End-of-Session Acknowledgements

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. As this session comes to a close, I would like to offer some thanks to everyone in this Assembly for their hard work over the last couple of months.

First I would like to thank the Opposition House Leader, the member from Regina Douglas Park, for her collaboration in making sure that the scheduling works for both sides of this Assembly, Mr. Speaker. I really appreciate working with her as we navigate the legislative agenda and navigating through the wide variety of moving parts that happens around this place.

I would also like to thank both of the Whips, the Government Whip and the Opposition Whip, Mr. Speaker. We appreciate all the running around and the coordinating that they both do. It’s not an easy role, that’s for certain, Mr. Speaker, and it often requires adjustments on the fly, a lot of communication on very short notice. So we certainly want to thank both the member from Canora-Pelly and the member from Regina South Albert for all of the work that they do.

I would also like to thank you, Mr. Speaker, and everyone surrounding your office. Being the referee in this place certainly isn’t the least difficult role, and it requires a great deal of patience, wisdom, and support from those around you. So we offer you, Mr. Speaker, our deepest thanks for everything that you and your team do for this Assembly.

And of course I must thank the amazing building staff who work hard year-round, Mr. Speaker, ensuring that this grand place has great work happening within it. Our appreciation also goes out to the maintenance team, the janitorial crew, the security, the LDSU [legislative district security unit], cafeteria staff, the Legislative Assembly Service, broadcasting services, and Hansard, Mr. Speaker. So many others who work tirelessly behind the scenes making sure that this building is operational. Thank you so much to all of those individuals for all that they do, Mr. Speaker.

I also want to thank our Premier for his leadership and for the advocacy during these unprecedented times, Mr. Speaker. We all owe him a great debt of gratitude for the work that he does each and every day serving all of the people of Saskatchewan.

And finally I want to acknowledge and thank every member on both sides of this House, Mr. Speaker. We don’t always agree, but we are all here for the same reason, and that is to serve the people of Saskatchewan. It’s not easy spending a lot of time away from our families, which many of us do while we are here, and it’s always important to remember the support that we receive from back home while we’re doing this work. We could not do it without our families and our friends, and we thank them sincerely, Mr. Speaker.

So with that, I will finish by wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable summer spent with family and friends and of course with the constituents of our great province. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
