Mr. Speaker, last week, the Trudeau family mausoleum in the cemetery in Saint-Rémi, a community in the Montérégie area, was vandalized. This act targeted not just one Canadian family, but the entire Canadian family.
Defacing the tomb of a public person or a private citizen is a barbaric act.
When persons have served their country as prime minister, their record of public service is entitled to respect and, at their death, they are entitled to a tranquil and dignified repose.
It is worth reiterating these truths in this House lest some vandal think we do not care. We do care.
I am sure all members of this House will join me in extending to the Trudeau family our feelings of solidarity, affection and respect.
