OTTAWA—It is with great sadness that my wife, Sharon, and I have learned of the death, in Afghanistan, of Master Corporal Francis Roy from the Canadian Special Operations Regiment based in Petawawa, Ontario.
As commander-in-chief, I mourn the loss of this member of the Canadian Forces and would like his loved ones and comrades to know that I admire the work that he did to fulfill the Canadian mission in Afghanistan.
On behalf of my wife and all Canadians, I extend my deepest condolences to the family, the friends and the brothers and sisters-in-arms of Master Corporal Roy. Our thoughts are with you all in this difficult time.
