Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Louise Pargeter, a parole officer with the Correctional Service of Canada.
Ms. Pargeter was killed in the line of duty in Yellowknife on October 6. She is only the second parole officer in Canada to die in the line of duty. The first was Mary Steinhauser, who died in a prison hostage taking in New Westminster, B.C. in 1975.
Ms. Pargeter was on her eighth day back at work after her maternity leave. Our condolences go out to Louise's family, friends and co-workers in the correctional service.
