Elyce Simpson-Fraser

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Well thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, today I am very pleased to introduce to the Assembly Elyce Simpson-Fraser, who is in your gallery, Mr. Speaker. Elyce is the president and CEO [chief executive officer] of Simpson Seeds Inc., which is a proud Saskatchewan company that’s rooted right in my home community of Moose Jaw.

Elyce represents the third generation of leadership at Simpson Seeds, and under her leadership the company continues to grow as a global leader in pulse processing. Mr. Speaker, Elyce was recently awarded with Moose Jaw’s MJBEX [Moose Jaw Business Excellence Awards] Business Leader of the Year award in recognition of her outstanding contributions not only in business but to our entire community. Elyce was also awarded the Pulse Promoter of the year for her leadership in promoting and strengthening Saskatchewan’s agri-food industry internationally.

Mr. Speaker, as if that wasn’t enough, Elyce is also the president of the Moose Jaw Farm & Food Partnership initiative which brings agriculture-focused businesses together to attract investment and strengthen Moose Jaw as a hub for agri-value, processing, and innovation.

Her leadership builds on a proud family legacy while positioning Moose Jaw and Saskatchewan at the forefront of the agri-food production. Mr. Speaker, Elyce Simpson-Fraser exemplifies the forward-thinking leadership that defines our province. I ask all members to join me in welcoming Elyce Simpson-Fraser to this, her Legislative Assembly.
