Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that I rise in the House. This morning, we were horrified to learn about the tragic events that had unfolded in the community of Bourget, in my riding. Every time there is a shooting, we always say to ourselves that such a thing would never happen in our own community, that these things only happen somewhere else. Sadly, this morning, one police officer lost his life and two others were injured. I cannot stop thinking about Sergeant Mueller's family. I cannot stop thinking about those officers who had to deliver the news to Sergeant Mueller's family. I cannot stop thinking about those officers who were injured, and I cannot stop thinking about the OPP officers who lost a colleague. The next few days, weeks, months and years will be hard on our community, but especially on our local police officers. My deepest condolences go to Sergeant Mueller's family, and I wish a speedy recovery to the injured officers. Let us never forget that every day police officers are putting their lives in danger to protect our communities. I want to thank all the police officers and the first responders who assisted with this morning's tragic events. Thank you to our police officers from the bottom of my heart.
