Mr
speaker,
I
rise
today
to
ask
the
chamber
for
unanimous
consent
to
wave
standing
order,
seven
in
order
to
allow
our
assembly
alberta's
assembly
to
proceed
immediately
to
government
morrison
32
in
address
to
his
majesty
king
charles
iii,
in
memory
of
our
late
sovereign
elizabeth
ii.
In
order
to
pay
respects
to
her,
mr
speaker,.
E
Mr
speaker,
I
move
government
motion
32,
which
reads
that
an
humble
address
be
presented
to
his
majesty
the
king
as
follows.
We,
your
majesty's
most
dutiful
and
loyal
subjects.
The
legislative
assembly
now
assembled
wish
to
express
the
deep
sympathy
felt
by
this
assembly
for
the
great
sorrow
which
your
majesty
has
sustained
by
the
death
of
the
late
queen.
Your
majesty's
mother
extend
to
all
the
royal
family.
E
I
must
say
very
personally
that
her
death
has
hit
me
harder
than
I
expected
as
though
I
had
lost.
I've
lost
a
grandmother
or
a
long
time
friend,
and
so
it
is
a
truly
a
serendipitous
honor
that
my
last
speech
in
this
place,
as
her
late
majesty's
first
minister,
is
to
honor
her
remarkable
life
and
legacy
dying
in
her
eighth
decade
on
the
throne.
E
E
E
E
E
E
Indeed,
when
I
first
met
the
then
prince
of
wales
and
now
king
charles
25
years
ago,
I
I
said
to
him
your
royal
highness.
I
very
much
look
forward
to
the
day
that
you
will
be
the
king
of
canada
and
he
responded
to
me
with
a
wry
smile
well,
with
the
way
that
my
gut
mother
is
carrying
on.
I
doubt
that
day
will
ever
arrive.
E
E
Apparently,
the
prince
became
white
knuckled
and
terrified
and
through
his
translator,
begged
her
majesty
to
slow
down,
of
course,
in
her
own
mischievous
way,
the
queen
made
a
powerful
statement
for
the
women
of
saudi
arabia
who
were
prohibited
from
driving
since
her
passing.
Mr
speaker,
we
have
heard
much
about
that
dry
sense
of
humor,
which
I
observed
firsthand
during
her
last
visit
to
canada,
during
which
I
had
the
high
honor
of
being
her
minister
in
attendance
at
various
events.
E
One
more
race
and
then
depart
for
the
royal
canadian
air
force
jet
to
take
her
back
to
london,
but,
mr
speaker,
that
one
race
turned
into
a
second
race
that
turned
into
a
third
and
a
fourth
race.
And
now
the
royal
couple.
The
royal
party
was
running
nearly
40
minutes
behind
schedule
and
one
could
see
prince
philip,
getting
a
little
agitated
and
I
I
observed,
as
he
approached
her
majesty
and
said
he
said
man.
E
E
E
She
she
was
the
commonwealth's
greatest
diplomat,
former
prime
minister,
harold
macmillan
once
said,
quotes.
I
was
astonished
at
her
majesty's
grasp
of
all
the
details
sent
to
me
messages
and
telegrams
and
mr
speaker,
for
those
who
work
in
whitehall.
They
often
ministers
are
often
known
not
to
return
their
red
boxes,
their
ministerial
homework
complete
with
the
work
completed,
but
her
majesty,
who
was
known
as
reader
number
one,
always
returned
her
work
completed
on
time.
E
She
took
her
role
in
every
respect
seriously.
Mr
speaker,
let
it
be
said
that
one
of
her
lead
majesty's
great
greatest
achievements
was
the
creation
and
the
preservation
of
the
commonwealth.
This
great
family
of
nations,
which
has
lived
through
many
stresses
and
strains
incredibly
diverse
collection
of
nations
which
share
a
common
history
connected
to
britain
and
the
english
language
across
the
world
was
spread.
E
God
help
me
to
make
good
my
vow,
and
god
bless
all
of
you
who
are
willing
to
share
in
it
mister
later
in
life.
Mr
speaker,
she
said
that
quotes,
although
that
vow
was
made
in
my
solid
days
when
I
was
green
in
judgment,
I
do
not
regret
or
retract
one
word
of
it,
mr
speaker,
that
sense
of
duty
continued
until
the
very
end
when
she
commissioned
her
15th
british
prime
minister
to
form
a
government.
