The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement after learning that the August 17, 2017, terrorist attack in Barcelona claimed the life of a Canadian and injured four others:

“It was with great sadness that I learned today that one Canadian was killed and four others injured during yesterday’s cowardly terrorist attack in Barcelona. Sophie and I offer our condolences to the families and friends in mourning, and hope for a speedy recovery for the injured Canadians.
