“I want to send my condolences to the family of Constable Tarun Bali. He was a dedicated police officer from my riding who died in the line of duty.”

“Mr. Speaker, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Constable Tarun Bali, who passed away tragically in the line of duty in northern Ontario. Constable Bali was a member of the Dufferin OPP in my home riding of Dufferin—Caledon. I know the men and women who serve in the Dufferin OPP. They are incredibly dedicated, community-oriented officers. Constable Bali was described by his colleagues as a man of bravery, dedication and incredible community service. Police officers come under incredible scrutiny and criticism these days, yet they put on the uniform every day, knowing that they might not come home to their loved ones. I want Constable Bali’s family to know that the community of Dufferin—Caledon will never forget his service and his sacrifice for our community.”
