Loss of Polish Leadership in Plane Crash
Mrs. Forsyth: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. April 10, 2010, will be a day that Polish people will never forget. Polish President Kaczynski and many influential Polish leaders perished in a plane crash in Russia. On behalf of our caucus we would like to express our sympathies to the Polish communities.
We wish that we could turn back time and delete this tragic event from our history, but, sadly, we cannot. With time the Polish people will recover from this devastation. Now it’s time for reflection and coming to terms with the pain that we have all recently suffered.
Thousands have gathered in mourning, lining the streets, carrying flowers, candles, and Polish flags in memory of those that were lost in this horrible plane crash. Mr. Speaker, tragedy brings people together, and once again our hearts go out to the family and friends of the Polish people who lost their lives and to those sharing in their loss. Thank you.