E
E
On
her
several
visits
to
our
province,
she
demonstrated
a
great
love
and
admiration
for
this
place
and
for
its
people
for
its
first
nations
for
newcomers
from
every
corner
of
the
world,
and
mr
speaker,
her
name
will
live
on
in
this
place.
Her
name
will
live
on
forever
in
schools
and
streets,
roadways
and
buildings,
and
indeed
mount
queen
elizabeth
and
the
queen
elizabeth
range
of
our
majestic
rocky
mountains.
E
People
around
the
world
have
a
sense
of
turning
a
chapter
in
history
of
being
part
of
history
and
observing
her
death,
but
also
because
we
live
in
a
world
where
there
is
sadly
much
darkness
where
there
is
evil
violence,
instability,
exploitation,
the
denial
of
human
dignity.
We
see
it
now
in
a
spectacular
way
in
vladimir
putin's
appalling
invasion
of
ukraine,
and
so
when
we
look
at
our
late
queen,
what
we
see
is
the
counterpoint,
the
opposite:
the
contradiction
to
that
darkness
and
division
which
characterizes
too
much
of
modern
history.
E
E
F
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker.
Today
I
rise
on
behalf
of
her
majesty's
loyal
opposition
to
remember
and
to
commemorate
the
life
of
her
late
majesty,
queen
elizabeth
ii.
I
offer
my
deepest
condolences
to
king
charles
and
the
royal
family,
for
their
loss
and
to
all
albertans
who
are
mourning
this
loss.
F
F
She
reigned
through
countless
moments
in
world
history,
the
moon,
landings,
the
fall
of
the
berlin
wall
and
the
extraordinary
rise
of
digital
communications,
just
to
name
a
few
in
canada.
She
oversaw
pivotal
moments,
as
many
have
already
mentioned
in
in
talking
about
her
over
the
last
few
days,
such
as
the
repatriation
of
the
constitution
and
the
adoption
of
the
charter
in
1982..
F
Now
we
must
also
recognize,
mr
speaker,
that
the
british
crown
can
evoke
some
very
different
reactions
from
indigenous
people
in
our
land
who
have
been
and
continue
to
be
subject
to
colonization.
The
consequences
of
colonization,
and
it
is
also
can
invoke
different
reactions
from
other
citizens
of
the
country
with
roots
and
jurisdictions
that
also
struggled
with
the
consequences
of
conflict
with
the
crown
and
those
who
still
endure.
The
harms
of
colonialism
will
have
a
different
view
on
the
institutional
monarchy
itself.
F
Those
canadians
have
a
right
to
voice
these
perspectives.
We
must
honor
those
perspectives.
We
must
listen
to
those
perspectives,
because
I
believe
as
well
that
the
example
that
queen
elizabeth
herself
demonstrated
is
that
that
is
exactly
what
she
would
do
and
she
would
call
on
us
to
do.
That
being
said.
We
are
here
to
recognize
and
memorialize
queen
elizabeth
herself
and
the
personal
attributes
that
allowed
her
to
contribute
to
the
well-being
of
our
commonwealth
throughout
the
term
of
her
reign.
F
I
don't
have
quite
the
the
level
of
personal
stories
that
our
premier
has,
but
I
will
say
in
1978
she
did
come
to
alberta
and
to
grand
prairie
to
turn
the
sod
and
the
construction
of
the
hospital
that
still
bears
her
name
there.
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
have
dinner
with
her
during
that
visit
mind
you.
I
was
14
at
the
time
and
there
were
500
of
our
closest
friends
and
neighbors
in
the
room.
So
I
don't
know
that
I
made
much
of
an
impression
on
her
head
of
state
that
evening.
F
My
mother
and
father.
However,
did
get
a
chance
to
to
meet
her
properly.
My
dad
used
his
audience
to
lobby
unsuccessfully
for
her
to
visit
our
hometown
of
fairview,
which
was
celebrating
its
50th
anniversary
that
year,
but
it
was
honestly,
my
mother
who
treasured
that
opportunity
the
most
up
to
her
dying
day,
and
I
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
why.
F
My
mother
was
born
in
the
u.s
and
she
was
involved
in
what
some
folks
might
today
refer
to
as
radical
woke
left
activities.
She
traveled
in
the
same
circles
as
abby
hoffman.
She
attended
peace
marches
and
she
traveled
throughout
the
southern
united
states
to
register
black
voters
before
moving
to
alberta
in
1962.
