Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Over the years on Halloween, I’ve been trying to give some interesting statements. One year I gave my version of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” and last year I tried to do a theme statement behind the Adam’s Family and I called it the Cat in the Cloud Cabinet Family. So in trying to keep with this theme, this year I’ve used the theme of Monster Mash, so please bear with me.

While I was working in the Ledge late one night, my eye beheld an eerie site. It was the McLeod government’s policies that caused such fright: a tax on schools, taxes with their might.

Suddenly, to my eyes, I was surprised to see, the McLeod government did the mash. They did the Cabinet mash, the Cabinet mash. It was a majority government Regular Member MLA smash. The McLeod government’s Cabinet mash.

From their ivory tower way above, the Cabinet dazzled with their prime rib grub. While the groveling of Members kept far below, pleading for help through those Cabinet’s no, no, no. So the McLeod government did the mash, they did the Cabinet mash, the Cabinet mash. It was like a majority government Regular Member smash. The McLeod government Cabinet mash.

The zombie Ministers were just as stunned. The party politics had just begun. While the Cabinet stuffed their ridings with trinkets and toys, the Members like us sturdy our poise. ITH, cost of living, and kids, we will never give up nor waver or fizz, because we believe in the people, they’re worth the fight.

While the McLeod government does the mash, they did the Cabinet mash, the Cabinet mash. It was like a majority government Regular Member smash.

As we close, I want to thank the government’s patience and time. May everyone be safe on this special day for children. Drive safe, everyone, and enjoy the evening as it’s intended.
