Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague for raising today's news, which I heard probably about an hour ago, of Murray Sinclair's passing. He was a wonderful Canadian and gentleman who served in the Senate for a couple of years and played instrumental roles in the efforts of our country when it comes to reconciliation and advancing the awareness of the challenges facing indigenous Canadians in this country. He was a calm, cool and collected voice for millions of people. He was widely respected, and rightfully so.
I would echo what the member has said in offering my condolences to Murray Sinclair's family during this difficult time. May they take some comfort during in knowing that he was an exceptional Canadian, one who made us proud and made a difference in this country.
