“Canada strongly condemns today’s twin suicide bombings in southern Beirut, Lebanon.

“Such violent extremism is a stark reminder of the grave threat that terrorism poses to the people of Lebanon and the region. We expect that those responsible for this horrendous attack will be brought to justice.

“On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my sincere condolences to the families and friends of those killed and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.”
