Statement made on 06 December 2011 by Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette
Hon. Céline Hervieux-Payette:
Honourable senators, I rise today to remind senators of a tragic event that took place 22 years ago, the murder of our young women at École Polytechnique.
Instead of speaking about these women, I would like us to rise and observe one minute of silence in their honour.
Honourable senators then stood in silent tribute.
