Speaker’s Statements

Day of Mourning for Workers

The Speaker : Members, first of all, thank you so much, member for Prince George–Mackenzie, for

leading the House in prayer, remembering those who never came back home, going to

work, and those who are injured and have never recovered from those injuries.

Violent Incident at

Lapu-Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver

The Speaker : At the same time, I want to talk about the tragedy that happened on Saturday.

Thousands of people were there, got together, enjoying their day, celebrating culture,

celebrating their traditions, human rights, freedom, everything. Many of us were there

during the day.

And then that tragedy happened in the evening. We have to be strong. We have to reach

out to those families, victims, their loved ones to make sure they understand that

they are not alone. We’ll be with them. We’ll do everything that we can do to support

them.

I request all the members rise in a moment of silence, remembering all of them.

[The House observed a moment of silence.]
