Gail Bates and the Oshawa Federal Green Party who like to offer their condolences to the families and friends of the latest two soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of Maj. Yannick Pepin and Cpl. Jean-Francois Drouin during this time. We thank them for their hardwork, dedication and sacrifice representing Canada in helping Afghanistan once again flourish and stand on its own.

Please join us on the Simcoe St. bridge in Oshawa during their repatriation ceremony as we take time to honour these Canadian heroes as we welcome them home on our Highway of Heroes.

Our thoughts are also with the five soldiers injured on Sunday and we wish them a speedy recovery.
