Mr. Speaker, we are all heartbroken by the horrific attack at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.
No parent should ever have to experience the loss of a child. I want to join members of the House in sharing my grief for the nine lives lost in Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday, and to pray for the quick recovery of the injured survivors. I also want to thank the first responders for their professionalism, which doubtlessly saved many lives.
As the people of Tumbler Ridge feel the weight of their heavy loss, I want them to know that the House and this nation stand with them.
