This has been a sad week for Canada, we have lost 6 people who served us. 2 RCMP and 4 Canadian Forces members. One overseas, 5 here in Canada. Earlier today, we lost 3 men in a training accident in the Atlantic. These men were improving their lifesaving search and rescue skills. Thankfully, they are there to save us when the unexpected occurs. Sadly, the risks of that noble profession took their lives.
