Mr. President,
It is with horror and consternation that I learned of the murderous
bomb attack committed today in Paris. In the name of the Government
of Canada and of the Canadian people, please accept and convey
our most sincere condolences to members of the families and friends
of the victims of this barbarous crime.
I would also like to express the full support of our government
in the fight against terrorism that French authorities have been
carrying out for many years. You can count on Canada's support,
as a committed ally.
Sincerely,
|
