Mr. Speaker, tomorrow police officers from across North America will gather in Moncton, New Brunswick, to say their good-byes to three fallen members of the RCMP, good-byes that are being said way too early in life, goodbyes that cannot be explained. The police community is tight-knit, and when something like this happens, it stirs strong emotions in each and every one of us. The day will be filled with many tears. As a retired member of the RCMP, it stirs up memories that I will never forget.
To the families of Constable Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Constable Douglas James Larche, and Constable David Ross, we will always be with them. Canadians will hold them in their thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, and months to come. God bless each and every one of them.
