Introduction of Guests (13 May 2024)

From Hansard (13 May 2024)

 

Asher Jenson

Mr. Jenson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you this afternoon, I’d like to introduce a guest in the west gallery, my son Asher. He’s decided to join us for the first time in the building. It’s his first time seeing his dad and his colleagues in the Assembly. And we spent some time earlier this morning, you know, taking him around the building and meeting some of my colleagues and some of the staff, including you, Mr. Speaker, and that was very gracious of you.

Asher’s in grade 12. He’s going to be graduating in a few short weeks. We consider this a field trip. He’s getting a little bit of ELA [English language arts], a little bit of math, a little bit of history all rolled into one this afternoon. So it’s great to have him here.

Asher is an accomplished athlete, Mr. Speaker, particularly in hockey. He just finished his minor hockey career a few weeks ago and finished his career as the captain of his U18 [under 18] hockey team. He’s also a cross-country runner, Mr. Speaker. He loves going to the gym, staying in shape. And something that’s been . . . Yeah, not like me. So something that’s been said here before is, we don’t do this job alone, Mr. Speaker. And there’s times where I’ve had to be here instead of being there for his events and for when he needed me the most. And for that all I can say is thank you, son, for standing beside me and listening to me when I’ve needed to be listened to, and I’ve done the same for you.

You know, and it’s not just me saying this. It’s also the people of Saskatchewan. It’s our families that enable us to do this job on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan. So not just me, son. It’s also you taking part in this, and I thank you so much for that. So with that, would you please welcome my son Asher to his Legislative Assembly.