F
F
F
As
a
woman
coming
of
age
in
the
late
50s
and
early
60s,
queen
elizabeth
provided
the
strongest
example
of
a
woman
leader
to
a
generation
of
women
who
didn't
really
have
much
else
to
look
for
in
the
way
of
female
western
democratic
leaders.
At
the
time
she
was
so
much
an
icon
that
my
mother
also
tried
very
very
hard
to
emulate
the
queen's
fashion
sense.
F
F
At
the
time
of
marrying
my
father,
my
mom
couldn't
maintain
dual
citizenship,
so
she
happily
became
a
canadian
citizen.
She
used
to
talk
to
me
about
that.
She
was
a
big
political
geek
and
I
was
quite
young
and
she
used
to
tell
me
how
proud
she
was
to
be
part
of
a
constitutional
monarchy,
the
age
of
seven.
F
One
would
hope
to
see
in
their
democratic
leaders,
and
my
mom
believed
very
strongly-
that
the
presence
of
the
monarchy
in
canada
inherently
released
politicians
from
that
formality
and
the
ceremony
that
might
otherwise
have
distanced
us
from
our
constituents.
Now
I
think
political
scholars
and
monarchists
republicanists
and
others
constitutional
callers
will
debate
that
point.
But
I
just
remember
my
mother,
believing
it
very
strongly
as
part
of
her
overall
value
that
she
that
she
tried
to
share
with
with
me
and
our
family
about
her
respect
for
the
queen.
F
And
what
is
true
is
there
is
no
question
at
all
the
queen
elizabeth
ensured.
Our
democracy
would
rest
on
stability
on
dignity
and
on
integrity
and
the
rule
of
law
that
not
only
her
role
represented
but
her
conduct
within
that
role
represented
now.
That
was
evident
in
her
1978
visit
when
the
royal
family
opened
commonwealth
stadium
and
kicked
off
the
games
here
in
edmonton,
the
queen
attended
a
banquet
hosted
by
premier
peter
lawhead,
where
she
gave
a
televised
national
address
about
the
importance
of
a
unified
canada.
F
She
said
the
following
quote:
encouraged
by
a
wise
government,
both
at
the
federal
and
provincial
levels.
Canadians
have
cherished
their
diversity,
they
exhibit
a
highly
individualistic
approach
to
life
while
at
the
same
time
adhering
to
the
ideal
of
a
firmly
united
people,
and
she
went
on
to
say
I'm
delighted
to
find
that
the
people
of
alberta
in
developing
their
enormous
natural
resources
are
determined
to
remember
that
material
strength
does
not
solve
all
man's
problems
and
that,
ultimately,
it
is
the
quality
of
life
that
we
all
live
that
matters
all.
F
End
quote,
and
so
here
we
are
44
years
later,
continuing
to
practice
and
honor
those
canadian
traditions
in
this
place
and,
of
course,
canadian
unity
has
been
repeatedly
tested
and
when
elizabeth
ii
was
here
in
1990,
she
acknowledged
a
quote
sense
of
anxiety
about
canada's
future
and
spoke
of
the
united
canada,
quote,
which
I
trust
I
shall
see
in
future
years.
When
I
come
again,
she
went
on
to
say
quote:
I'm
not
just
a
fair
weather
friend
and
I'm
glad
to
be
here
at
this
sensitive
time.
F
F
F
Now,
during
this
trip,
highway,
2
became
queen
elizabeth,
the
second
highway
or
the
qe2,
as
we
all
refer
to
it,
and
the
provincial
museum
of
alberta
became
the
royal
alberta
museum.
She
also
made
a
trip
to
jasper,
visited
commonwealth
state
stadium,
attended
a
centennial
celebration
at
the
saddle,
dome
and
took
a
helicopter
tour
of
the
oil
stands.
But
what
caught
my
eye?
It
will
make
no
surprise
to
folks
here
was
a
story
about
a
minor
kerfuffle
regarding
invitations
to
dinner
with
the
queen.
F
F
So
we
talked
about
queen
elizabeth
as
a
unifying
force,
and
indeed,
in
that
moment
she
managed
to
get
even
ralph
klein
and
clayton
to
break
bread
together
during
her
visit.
The
queen
also
addressed
the
alberta
legislature
for
the
first
time
in
the
province's
history
in
her
address
in
this
very
room,
she
felt
she
left
albertans
with
this
sound
advice-
and
I
quote
during
this
visit
as
we
honor
the
spirit
of
those
who
built
this
great
nation.
