PM statement on situation in Chile
12 October 2010
Ottawa, Ontario
We have all watched the ordeal of the Chilean miners and their families, first with horror at their predicament, then with admiration for their courage.Now, this great rescue effort draws to its climax.
We hope and pray that the fears
we have for so long entertained, for so many, will be quickly turned to joyful thanksgiving when those who have been trapped are reunited with their loved ones.
My thoughts and prayers along with those of the Canadian people are with the trapped Chilean miners and the rescue team as they prepare for the final rescue.
We eagerly await news that they have been safely reunited with their families and loved ones.
We are so proud of the Canadians involved in the rescue effort alongside our Chilean friends.
