“Four Canadian soldiers died at CFB Wainwright on Saturday. Others were hurt. I want their families and all military personnel to know we support them in their grief.”
“Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, four Canadian soldiers tragically lost their lives at CFB Wainwright: Sergeant Morgan Wong, Private Shaun Farrell, Private Aidan Goulding and Private Hayden Lykkemark. Four lives and four families are forever changed. Across Canada, military families watched the news, desperately waiting for a call or a message of just four words: “I am okay, mom.” For some, that message never came. For those whose loved ones are safe, relief is accompanied by heartbreak for the families who were not so fortunate. Across our country, Canadians are praying for the recovery of those injured and for the families keeping vigil at their hospital bedside. I want all military families to know that we share in their grief and that they are not alone. I want all service personnel across the country who are mourning this loss to know that we are holding them in our thoughts. I stand with them in their grief in the difficult days ahead and always. Lest we forget.”
