Mr. Speaker, I am heartbroken in hearing of the passing of Officer Marc Pinizzotto. I was able to connect with the Toronto Police chief, the Toronto Police Association and the mayor of the city of Toronto, and I express our profound grief and condolences to the people of Toronto and all those who serve on the front lines.
Today is a day for all of us to come together and cherish those who serve us each and every day, risking their lives. To the families who sacrifice every day and hope that their family member will come home, I pray for them. I pray for all those in law enforcement and pray that Constable Pinizzotto's family have the peace they need to get through this very difficult time.
