OTTAWA—It was with great sadness that my husband Jean-Daniel Lafond and I learned of the death of Bombardier Jérémie Ouellet, of the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, stationed at Shilo, in Manitoba.
The mission being carried out by our soldiers in Afghanistan is in many respects a very difficult and stressful one. It is a tremendous challenge. We salute the generosity of our women and men in uniform as we know they face ordeals on a daily basis.
Canadians join with me to offer our sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Bombardier Jérémie Ouellet.
Our hearts are with them as they grieve.
