Mr. Speaker, the storm of the century hit Newfoundland just over a week ago. While Newfoundlanders back home are still cleaning up the remains of Snowmageddon 2020, I want to take this time to thank those whose dedication and hard work cannot go unrecognized.
To the medical and hospital staff, paramedics, heavy equipment operators, hydro workers, RNC, RCMP and of course members of the Canadian Armed Forces, we extend our thanks for everything they have done to help keep our communities and our people safe. To every person who helped dig out a senior or a person with mobility issues, to anyone who checked on neighbours, family members and friends, to those who took someone in who had lost power, to those who offered food to people or volunteered their time to help those less fortunate, we extend our thanks.
There is not enough time to thank every person who deserves it, but they know who they are. I thank them for showing this country and indeed the world what true Newfoundland generosity and spirit look like.
I invite my colleagues to join me in thanking the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
