Mr. Speaker, together with all Canadians, I was deeply saddened by the news yesterday of the passing of Constable Vu Pham of the Ontario Provincial Police. My deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and colleagues.
This event is a harsh reminder of the dangerous conditions faced daily by the men and women of our law enforcement agencies as they work to protect the safety and security of all Canadians.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the men and women in law enforcement across the country for the brave work they do.
Out thoughts and prayers are with Heather and their three sons as they deal with this tragic loss. God bless.
