Mr. Speaker, Canadian radio lost a good one this month. Ted Farr began his radio career 54 years ago, in 1969. Many remember “Tall Ted” on CKLG's Doc Harris Show. Ted's colleagues have remembered him for being an outstanding coach and mentor. I met Ted at Kelowna's AM 1150, where he led the news team. Ted was dedicated in all that he did. Ted Farr's interviews always got to the heart of the issue; and not just what the news was, but how it affected people in their daily lives. Ted was a dedicated husband and father and a proud grandfather. He championed his kids: his son Jonathan, who sadly predeceased him in 2008; and his daughter Natalie. Grandson Jonathan was Ted's joy and he was so proud of watching him play and grow in lacrosse. Ted and wife Terrie, also known as T&T, celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary on October 1. Ted's own words to Terrie were, “Your love and support for 52 years has been priceless.” I send my deepest condolences to Terrie, Natalie and grandson Jonathan. To quote Ted's favourite expression, “If you couldn't play tomorrow, how hard would you play today?”

Mr. Speaker, our hearts are broken in Sault Ste. Marie. Families have been shattered by intimate partner violence. Children who had a bright future ahead of them, with untold potential, have been lost. To the families and friends of the victims, I send my deepest condolences. To the school community and to the residents of the Soo, I hear in their voices their pain. We will be there for them. It is so important that, as a community, we reach out to our friends, family members, therapists and counsellors in such a time. I would be remiss if I did not recognize the first responders whose lives will be significantly changed for the rest of their lives. We are going to stand together. We will mourn together and we will heal together because, as a community, we will get through these very tragic days in Sault Ste. Marie and Canada. I thank all who have reached out to me and to my community. My heart goes out to the families.

Mr. Speaker, I will answer that question in a moment. I want to begin by sharing a few thoughts about Senator Shugart. It is with incredible sadness that I rise in this place to mourn the loss of our friend and fellow parliamentarian, Senator Ian Shugart. Senator Shugart spent his entire career in the service of others and his contributions have been invaluable. He was an incredible clerk to the current government, and I know he was also a valuable deputy minister to the Leader of the Opposition when he was in government. I offer my deepest condolences to his family, his friends, his Senate colleagues and his former public service colleagues.
