Replying to Judy A. Sgro (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, Canada’s hearts are broken at the loss of two of our frontline police officers, two brave individuals who gave their lives protecting our communities. Our frontline officers put themselves in harm’s way every single day to keep us all safe, and this tragedy is being deeply felt across the entire policing community and by all Canadians. Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety speak to the courage and sacrifice of these two officers?”
