Everyone's quaking in their boots, I know, but I just want to recognize Jeremy Harper, Speaker of the Yukon Legislative Assembly, who is here in the audience.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Thank you, Mr. Hanley.

I want to remind everybody that there will be no meeting on Thursday. We agreed to cancel Thursday's meeting. We'll resume our study in the new year.

I want to take this opportunity to wish everybody a happy holiday season. Be careful. Of course, don't forget the people who are less fortunate, especially if you're passing by the Salvation Army kettle anywhere. I'm doing about eight or nine shifts over the next few days with that particular entity. Again, keep those people in mind as well.

Bobby Morrissey Liberal Egmont, PE

How are the donations when you're there? Are they above average or below?

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

It's down this year as compared with last, but I've been surprised with the giving. I was at it on Saturday, and I had a young fellow drop by. He was probably in his early twenties. He shoved a $100 bill in the kettle, which I thought was pretty good.

The meeting is adjourned.
