Mr. Speaker, today in Guelph, Constable Jennifer Kovach was laid to rest. Constable Kovach was killed in the line of duty while responding to a call for back-up from a fellow officer in trouble. We know that police officers put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our streets and communities safe.
Being a former police officer and member of the RCMP and having experienced the fatal shootings of two members of my detachment, I thank the police officers from across Canada who put themselves in harm's way daily to protect us. Can the Minister of Public Safety please comment on this tragic incident?
