| August 23, 2006 Ottawa, Ontario Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the
following statement on the passing of Corporal David Braun. "On behalf of all
Canadians, I offer condolences to the family and friends of Corporal Braun.
Three other Canadians were injured in this incident, and I extend wishes for
their speedy recovery. "Our country honours this brave soldier, who exemplifies
the best that Canada has to offer. While deeply saddened by his loss, I hope his
family may find some comfort in knowing that Canadians share their sorrow. "We
are proud of Corporal Braun's contribution to our mission in Afghanistan, and of
all our Canadian Forces men and women who soldier on in the name of democratic
values and freedom. "Despite these risks, we are confident in the ability of our
Canadian Forces members and know that they have the skills they need to succeed
in Afghanistan and make a meaningful contribution to the lives of the Afghan
people."
