Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on the weekend, I, along with Mr. Henry and many other people, joined to celebrate with friends and families of Janice and Tim on their wedding. This wedding was a very joyous occasion for the new couple beginning a new life together. I would like to congratulate Janice and Tim on behalf of my family.
Mr. Speaker, I also wanted to mention the tragedy that happened during this wedding day where two people were in the accident in which the plane went down. One of the victims was the aunt to the bride, who is now in hospital and is in good medical hands, as well as in the hands of God. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the people who helped in the rescue that occurred. I would like to recognize the people who performed very professionally and are all volunteers in the Fort Simpson area; they should be recognized. They are members of the volunteer firefighters, the ambulance personnel, helicopter pilots. There was the Fort Simpson Hospital staff, the doctor and especially the nurse who went to the crash site and took the victims out to Edmonton.
Mr. Speaker, it is impressive that there was volunteer rescue help. It is good to know that we have people in the communities who are trained and ready to jump into emergency situations and function on a professional level. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
