Mr. Speaker, I stand today to share thoughts and heartfelt prayers for our American friends and neighbours in the wake of yesterday's senseless and horrific act of violence in Sutherland Springs. We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those killed, and we wish a speedy recovery to all those harmed.
That this attack occurred in a place of worship, a place of safety and peace, is beyond appalling.
We stand united with our friends and allies in the United States as we have always done, and as we will always do, in their time of mourning.
