And thank you for meeting with us, Minister. Trump's tariff war has put working people under tremendous pressure. With tough times looming, it's more important than ever to make workers' voices heard in the halls of the Legislature β€” and reflect workers' priorities in the actions of our government.

As we gather today to say goodbye to John, I’m reflecting on how much love John had for this province and its people. Today, we aren’t just saying farewell to a leader but to a friend. His wife, Ellie, and sons, Evan and Nate, remain in our thoughts and prayers.
