QUÉBEC — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has met with the families of six men who were killed at a Quebec City mosque, days before the anniversary of the 2017 attack.
Trudeau met in the basement of the mosque on Saturday evening with men, women and children whose relatives were victims of the slayings, pausing to speak with each of them individually and at times could be seen placing his hand over his heart. Earlier on Saturday afternoon Quebec City’s Muslim community, government officials and others gathered at the Quebec City Armoury to commemorate the victims.
“It's a duty to remember those who lost their lives in an unjust and intolerable way,” he said in an interview Saturday, adding that the killings were the result of ignorance.
