Chairperson, I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes the devastating mudslide which hit Zhouqu, northwest of China's Gansu province, last week following torrential rain overnight, burying various houses and crushing buildings;
(2) further notes that over 1 248 people have died and more than 600 people are reported missing; and
(3) conveys its deepest sympathy and condolences to the government and people of China over the loss of life and devastation caused by the severe mudslide.
Agreed to.
