HALIFAX, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2016. Sixty-second General Assembly. Fast paced, all human, circus show with acrobatic, comedy and aerial acts.
Assembly 6. 2, Session 3 / Hansard / Proceedings / The Nova Scotia Legislature. Kevin Murphy. DEPUTY SPEAKERSMr. Keith Irving. Before we get into the daily routine, I have a Speaker's Statement respecting the Joint Report of Auditors General of the four Atlantic Provinces. Tomorrow, the Auditors General of the four Atlantic Provinces will be releasing a joint report. The customary practice respecting a report by our Auditor General is for the report to be delivered to me, for me to table in this House when it convenes later in the day. The report is also delivered to the three caucus offices and is given to the media, but embargoed until the report is tabled in the House. Tomorrow the joint report will become public in Newfoundland and Labrador and in Prince Edward Island at 9: 0. Atlantic time, and at 1. It is therefore proposed that on this particular occasion, instead of the customary practice the report will be publicly released at 8: 3. The Speaker and the three caucus offices will receive the report at that time. Thank you. PRESENTING REPORTS OF COMMITTEESIs it agreed? It is agreed.

Insect populations have been drastically reduced . The effects on wildlife from fish to birds and non- target species have been observed at lower doses than the application as suggested.

NOTICES OF MOTIONSTATEMENTS BY MEMBERSSPRINGHILL GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES VOC. REHAB CTR.: CLIENTS - RECOGNIZEMr. Speaker, I congratulate these men and women on a job well done and wish them continued success in their future competitions. Jonathan took her love of stuffed animals and matched it to her fondness for solar- powered night lights, and created the perfect toy for his little sister. This national win comes not only with a $2,5. Canada's top toy manufacturer in Toronto, but also the opportunity to have his invention considered for marketing and production. I'd like to applaud Mr. Dare's business sense, innovation, and creativity. I look forward to seeing where Mr. Dare's path takes him and would like to congratulate him on this win. MCDOUGALL, CHRIS: CHARLIE'S RIDE - CONGRATS. In 1. 99. 9, the late Beatrice Hunter bequeathed $1. Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation for cancer research. In 2. 00. 9, the institute named in her honour was created to foster a more productive, and capacity- building cancer research effort here in Atlantic Canada. As a board member, Chris is aware of the advances in cancer research and treatment. He wants to help families so they never have to experience what his did. Cycling from Vancouver to the Terry Fox Monument in Newfoundland, Chris raised $2. His main purpose in undertaking this venture this summer was to raise awareness at all levels of government of the need to fund and support cancer research. FRANK & HAZEL: NAZARENE COMPASSIONATE MINISTRIES - DEDICATIONFrank and Hazel were delighted to step in to fund this project, which has been completed and opened this past April. Their son, David Locke, attended the dedication of the school building on behalf of his parents.

I'd like to commend Reverend Frank and Hazel Locke on their dedication to education and community- mindedness on the world scale. SOVIE, VICKY/SOULS HBR.: VOLS.

Grade 1. 1 representative, and co- president seemed like a natural next step for this young, aspiring student politician. She and her other co- president, Mr. Jack Murtha, will be the head organizers for all of Halifax West's events that are based on student inclusion and raising money for local charities. I would like the members of this Nova Scotia House of Assembly to join me in congratulating Maggie Pickard on achieving this position, and wish her success on all the events she will be coordinating this year. PICTOU LODGE BEACH RESORT: TOP 1. WEDDING VENUES - CONGRATS. In recent years Pictou Lodge has had an increase in wedding bookings and wedding- related events held at this fabulous resort. On special note, recent bookings have been made by people without ties to the immediate area, solidifying Pictou Lodge as a go- to wedding destination. Mr. Speaker, I also wish to congratulate Mr. Surett and his staff, as this recognition would not have been possible without their keen attention to detail and great service. SHOREHAM VILLAGE - BUDGET CUTS. This year its budget was cut by more than $3. This cut is especially painful given the Liberal's campaign promise to rebuild Shoreham in 2. Mr. Speaker, while the Premier continues to say that long- term care is a priority of his government, his actions speak louder than his words. BURTON, CHERYL: RETIREMENT - CONGRATS.

I ask that the Legislature please join me in thanking her for her long and dedicated service to the school and her community. SHELDON: PROMOTION - CONGRATS.
