Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to recognize a couple of constituents of mine in the gallery today. A very well-known northerner and a gentleman who has been associated with seniors for a long time is now the president of the Hay River Seniors' Society, Mr. Lloyd Brunes.

Also, another constituent of mine and one that is no stranger around the Legislative Assembly and was my campaign manager in the election, Dawna O'Brien.

I would also like to recognize the mayor of Hay River in the audience today, Ms. Diana Ehman.
