Mr. Speaker, today is the four-year anniversary of the atrocity at the Quebec City mosque.
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I want to honour the memory of the six men whose lives were stolen for the sole reason that they were Muslim. We stand with their loved ones, their families, the wounded and everyone who was there at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec on that dark January 29.
I want to stress that every Quebecker must be able to practise their religion freely and without fear if they so choose.
I want the Muslim community of Quebec, and of Quebec City specifically, to know that they can count on all of us as allies to ensure that such violence never happens again.
Our thoughts are with you today and in the future.
