"I just left Port-au-Prince to Ottawa, the heart heavy at the thought of the terrible traffic accident that occurred yesterday evening, at Delmas 33, and who made dozens of victims and wounded.
I constantly worry at the sight of all these vehicles visibly in a deplorable state that circulate without verification, without control in the country and which constitute daily a real public danger.
My most heartfelt thoughts are with the families burdened by the mourning as well as all wounded to whom I wish the most speedy recovery."
