Mr. Speaker, as the mother of two serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, I stand today heartbroken at the news of last Friday’s tragic deaths of four officer cadets at the Royal Military College in Kingston. This senseless accident has shaken our community to the core with the deaths of Officer Cadet Jack Hogarth, Officer Cadet Andrei Honciu, Officer Cadet Broden Murphy and Officer Cadet Andrés Salek. These fourth-year Royal Military College cadets were going to graduate in just three weeks and then start their official military careers. They served their country with dignity and pride. I invite their classmates to continue their legacies. I would like the families of officer cadets Hogarth, Honciu, Murphy and Salek to know that their military family and all Canadians mourn the loss of their sons. I ask my fellow members of Parliament to join me in honouring their service to Canada.

Mr. Speaker, early Friday morning, four cadets at the Royal Military College died in a tragic accident when the vehicle they were in entered the water off Point Frederick. Fourth-year officer cadets Jack Hogarth, Andrei Honciu, Broden Murphy and Andrés Salek all voluntarily joined the Canadian Armed Forces understanding that they may be required to make the ultimate sacrifice in service to Canada. Losing a member of the Canadian Armed Forces is never easy to accept for family and friends, but losing someone in an accident just a few short weeks before graduation is that much harder. I do not know the personal details of all the families, although Officer Cadet Broden Murphy was the son of a fellow class of 1997 classmate of mine, Major Dave Murphy, and his wife, Stephanie. I cannot imagine the pain and loss they and all the families are currently feeling. On behalf of all members of the House, I offer Dave, Stephanie, and all the families and friends of Jack, Andrei, Broden and Andrés, my deepest condolences and sympathy. I ask all members and all Canadians to keep them all in their thoughts and prayers. “Truth. Duty. Valour.” Lest we forget.
