Madam Speaker, Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow has certainly been the theme song in my province of Newfoundland and Labrador this winter.
Indeed, all this snow has given us a magnificent white blanket for the winter carnivals.
I would like to think all the volunteers and groups in my riding, Long Range Mountains, who organized winter festivities in their communities.
This is also a huge boost to many not-for-profits as well as small businesses, especially those in the tourism industry.
Let us embrace winter and lace up our skates, go ice fishing, try downhill or cross-country skiing, or jump on a snowmobile and experience the hundreds of miles of groomed trails. The more adventurous can try zip lining, take a thermos of hot chocolate and go sliding with the family or, my favourite, snowshoeing with dogs.
There is nothing like a nice, hot cup of broth in the forest to make any winter outing a success.
Whatever their fancy, people can get out and enjoy, and we can continue to let it snow.
