Statement by NDP leader Tom Mulcair on September 11

It is with great sadness that we remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and the innocent victims of these attacks, including 24 Canadians. Our thoughts are with all those who lost a loved one that day.

We salute the courage and determination of the first responders and acknowledge the compassion of those who extended a hand to our American neighbours in these tragic circumstances.

This sad anniversary reminds us how important it is to continue our efforts to create a better world where tolerance and solidarity triumph over hatred and division.
