“Two police officers died while protecting our communities. I want the parliamentary secretary to speak about their courage and sacrifice.”
Official Hansard

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?

“Two police officers were killed on the job recently. I want to honor them and thank all police officers for keeping us safe.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I was heartbroken to learn about Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty yesterday. My heart is with his family and loved ones. With an 18-year stellar record, Marc was known as someone who was courageous and respected, and a man who put others before himself. His death comes only days after OPP Constable Tarun Bali was also killed in the line of duty. Mr. Bali was known as someone who just wanted to help others. To all our frontline officers, we thank for them work they do each and every day to keep all Canadians safe. We appreciate their service.
