VIDEO: MPs observe moment of silence for slain officers

'Their incredible courage and their commitment to duty and service will not be forgotten by the grateful residents of Bradford West Gwillimbury, Innisfil, and all Canadians,' said MP

York-Simcoe MP Scot Davidson spoke in the House of Commons on Monday of the sacrifice made by South Simcoe Police constables Morgan Russell and Devon Northrup who were tragically killed in the line of duty last week while attending a disturbance call in Innisfil.

Members of Parliament held a moment of silence to honour the officers' bravery and sacrifice. 

The join funerals will be held later this week in Barrie where thousands of police officers and other emergency personnel from across the nation are expected to attend. 

Members of the public are invited to watch the funeral procession as it travels from Adams Funeral Home and Cremation Services, located at 445 St. Vincent St., and Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Homes, at 30 Worsley St., to Sadlon Arena in south-end Barrie.

Broadcast information will also be made in the coming days.
