Speaker of the Senate
Speaker's Statement – Attack on the Parliament of the United Kingdom
Honourable senators, I would like to take a moment to mark last week's tragic and senseless attack in London.
Four people, including a police officer protecting Parliament, were killed and still so many others injured and affected.
I know we all stand together with our colleagues in the British Parliament and with the people of the United Kingdom. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who have died and those who were injured and affected by this shameful, senseless attack.
I now invite all honourable senators to rise and observe one minute of silence in memory of the victims and in solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom.
