These three young men came together as friends with ambitions of great success, they loved the land in which they had such a privilege to live, they embraced the challenges of the North and stood proud as sons of Labrador.

Today, the people of Labrador remember them as strong, courageous and adventurous young men, who had achieved that success in their college education and in the many friends and family that surrounded them. As Labradorians mourn the loss of these young men I ask my colleagues in the House of Assembly to join with me in asking you, Mr. Speaker, to send our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to each of these families.

I ask my colleagues to pray for their families as the recovery efforts continue.
