Hon. Kevin Sorenson, Member of Parliament for Crowfoot and Minister of State (Finance).
The Honourable Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State (Finance) and Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, this morning issued a statement following Wednesday’s tragic death of Corporal Cirillo and the violence at Ottawa’s Parliament buildings.
“In the midst of dangerous and tragic events yesterday on Parliament Hill, I witnessed some of Canada’s finest men and women in uniform display bravery that did our Nation proud. Many others could have been harmed, but the courage of our first responders kept us safe.”
“My prayers are with the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. Likewise, my sympathies remain with the family and friends of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed earlier this week by an ISIL-inspired terrorist. We will forever remember their sacrifice and willingness to protect us.”
“This week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of attacks we have seen elsewhere around the globe.”
“Together, we will remain vigilant against those at home or abroad who wish to harm us. We live in an increasingly dangerous and uncertain world, but Canada remains strong. Canadians will never be intimidated.”
