Message from Her Masjesty The Queen following
the train crash in Quebec 

OTTAWA—As governor general of Canada, I wanted to share a message addressed to all Canadians from Her Majesty The Queen following the tragedy in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec.

“It was with profound sadness that I learned of the tragic events that have befallen the town of Lac-Mégantic.  The loss of life and livelihoods has shocked us all.  Prince Philip joins me in hoping that in time it will be possible to rebuild both the property and the lives of those who have been affected.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.”
