Mr. Speaker, I rise in the chamber heartbroken and with profound sadness. The Brampton community is mourning an unimaginable tragedy. Five family members, Harinder Kaur, Gurjit Kaur Grewal, Bantvir Singh Deol, Anudeep Kaur and a baby boy, lost their lives in a devastating house fire. This heartbreaking loss has shaken families across Brampton and far beyond.
The funeral service is taking place at Brampton Funeral Home, followed by a religious ritual at a gurdwara in Brampton West. I extend my deepest and heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of the victims, and I urge Canadians to keep this family in their thoughts and prayers.
As we enter the winter season, I urge everyone to check their carbon monoxide detectors, smoke alarms and home ventilation system to help prevent tragedies like this and to protect our families and our homes.
May God bless the victims, and may their souls rest in peace.
