very difficult time in his life our thoughts and our prayers are with him.
