Statement from MP Mark Strahl on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

I am profoundly saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. For over 70 years, Her Majesty served the Commonwealth and Canada with grace, dignity and strength.

I remember being filled with emotion and having trouble getting through the words the first time I signed the roll as a Member of Parliament, and swore the oath, promising to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second.

It was truly an honour to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty. She was always honourable and faithful to Canada. This is truly a sad day. There will never be another like her.

May She Rest In Peace.

God Save the King.
