Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness and regret that I rise in the House to express condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Ms. Louise Pargeter, a parole officer who lost her life on October 6 in tragic circumstances.
Our parole officers and other Correctional Service of Canada employees work every day to safeguard our citizens and communities.
This tragedy underscores the risks faced every day by correctional services and law enforcement officers in fulfilling their commitment to protect Canadians.
I invite my colleagues to join me in extending our heartfelt sympathies on behalf of all Canadians.
