“Four Canadian soldiers died and 39 were injured in a tragedy at CFB Wainwright. I offer my condolences to their families and thank the medical workers and first responders who helped. I ask Canadians to donate blood to help, and to keep supporting these families and workers long after today.”

“Mr. Speaker, the tragedy at CFB Wainwright has shaken Albertans and Canadians. Sergeant Morgan Wong and Privates Shaun Farrell, Aidan Goulding and Hayden Lykkemark lost their lives in service to Canada, and 39 Canadian Armed Forces members were injured. My deepest condolences go to their loved ones and their fellow soldiers. Military and civilian first responders, paramedics, nurses and medical teams across our region answered the call without hesitation. For military families and frontline workers, all whose lives changed forever, the impact will be felt for years to come. In the face of such loss, Canadians are asking how they can help. One real way is to donate blood, so if able, please give now and in the weeks ahead. For the families who lost, the injured who face a long road to recovery and the first responders who came to help, this tragedy does not end when the headlines fade and the politicians move on. Our gratitude must extend beyond words, and our real support must endure long after today.”
