Former MLAs Warren Michelson & Marv Friesen

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, it’s my pleasure to introduce and welcome to this Assembly two former members. First of all in your gallery, Mr. Speaker, we have my predecessor, Warren Michelson, who honourably served Moose Jaw North for 13 years, Mr. Speaker. And he did a fine job representing the people of Moose Jaw North, certainly better than the guy that followed him.

Some Hon. Members: — Hear, hear!

Hon. Tim McLeod: — You feel the love in the room, Mr. Speaker.

I would note that Warren Michelson actually, if I’m not mistaken, holds the record in this Assembly for the number of times a government member has asked an opposition member, what are you talking about? And I would say to Mr. Michelson, in many respects we’re still waiting for an answer to that question, Mr. Speaker.

Also joining us here today, seated behind me is my good friend Marv Friesen, of course the former member from Regina . . .

An Hon. Member: — Saskatoon.

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Riversdale is still in Saskatoon, Mr. Speaker. And I would say, Mr. Speaker, we all know that Marv left politics for health reasons, and he’s returned to us today healthy and wearing the battle scars. We’re so glad that he’s here because any time Marv Friesen is here, it’s a great day in the legislature, Mr. Speaker.

I would ask all members please join me in welcoming back to their Legislative Assembly, Warren Michelson and Marv Friesen.
