Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I’m going to start with first and most important visitor to recognize, and I’m going to start with David Hamilton, the first Clerk here. I’ve known David so long. I remember when we were both the same height and we both had lots of hair. It’s been a long time from those days in Fort Simpson. I’ve known him a long time, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him at the old Ledge many years ago in many capacities. To him, I’m very grateful for always being a mentor to me.
In the gallery we have many people. They’ve already been mentioned, but I think they certainly deserve further mention, Christopher Robb of UNICO Contracting, Sarah Johnson in the middle there, and Chris Johnston with the Northern Safety Association.
As Mr. Ramsay had mentioned, I too wish to recognize Henry Zoe and also former Premier Floyd Roland. The last thing I’d like to say is former Premier Roland does not get enough credit for the bold action he took by signing that original AIP that is helping bring the devolution train home, and I never miss the chance to remind people it was that bold signature that got it finally going. Although Premier McLeod will get the credit of seeing the train come home, I will say Floyd Roland deserves a lot of credit.
