 think it would be an understatement to say that we are all shaken by what happened in Abbotsford as a mother of a 15 year old who also goes to school every day. We all think about every day each of us as parents will often we hug our children we think about how much we love them and every once in a while we also think about what it would be like to lose them and I think it's fair to say that for any parent the loss of a child is the most frightening prospect and absolutely the most painful thing that can happen in a parent's life and so I'm shaken I'm shocked I think that that would be true of everyone in British Columbia and and certainly every Canadian today knowing what's happened in Abbotsford I will say though that we should be we should feel secure in the knowledge that our schools in this country and in this province are by far some of the safest places for kids to be without question and in Abbotsford one of the reasons that that school remains safe or as safe as it could be despite this tragic and awful attack is the fact that two senior staff stepped in and probably saved a life they thought fast they showed real courage and and one of those children is alive today because of that so I'd like to on behalf of all British Columbians offer our most sincere thanks to those folks at the school who stepped in and and the senior staff the students who stepped in to help I mean I just think it shows incredible courage in the face of something so shocking and last I to end where I started which is to just is to really offer just a heartfelt condolences to the to the parents of these children it is the worst loss a parent anyone can suffer and they're feeling that today
