Mr. Speaker, on September 2, a terrible plane crash in Nova Scotia killed 227 people, that is 213 passengers and 14 crew members.
Yves de Roussan, a Quebecker working for UNICEF, was among the victims.
On behalf of my colleagues, I wish to extend my most heartfelt sympathy to the families and friends of the victims. This tragedy demands that we as a community take measures to provide maximum safety to those who use the various modes of transportation.
But for the time being, my thoughts are with those closest to the victims. I share their overwhelming grief.
