Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as seniors' week draws to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the time and effort that Helen Gruben has contributed towards the seniors' society as a representative of the Delta area. Ms. Gruben has served now for four years on the board and has assisted, I am sure, with many decisions and recommendations to the government as to ways to improve services to our seniors, as well as ways to improve our social programs overall. Mr. Speaker, I know that Ms. Gruben has spent many days travelling to meetings that have taken her away from home and I would like to, on behalf of my constituents, thank her for all the time that she spent on senior society issues and bringing back senior society concerns and issues to the boards on behalf of the seniors in my riding. I would personally like to thank Ms. Gruben for all her time and effort, Mr. Speaker.
In closing, Mr. Speaker, I would just like to take the opportunity to wish my daughter Shannon a happy birthday for today and my son Warren a happy birthday for today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
