Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer our respects on the death of a courageous and honourable Canadian, RCMP Constable David Wynn.
Constable Wynn was shot in the line of duty as he tried to apprehend a criminal in St. Albert, Alberta. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries last week.
All of us in this place know the bravery of the men and women who work to protect us. My whole life, I have been fortunate to see first-hand the selflessness of the RCMP in times of crisis, and I am reminded of it today.
Constable Wynn's wife, Shelly, said that the RCMP's recent support had been unbelievable. I rise today to say that she and her three boys have the support of the entire House, and of all Canadians. We stand with them, and we will never forget his sacrifice.
