Mr. Speaker, every one of us who has the privilege to sit in this chamber is here because of the hard work, intelligence and love of the staff who support us every day. This past week, the Liberal family lost one of our most valuable members. At the very young age of 36, Trevor Robert Thomas Harrison died in the presence of his beloved wife Kaisha, his wonderful and devoted parents Karen and John and his family. We have lost a colleague and a friend. We are deeply grieved, but we are all the richer for having had him among us for a decade and a half. Over more than 10 years, Trevor has grown and thrived, served and worked, and taught us through his courage and grace as he lived with cancer. Working for members, ministers and the leader's office with the government House leader, Trevor was wise and respectful, good humoured and patient, kind and always optimistic. He was an anchor for his family and friends. He fought the good fight. He finished the race and kept the faith. He will rest in peace and surely be remembered in love.

Mr. Speaker, I want to assure the hon. member that we are very concerned for the well-being of Mr. Graham. Consular officials, both here in Ottawa and in Spain, have taken this very seriously and will continue to advise us as we continue to search for information about his well-being. We will be in contact with his friends and family as well. The minister has asked for a complete understanding of how the department and the embassy have dealt with this situation, and we are happy to report back to the House at a later day.
