Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I know we’re not supposed to have favourites, but today I want to wish a happy 94th birthday to my favourite constituent, Mrs. Christine Simpson.  At 21 years old, Mrs. Simpson left her native England for Canada, arriving on Valentine's Day, 1945. After spending two years in northern Alberta, she settled in Hay River in 1948. She calls Hay River home to this day, as do many of her nine children, 29 grandchildren, and many great and greatgreatgrandchildren. She is known in the community for her kind heart and gentle soul. Happy birthday, Nana.
