Statement by Nycole Turmel on the death of Master Corporal Byron Greff in Afghanistan

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Master Cpl. Byron Greff, who was among the 13 NATO troops killed this morning in an attack in Kabul.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and loved ones of this brave soldier who was taken from us too soon.

On behalf of all New Democrats, I wish to extend my condolences to this soldier's family, and to the men and women of the Canadian forces who are mourning the loss of their fellow soldier. Master Cpl. Greff made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country and he will never be forgotten.
