I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the gallery of a number of visitors. It is not very often that we get two premiers and other members of their cabinets and houses with us. However, I would like to introduce the Honourable Roy Romanow, Premier of the Province of Saskatchewan, and the Honourable Gary Doer, Premier of the Province of Manitoba.
With them in our gallery are our fellow Canadians from the province of Saskatchewan: the Honourable Jim Melenchuk, Minister of Education; the Honourable Dwain Lingenfelter, Deputy Premier and Minister of Agriculture; the Honourable Maynard Sonntag, Minister of Highways; the Honourable Clay Serby, Minister of Municipal Affairs; the Honourable Jack Hillson, Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs; and we have with us from the province of Manitoba the Honourable Rosann Wowchuk, Minister of Agriculture. We also have with us a former colleague of ours, Elwin Hermanson, who is Leader of the Opposition.
