Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It gives me great pleasure today to recognize a long-time friend and well-recognized senior in Yellowknife, Mr. Ed Jeske.

Ed called me the other day and gave me heck for not consulting with him before deciding to retire. I appreciate the fact that I made my decision before I called him. With Mr. Jeske is Vivian Squires, the executive director of the Seniors Society here in Yellowknife. I'd also like to recognize a constituent who's been in the gallery many times over the years that I've been a Member, and that's Ms. Barb Wyness with the UNW. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
