We want to express our condolences to the families and the friends and loved ones of those who perished in the fire and wish a speedy recovery to the one who is still injured. We want to make sure also that this fire is investigated and we, to the extent possible, can make sure that it doesn't happen again. And so I want to encourage all my colleagues to support this important resolution.
