Mr. Speaker, today, when Quebec parents heard what had happened in Laval, their hearts stopped. Children are what we, as mothers and fathers, but also as a society, hold most dear. We now know that a bus drove into a day care, taking the lives of two children and injuring six others. We know that the driver has been arrested, but now is not the time to speculate. Whatever the explanation may be, now is the time to express our sympathy and tell the parents, the people of Laval, but also all the children who will be affected by this tragedy, to stay strong. On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I offer my deepest condolences to the parents of the victims. We sincerely hope that there will be good news for the injured children and their families. Our hearts go out to all the parents, children and all the staff at the Garderie éducative Ste-Rose. We thank the first responders, the medical staff and all those who are mobilizing in support of the little ones. Today, the Quebec nation is in mourning, and our hearts go out to the people of Laval.
