                               RESOLUTION


 
  Extending sympathy and condolences to the families of the Canadian 
soldiers who were killed and the Canadian soldiers who were wounded on 
   April 18, 2002, in Afghanistan, and to all of the Canadian people.

Whereas United States and Canadian military forces have fought side by side in 
        conflicts since the World War I;
Whereas the fighting men and women of Canada have always proved themselves to be 
        brave and courageous warriors;
Whereas the Canadian forces are currently fighting alongside United States and 
        European troops in the hunt for the remnants of Osama bin Laden's 
        terrorist organization, al Qaeda, and Afghanistan's former ruling 
        militia, the Taliban;
Whereas the Canadian soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian 
        Light Infantry Battle Group, have been in Afghanistan since late January 
        2002, as part of Operation Apollo, and have distinguished themselves for 
        their heroism and professionalism; and
Whereas despite this tragic incident, the Canadian Army is focusing on the task 
        at hand and is still fully engaged in its mission in Afghanistan: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) expresses sorrow for the loss of life and wounding of 
        Canadian servicemen in Afghanistan;
            (2) offers sympathy and condolences to the families of the 
        Canadian soldiers who were killed and the Canadian soldiers who 
        were wounded on April 18, 2002, in Afghanistan, and to all of 
        the Canadian people;
            (3) affirms that the centuries-old bond between the 
        Canadian and American peoples and their Armed Forces remains 
        solid; and
            (4) praises the performance of Canadian servicemen in 
        Afghanistan for their heroism and professionalism.