F
F
These
visits,
they
left
a
lasting
legacy
in
our
province
and
many
memories
for
albertans.
Her
presence
can
be
felt
and
seen
around
the
provinces
the
premier
has
outlined,
and
looking
back,
these
visits
took
place
at
pivotal
times
in
our
history,
and
while
she
avoided
giving
her
opinion
on
political
matters,
she
still
had
strong
convictions
and
people
took
notice
when
she
did
express
an
opinion.
Prime
minister,
brian
mulroney
said
queen
elizabeth
ii
was
a
quote
behind
the
scenes
force
on
ending
apartheid
and
here
in
canada.
She
firmly
believed
in
the
united
canada.
F
F
These
are
themes
that
all
members
who
have
the
privilege
of
sitting
in
this
chamber
and
those
who
may
sit
here
in
the
future
would
do
well
to
remember
it's
a
reminder
that
there
is
more
that
unites
us
than
divides
us
as
albertans
and
canadians.
The
queen
was
known
for
her
dedication
and
her
service
to
people.
Indeed,
her
disciplined,
diligent,
careful,
unwavering
unending
focus
on
duty
serves
as
the
embodiment
of
what
public
service
looks.
F
Like
some
of
us
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
have
served
in
her
majesty's
government,
and
some
of
us
again
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
have
served
in
her
majesty's
loyal
opposition
and
that
framing
of
the
role
of
the
opposition
is
an
important
reminder.
However,
vehemently
we
disagree
in
this
place.
We
all
loyal
to
alberta,
loyal
to
canada,
loyal
to
the
democratic,
legal
and
political
traditions
which
flow
from
the
crown.
F
We
should
all
follow
the
queen's
example
service
and
duty.
These
traditions
have
been
a
profound
source
of
stability
in
canada,
and
even
when
we
have
our
differences,
it's
these
democratic
principles
and
respect
for
the
rule
of
law
that
allow
us
to
resolve
those
differences
peacefully
for
generations.
F
Queen
elizabeth
was
a
source
of
that
kind
of
stability,
sometimes
in
uncertain
times
her
passing
makes
familiar
things
feel
different.
It
changes
the
words
of
our
national
anthem,
but
the
immediate
and
peaceful
transfer
of
the
crown
to
a
new
monarch
should
also
remind
us
of
the
fundamental
political
stability
that
makes
us
canadian
that
makes
us
members
of
the
commonwealth.
F
B
G
G
G
G
Folks
in
my
generation
have
never
known
another
sovereign
other
than
the
queen,
and
I
think
it's
with
that
part
of
that
duty
and
loyalty
that
there
was
a
couple
of
us
in
my
family.
My
my
brother,
my
youngest
brother,
he
signed
up
to
be
part
of
the
royal
naval
reserve
was
because
of
it.
I
got
to
swear
an
oath.
It
was
an
mla.
G
I
don't
have
a
ton
of
interactions
with
that,
but
what
I
did
was
I
reached
out
to
folks
in
my
community,
and
I
couldn't
imagine
seeing
on
social
how
many
stories
came
forward,
how
much
of
an
impact
that
she
really
had
and
if
I
may,
mr
speaker,
I'd
like
to
retell
a
few
of
those.
So
one
is
edward
gallagher
he's
a
former
military
officer
and
he
wanted
to
send
a
story
and
wishes
to
the
king
on
behalf
of
himself
and
his
family.
It
was
a
march
8th
1983.
G
He
was
just
shy
of
his
21st
birthday.
He
was
attending
the
royal
roads
military
college
and
he
actually
commanded
an
honor
guard
for
her
majesty
the
queen
and
the
ft
with
her.
He
says
the
visit
lasted
for
50
minutes
in
total,
but
he
remembered
like
it
happened
yesterday,
and
hers
was
a
life
of
service.
Unmatched
ed
also
shared
a
number
of
photos
with
us
as
well,
and
it
had
a
profound
effect
on
this
gentleman
for
the
rest
of
his
life
of
service
in
our
community

G
When
I
asked
him,
if
any
thoughts
as
well
and
he'd
served
in
afghanistan,
he
says
a
lifetime
of
service
is
what
he
offered
to
the
queen
and
he
would
offer
it
again
without
a
second
thought.
He
says
I
cannot
lead
you
into
battle.
I
cannot
give
you
laws
to
administer
justice,
but
I
can
do
something
else.
