💬 Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that course of action. Is there any objection? There is none.
I move, That this House express its sympathy for the family, friends, and colleagues of British member of Parliament Jo Cox, who was attacked and killed as she went about her duties as a local member of Parliament on 17 June, and pass condolences and solidarity to t 1he British Parliament. Jo Cox was a friend of mine and a colleague. She was the best of what we all want elected representatives to be.
