Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm a bit conflicted on this one. I don't agree with us giving ourselves raises during a time such as now, when we all talk about our bad economy; however, given the nature of this Assembly and the fact that there's been so much unprecedented turmoil that oftentimes chairs have had to, you know, step aside, and I know that my colleague some of my colleagues have really stepped in as deputy chairs to fulfill that role.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also wish you a very good summer.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm glad that I ran out to use the washroom because I was able to actually look back at the gallery, and I would like to recognize Father Joe Daley, one of my constituents, here in the gallery. Thank you.
