We
of a sitting in Parliament, and it will be a special sitting.
You are going to see the Speaker's Parade walk down
those very same halls where yesterday
were filled with gunfire.
And here is the Speaker's Parade right now.
The man carrying the mace is the Sergeant-at-Arms,
Kevin Vickers, surrounded by his security team.
He does this every day, carrying the mace.
Those people who think it's a ceremonial position
now know it is not. Kevin Vickers...
[applause]
Let's listen to the applause he's getting now
as he's now hailed as a hero for his activities yesterday.
[applause]
Kevin Vickers is widely seen as a hero yesterday.
He was the man reportedly who, alongside another officer,
shot and killed the suspect.
It was a day that we've never seen on Parliament Hill,
Kevin Vickers realized the heel he is charged with protecting
was under grave attack; he found his weapon in his office,
and down some of these very halls where he's walking now,
he took off that hat, but he was still in
his ceremonial garb as you see it there.
He took his weapon, and he protected parliament.
What we're going to see is him
as he walks into parliament now. Let's listen in
to the applause that he's getting right now.
[applause]
[applause and cheering]
[applause]
[applause continues]
A long tribute to the Sergeant-at-Arms
who MPs regard as a hero for gunning down the suspect.
And applause, also, for his entire security team.
