Conservative
“A public servant has died. I am giving the floor to the Prime Minister so he can offer condolences to her family.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, there are times in Canada’s national life when families experience terrible tragedies. The Prime Minister has just brought one of those tragedies to my attention. He would like to speak on behalf of all Canadians to offer his condolences to a treasured member of the public service who tragically lost her life. I would invite him to stand in his place and share his love, affection and prayers with the family.
