Canada's Parliament

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the Cirillo family, and a speedy recovery to Constable Son. I feel tremendous gratitude to the staff that keeps us safe here on the Hill. Thank you. Let us all respond to this tragic event with a renewed commitment to Canadian values: tolerance, love and respect for all peoples of the world. Let us reject fear, racism, and hate.

And let Parliament Hill, this symbol of what we stand for as a nation, remain an active representation of our civil liberties and commitment to free speech: a place for democracy, for peaceful protest, for celebrations, and yes, for soccer, picnics and yoga.

Peace on Earth.
