Mr. Speaker, it is my honour this afternoon to join with my colleagues of this assembly to extend deepest sympathies on behalf of the New Democratic Party caucus to the family of the late Doug Neil, the former member for Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan.
We are very saddened to learn about Mr. Neil's death. We do acknowledge that he and his family committed a great deal of time and energy, to serving Saskatchewan, to serving Canada and to serving the farming community in western Canada.
Along with my deskmate, the member for Saint John, a Conservative Party member, and on behalf of the NDP members, I offer my deepest sympathies to the family.
