Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I generally speak from prepared notes. I write most of my own speeches. From when I first got elected here, Mr. Miltenberger has always encouraged me to wing it and I am sure it is because he has always wanted me to stand up and say something totally outrageous. I will try not to do that today. Mr. Speaker, perhaps I have missed something here, but Mr. Hamilton is not going to Nunavut is he? Just before I bid farewell to our Nunavut colleagues, I would also to take this opportunity today, since the officers of our table are being honoured here today, to say how much I have appreciated Mr. Hamilton. He must sometimes look at us like a gaggle of geese that he tries to keep in line, and keep in order. I have always said, before getting elected, and since, that who needs elected Members? I am sure Mr. Hamilton could effectively run the whole government with his capable staff, but we are here for effect and appearances as well. To his assistants, Mr. Inch, and Mr. Schauerte, both gentlemen of very high calibre who I have enjoyed working with and being served by. They have been very helpful to us. My first acquaintance with Mr. Inch, I should not say this because this adds to the theory that I have a problem with dressing rooms and not the least of which is at hockey arenas, but one day when I first got elected I was walking along the back hall here. I saw all these doors and I did not know what they were for and I thought, I wonder what is behind this door. I just opened it, and the look on Mr. Inch's face. The clerk's have a change room back there. But everything was all proper
--Laughter
I bet you had forgotten about that. I was just a curious new Member. Anyhow, as I said, Mr. Inch is an absolute gentleman. Mr. Schauerte, I actually had the opportunity to travel with. On a couple of CPA conferences, Mr. Schauerte came along on those and again provided assistance. They say that you can judge a person by the way they treat children and I want say that I have a very special little daughter, and every time she has to come to the Legislature she has to run down and see Mr. Schauerte. Mr. Schauerte has a very nice way with children and he is very kind and very loving to them which I think is a measure of a person. It says a lot for the kind of person he is.
With respect to my Nunavut colleagues, Mr. Speaker, that went fast. Could I seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement please?
