During the midnight shift he was found in distress and, in spite of all efforts to assist him, emergency personnel pronounced him dead shortly after their arrival.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61861\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is imperative for our customs officers to be safe at all times while protecting our Canadian borders. Every day we are reminded of the dangers our frontline workers face. They confront the most dangerous conditions putting their lives on the line to protect ours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61862\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am proud to say that the new Canadian government has responded with initiatives to strengthen our border security. We have committed $101 million over the next two years to provide arms to all officers, proper training and abolition of work-alone conditions like that of Officer Angel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61863\" data-originallang=\"en\">We believe in secure, efficient borders and we thank these men and women for their courage, bravery and hard work protecting our communities.</p>",

Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 trouv\u00e9 en d\u00e9tresse au milieu de la nuit et, en d\u00e9pit des efforts d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s pour l'aider, le personnel d'urgence a constat\u00e9 son d\u00e9c\u00e8s peu apr\u00e8s son arriv\u00e9e sur les lieux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61861\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est imp\u00e9ratif d'assurer \u00e0 tout moment la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des douaniers qui prot\u00e8gent les fronti\u00e8res canadiennes. Chaque jour, nous sommes mis au fait des dangers auxquels sont confront\u00e9s nos travailleurs de premi\u00e8re ligne.

Ainsi, nous investirons 101 millions de dollars au cours des deux prochaines ann\u00e9es pour armer tous les douaniers et leur offrir l'entra\u00eenement dont ils ont besoin, ainsi que pour faire en sorte que plus personne ne travaille en solitaire comme M. Angel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61863\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous croyons en des fronti\u00e8res s\u00fbres et efficaces, et nous remercions ces hommes et ces femmes pour leur courage, leur bravoure et leur travail acharn\u00e9 dans le but de prot\u00e9ger nos collectivit\u00e9s.</p>"