I
can
give
you
my
heart,
my
devotion
to
these
old
islands
and
all
the
peoples
of
our
brothers,
our
nations
retired
master,

as
a

G
G
G
This
is
the
leadership
and
we'll
miss
her
retired
lance
corporal
glenn
book
brooks
from
australian
airborne.
It's
times
like
these
that
the
multitude
of
humble
servants
like
myself,
who
serve
that
wonderful
monarch,
stand
by
silent,
respectful.
I
have
no
words
that
could
add
weight
to
her
passing
of
our
loss.
I
appreciate
the
offer
my
own
way.
I
I
met
with
her
for
a
few
seconds
in
sierra
leone
in
1994,
touched
me
forever
and
made
me
realize
who
I
was
and
what
I
was
doing.
G
What
my
duty
was
master
corporal
combat
engineer
chance
burles
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth,
was
always
a
constant
in
our
lives.
Her
face
was
adorned
in
our
money.
Her
photo
in
every
school
in
every
office
ever
present
watching
over
us
as
a
picture
of
service
and
duty
that
reminded
us
to
hold
ourselves
to
a
higher
standard.
G
G
Even
the
grass
was
off
duty
because
it
was
the
queens.
Her
presence
was
ever
there
with
her
loss.
We've
reached
an
end
of
an
era,
one
in
which
she
presides
over
great
change
is
an
upheaval
and,
as
the
times
changed
technology
changed,
he
showed
us
that
change
was
not
a
bad
thing,
but
we
should
always
hold
the
touchstone
that
made
us
who
we
are
we
see
only
for
we
do
is
we
stand
on
the
shoulders
of
giants.
She
was
one
of
those
giants.
G
Thank
you,
your
majesty,
for
always
being
there
another
lady
that
I
know,
she's
was
an
officer
in
the
canadian
navy
actually,
and
she
also
swore
two
goats
one
as
a
servant
to
the
people
of
the
province
and
in
her
words,
it
was
service
to
it
was
her
honor,
her
service
in
both
and
what
she
wrote
was
queen
eliza's,
the
second
personified
the
duty
of
selfless
service.
Her
steadfast
devotion
to
service
was
a
living
embodiment
of
what
it
means
to
sacrifice
for
yourself
for
the
good
of
others.
G
Her
majesty
was
once
serving
member
of
the
armed
forces
herself
having
served
in
the
auxiliary
territorial
services
during
the
second
world
war.
True
leadership
is
not
just
shown
in
words,
but
by
actions
and
being
unshakable
in
her
duty.
The
loyalty
and
the
dedication
of
those
who
selflessly
served
with
honor
her
majesty
the
queen
was
the
daughter
of
royal
naval
naval
officer.
She
married
a
royal
naval
officer
and
the
two
children
had
a
very
long
naval
career,
so
you
can
tell
there's
a
propensity
to
naval
and
infinity
from
from
andrea.
G
Her
majesty,
the
queen
was
the
daughter
of
a
royal
naval
officer
who
said
that,
when
having
served
in
the
auburn
aberdeen
shire
with
her
majesty
in
the
royal
family
spent
most
of
the
portion
of
time
every
year,
many
who
served
there
felt
more
personal
connection
with
queen
elizabeth
ii.
Her
majesty
showed
an
unwavering
denomination
to
the
armed
force
forces
members
of
remarkable
care
and
commitment
to
our
families.
She
was
the
armed
forces
honorary
mother
and
grandmother
commanded,
a
unique
respect
through
her
wisdom,
compassion
and
impeachable
example.
G
I'm
gonna
there's
more
here,
but
obviously
with
respect
to
others
that
have
things
to
say.
I'm
gonna
wrap
this
one
a
little
bit
shorter,
so
andrea,
prenzole,
thanks
the
queen
for
her
service.
She
says
thank
you
for
your
70
years
of
service
ma'am.
It
was
an
honest
or
honor
to
have
served.
You
and
to
prepare
paraphrase
a
traditional
goodbye,
the
royal
navy,
fair
winds
and
following
seas,
weary
traveler,
your
duty
has
come.
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
I'm
honored
to
rise
today
to
commemorate
the
passing
of
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth
ii.
During
my
first
term
as
mla,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
in
the
role
of
the
government
of
alberta's
liaison
to
the
canadian
armed
forces
and
now
act
as
his
majesty's
loyal
opposition
liaison
to
the
canadian
armed
forces.
