L'ISLE-VERTE,
Que. - The owner of a Quebec seniors' residence that burned to the
ground offered his condolences to the victims Sunday.Speaking to a
throng of reporters outside the church in L'Isle-Verte, Roch Bernier
said it was not the right time to say whether he would rebuild the
residence.He said the mass, attended by more than 1,000 people, was a day for the victims, the missing and residents of the town.
Bernier received a standing ovation as he stood up to speak at the mass."What you're living inside, we are living it inside as well," he told the gathering, which included Premier Pauline Marois and Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard."We will try to find the strength to get through this."A more formal commemorative ceremony has been scheduled for this coming Saturday. That event will feature more dignitaries.Sunday was a chance for the tiny Quebec village to voice its collective grief, with priest Gilles Frigon calling it ''a first step toward healing."Meanwhile, authorities said there was no change in the number of victims. Ten people have been confirmed dead and 22 others are missing and presumed dead after Thursday's blaze at the Residence du Havre.Searches were hampered Sunday by bitter cold, poor visibility, blowing snow and winds up to 90 km-h, provincial police Lt. Guy Lapointe told a news conference.Marois arrived in L'Isle-Verte on Sunday to see first-hand the results of the fatal fire, cutting short a trip to Europe to deliver condolences in the village of about 1,500.The premier called the brutal blaze "unacceptable" and said she hopes such a tragedy never repeats.She told a news conference that everything is being done to provide support for those who survived the fire and to give closure to those still awaiting word on their loved ones.Marois met with Mayor Ursule Theriault and aid workers and had a look at the rubble herself.The premier said she wants to see the results of the various investigations into the blaze before rushing to judgment on a solution."We will wait for the inquiry because now we don't have the results of this evaluation and examination," Marois said. "After that, we will see if there are some new rules to adopt."Marois said a working committee has been in place for one year studying a number of issues, including whether mandatory sprinklers are necessary in buildings such as the Residence du Havre."If they recommend to us to change the rules, to change the laws and implement (mandatory) sprinklers, we will do that," Marois said.Marois applauded the efforts of the police, firefighters and other first responders."For the people who are working on these situations, it's not easy to do that, so I want to say 'thank you very much'," she said.The coroner's office formally identified a third victim on Sunday — Louis-Philippe Roy, 89.

L'ISLE-VERTE, Quebec (Reuters) - Quebec Premier Pauline Marois on
Sunday said a fatal fire in a seniors' residence was "unacceptable" but
stopped short of saying her government would make sprinklers mandatory
in homes for the elderly."These are events we very much don't want to happen, and so we have
to do everything possible to make sure they don't happen again," she
told reporters after arriving in town..Authorities fear 32 people died early on Thursday when fire ripped
through the Residence du Havre in L'Isle-Verte, a town of 1,500 people
some 230 km (140 miles) northeast of Quebec City in eastern Canada.
Marois later joined town residents at a private memorial service at the town's simple stone church.
Roch Bernier, co-owner of the residence, greeted the congregation somberly and was given a standing ovation."I come to you with a heart full of emotion and at the same time enormous suffering," he told the mourners, saying he considered the residents to be part of his family.Bernier also called on people not to look for blame."Let us find out what we can to do to help each other," he said before returning to his seat, barely able to choke back tears.A larger public mass is due to be held in the town on February 1. A spokesman for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper did not immediately respond when asked whether Harper would attend."My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of the terrible fire in L'Isle-Verte," Harper said in a statement on Twitter.Despite media reports that a cigarette might have ignited the blaze, police say they still do not know the cause.Only part of the residence was equipped with sprinklers. Quebec law does not require sprinkler systems in residences where the occupants have some mobility.
Premier Marois said she would wait for the results of an inquiry into the blaze and the report of a committee examining the question of sprinklers before deciding what to do next."If they recommend to change the rules and change the law and implement sprinklers, we will do it ... but we will take the time to do that very well and not do it (as) an emergency," she said, speaking in English. Police say it could take months to find the cause.Earlier in the day, high winds and driving snow forced Quebec police to briefly suspend their search for bodies in the ice-clad ruins of the three-storey wooden residence.Specialist teams at the fire site had worked through the night, using steam and a machine blowing hot air to melt ice that in some places was 2 feet thick - a result of the large amounts of water used to put out the fire.Ten bodies have been recovered and 22 people are still missing."It's a terrible tragedy. But we have to keep going, one step at a time," said Marco Gagnon as he helped customers at a grocery story carry their bags out into the wind."It's going to leave a big hole in the village. That's 2 percent of the population," he told Reuters.Most of the 50 or so residents were over 85, and many needed to use wheelchairs or walkers, town officials said.
TOO EARLY TO APPORTION BLAME, SAYS QUEBEC PREMIER.
Grocery store owner Christian Morin paused after mopping the floor to reflect on two of his relatives who perished - an 82-year-old aunt and an uncle in his early 90s."What frustrates me is these people went to finish their days in peace, but to finish in this way ...," he said, his voice trailing off.His aunt was able to walk and lived on the ground floor but still died in the blaze, which firefighters say was fanned by unusually high winds.Marois cautioned against trying to apportion blame."We have to be very careful at this point not to draw conclusions, not to pass judgments. Wait for the inquiry to finish. Rumors don't help anyone, or blaming this or that person. It's not the time for that," she said.Town officials and residents interviewed by reporters have said the residence was clean and appeared to be well run. The residence says on its website that it won provincial awards for good service in 2004 and 2006.The disaster looks set to be the second-worst to hit a Canadian seniors' home after a 1969 fire in Quebec that killed 54 people.In July 2013, a runaway tanker train carrying light crude from North Dakota's Bakken region derailed and exploded in the heart of the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, killing 47.(Writing by David Ljunggren; Editing by Lisa Shumaker, Jeffrey Hodgson, Sophie Hares and Jonathan Oatis)
