SPEAKER'S STATEMENT
Honourable senators, let us take a moment to reflect upon the tragic attack that took place in London, Ontario, this past Sunday, and that claimed the lives of four individuals, and left a young nine-year old family member seriously injured.
I know all senators will join with me to stand together in solidarity with the Muslim community against such acts of hate. We offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of those who have died, and we wish a swift recovery to the young boy injured in this atrocity.
I now invite all honourable senators to rise and observe one minute of silence in memory of the victims.
The Senate observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the attack in London, Ontario.
