Item 22, third reading of bills. I have a short statement I'd like to make.
I thought it was appropriate today, as we end this week, if I could take this opportunity to express the Legislative Assembly's appreciation for the hard work of all those who were involved with the opening of the new building.
---Applause
I would like to thank the Management and Services Board who had many, many meetings of the last six months on the many issues that came out of the opening of the new building.
One person in particular, Sandy Osborne, who was our coordinator, deserves special mention. She's worked very, very hard for the last six months on this event.
---Applause
I think because of all the hard work, I'll name a number of the people who acted as committee chairpersons: Denise Burlingame, Brad Whitehead, Terri Boldt, John Colford, Wally Wolfe, Brian Lyons, Allan Dowrey, Bertha Rabesca, Pat Yasinowski, Karen Humphrey, Marc Whitford and Martin Vickers. They had dozens of other volunteers working with them.
The Clerk and the Legislative Assembly staff, the interpreters deserve our appreciation not only for the work during the last six months, but all the work that's gone into this going back to when the decision was made in 1989. To all of them, a very, very warm thank you.
---Applause
Item 23, Mr. Clerk, orders of the day. Point of order, Mr. Patterson.
