Madam Chair, I listened very intently to my colleague and I agree with everything he said. He is one individual who feels the pain probably as much as I do with regard to these RCMP officers because their families live in his riding. Two of them came from his community. I had the opportunity to attend the two funerals of the two RCMP officers in his riding in Red Deer, Alberta.
He was at the funeral and memorial service. When he sees officers gunned down in this kind of situation in the prime of their lives, how has that impacted him? Has he felt the same emotion that I have experienced and indeed the entire country when this sort of thing happened?
I wonder if he could comment on how that situation impacted him.
