Statement by the Prime Minister
September 30, 1999
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today expressed his sadness on the news of the earthquake that struck Mexico:
"Few things on earth can compare with the anxiety and fear that accompany an earthquake. So the thoughts of all Canadians are with the people of Mexico as they attempt to assess the extent of the disaster and restore order to their lives.
Of course, no words can ever capture the grief of those who are dealing with the of death of family and loved ones, with the sudden shattering of their lives. But we hope that they can take some small comfort in the knowledge that we are saying special prayers of strength and peace for them."
