 As we remember British Columbians, let me begin by speaking to the recent tragedy in Quebec City. Let us speak in one voice to express our condolences, condemn the hatred and violence. Let us reaffirm who we are as Canadians. I want to thank the Imam for his prayers. First responders placed themselves in harm's way to help others. This year an entire nation mourned Constable Sarah Beckett who lost her life in the line of duty. We lost those who represented British Columbians in Ottawa or in this legislature Patrick Crofton, Len Marchand, Frederick King, Samuel Bolth, Don Phillips and John Narnie. And those who inspired us, like Rolly Fox, John Young, Stanley Burke, Brittany Singh Juhal, William Essin, W.P. Concella, Harold Mann, Vic Rapp, Don Chiu-Jones, excuse me, Don Co-Jones, Dave Broadfoot and Joe Y. And those who helped build vibrant communities such as Robin Hood, Murray Newman, Bing Tom, Jim Monroe, Dr. Raj Baines, David Strangeway and David Holmberg. British Columbia lost First Nation leaders like Philomena Alphonse, Donald Moses, Kathleen Green, Nelson Kittler, Albin Michael, Norman Tate, Marjorie McRae, Daphne Ogig, Rocky Wilson, Joseph Bartleman, Arthur Manuel, David Ball, Bob and Ollie Chitaik. Today a service is held for Orsa Marie Douglas, the last living direct descendant of Sir James Douglas, one of the key founding fathers of our great province. Finally, some of our co-workers and friends who worked for the legislature, John Crawford, Gary Miller and Deb Harton. This year we celebrate Canada's 150th year. Let us remember the women and men who gave so much to build our country and province.
