Mr. Speaker, in recent days we have been witness to tragic events in Northern Ireland, including the murder of two soldiers and a policeman.
We offer our sympathy to the families of the victims of these cowardly acts.
Canada condemns these incidents. These cynical acts of violence are the work of a small number of disaffected individuals who want to turn back the clock on the progress that has been made in establishing a lasting peace in Northern Ireland.
Canada and Canadians have consistently supported the cause of peace in Northern Ireland.
Canada stands steadfast in its support of the governments of the United Kingdom, Ireland and the political parties in Northern Ireland in their efforts to consolidate the gains of the peace process.
