Ruby Sahota Liberal
“I want us to honour OPP Constable Tarun Bali on the day of his funeral and send our condolences to his family and fellow officers. News reports say the shooters were hired and paid by foreign actors. I am repeating what the media and Toronto's police chief have reported.”
“Mr. Speaker, on the day of his funeral, I ask all members to join me in honouring OPP Constable Tarun Bali, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and in extending our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and fellow officers. We are seeing media reporting in Canada and elsewhere that these shooters were paid for hire, and reports also suggesting that they were paid for by foreign actors. I want to make it clear that my comments were aimed to echo what is being reported on by media and what Toronto Police Chief Demkiw has said and believes is the case.”
