Thank you. I didn’t time that very well. I had one sentence left to say. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues.

I would like to tell the Whites today, on behalf of the many children who they have taught in the North, that they have earned our respect, our affection and our very, very heartfelt thanks. Thank you to them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I want to take this opportunity, with Mr. Bob White in our visitor’s gallery, to pay tribute to Bob and his wife, Susan, for their many years of teaching in the North with just three years experience teaching in Ontario and has added 30 years to that record in the North. His wife, Susan, has also taught in the North for 30 years.

The Whites are a part of the numerous outstanding teaching husband/wife teams that we have had in Hay River. Bob has taught all three of my children, and Jillian had him one year and then when Bob changed grades to the next...

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Is committee agreed?
