Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, I’m very pleased to recognize my wife and partner of 40-plus years, Melody.

I also want to recognize my Yellowknife South constituent, Lona Hegeman, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t recognize a long-time hockey builder and supporter and member of the Education Hall of Fame, Mr. Ed Jeske. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
