00:00Last night, families lost a sister, a brother, a mother, a father, a son, or a daughter.

00:10Those families are living every family's nightmare. And to them and to the many others who were

00:20injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in the broader Lower Mainland,

00:27Vancouver, I would like to offer my deepest condolences and my wishes for strength and

00:33compassion in this tragic time. I know that I join all Canadians in mourning with you.

00:40I know that Canadians are united with you.

00:44Tudor Canada est avec vous.

00:48The strength and the resilience of the Filipino Canadian community is exemplified by the Tugalog

00:55term by a neon. It captures the Filipino spirit of community, of cooperation, and unity to

01:04achieve a common goal. And it's this spirit upon which we must draw in this incredibly

01:12difficult time. We will comfort the grieving. We will care for each other. We will unite

01:21in common purpose.
