Mr. Speaker, we have just learned that there has been an explosion in Montreal, probably caused by a gas leak, which has destroyed Accueil Bonneau and left more than 30 people injured.
Accueil Bonneau is a volunteer-run centre providing assistance and shelter to the homeless. The explosion happened at lunch time. The Bloc Quebecois wishes the victims of this tragedy to know that our thoughts are with them.
I also wish to express the confidence myself and my colleague have in the ability of Accueil Bonneau to bounce back from this misfortune and to continue its mission, which is so essential to the Montreal community.
