Mr. Speaker, Canadians are in shock at the horrifying news of the tragic and inhuman attacks on the good people of Spain today.
All the adjectives of horror and revulsion which come to mind can never adequately express the sentiments of decent people everywhere as our hearts and prayers go out to the loved ones of those murdered and maimed in Madrid.
No cause on earth, political or otherwise, can even pretend to justify the mass terrorist murdering of innocent men, women and children. We must all unequivocally raise our voices and our collective resolve not to just utterly reject the use of terrorism, but also to work together unceasingly to see the perpetrators and supporters of terror stopped cold in their evil pursuits.
May the good people of Spain, and their friends and families in Canada know that we grieve with them today.
