Singh concluded his message by wishing those injured in the attack a “speedy recovery” and expressing his gratitude for the responders who were first on the scene.
It was a sentiment shared by the prime minister, who also posted his condolences via Twitter on Sunday morning.
Their messages come just hours after a man was arrested in connection with the attack, which left two people dead from stab wounds and five more injured.
The suspect was reportedly wearing a medieval costume and carrying a sword at the time of the incident.
A tweet from Quebec City police indicated that the Halloween-night attack was of a personal nature.