H
H
H
Recently,
members
of
the
royal
regiment
of
canadian
artillery
united
kingdom
public
duties
contingent
provided
their
public
duties
for
a
month
in
2021
as
the
queen's
guard
at
the
four
royal
residences
and
important
locations
in
the
london
district,
including
buckingham
palace
and
the
tower
of
london
honoring.
Our
local
talent
for
the
multiple
mount
and
dismount
ceremonies.
The
queen's
guard
was
accompanied
by
the
36
person
royal
canadian
artillery
band,
based
here
in
edmonton,
as
commander-in-chief
of
the
canadian
armed
forces,
her
majesty
sought
to
comfort
and
motivate
military
personnel
at
challenging
times
in
a
particularly
thoughtful
gesture.
H
Queen
elizabeth
also
invited
the
20th
field
regiment
of
the
canadian
royal
artillery
to
edinburgh
in
honor
of
its
100th
anniversary
today.
That
regiment
consists
of
the
61st
field,
battery
stationed
in
edmonton
and
the
78th
field
battery
based
out
of
red
deer
and
is
an
active
reserve
unit
in
alberta
and
serves
as
the
ceremonial
salute
regiment
for
the
province.
H
It
was
deeply
important
to
her
to
provide
comfort
and
support
when
remembering
those
who
had
been
deployed
away
from
their
families,
a
matter
close
to
her
heart
as
a
military
spouse
herself
and
with
many
of
her
children
and
grandchildren.
Having
served
most
particularly
prince
harry
in
afghanistan,
the
queen
supported
veterans
of
the
armed
forces
through
her
many
patronages,
including
lending
her
support
to
grandson,
harry's
creation
of
the
invictus
games,
an
international
multi-sport
event
held
for
wounded,
injured
and
sick
servicemen
and
women
both
serving
and
veterans.
H
As
the
ndp
critic
for
culture,
I
cannot
help
but
admire
the
queen's
dedication
and
contribution
to
sports
and
culture
in
alberta
in
1951,
while
still
princess
elizabeth.
She
made
her
first
visit
to
alberta
and
watched
a
cfl
game
where
edmonton
beat
winnipeg
in
the
western
semifinal
calgarians
were
so
excited
for
her
visit.
The
calgary
stampede
put
on
a
special
fall
edition
of
the
show.
H
It
must
have
been
a
success
as
she
would
go
on
to
visit
three
more
stampedes
over
the
decades
in
1978,
queen
elizabeth
opened
and
attended
the
commonwealth
games
in
edmonton
a
monumental
event
that
included
building
the
brand
new
commonwealth
stadium.
Opening
sporting
events
in
canada
became
somewhat
of
a
tradition
for
the
queen.
She
opened
the
olympic
games
in
montreal
in
1976
the
year
that
I
was
born
and
officiated
at
the
opening
commonwealth
games
in
edmonton
and
then
in
victoria
in
1994,
which
is
the
year
my
oldest,
was
born.
H
H
H
H
I
Grief
and
gratitude:
that
is
what
fills
my
heart
today:
grief
for
the
loss
of
queen
elizabeth
ii,
but
gratitude
for
her
lifetime
of
service
grief
for
the
royal
family,
as
you
have
lost
a
valued
family,
member
and
matriarch,
but
gratitude
for
her
work
on
behalf
of
countless
families
around
the
world
outside
the
walls
of
her
own
home
grief
that
we
may
no
longer
know
her
renowned
compassion
and
good
humor,
but
gratitude
for
the
example
she
set
as
a
world
leader.
In
the
time
she
spent
through
her
70-year
reign
as
queen
visiting
cities
around
the
globe.
I
I
She
attended
a
banquet
hosted
by
premier
lawhead
at
the
time
and
visited
several
other
landmarks
while
she
during
her
stay,
but
this
was
a
unique
visit,
because
the
mayor
of
edmonton
at
the
time
was
cease.
Purvis,
my
wife's
maternal
grandfather,
so
I
asked
him
what
was
she
like,
and
this
is
what
she
had.
What
he
had
to
say.
I
I
He
did
so
much
did
that
so
much
so
that
the
queen
had
to
turn
around.
Finally,
she
snapped
phillip
stop
dawdling,
but
the
compassionate
side
of
the
queen,
which
is
one
of
her
most
notable
traits,
was
also
on
display
one
evening
at
a
dinner
at
government
house,
hosted
by
then
premier,
lawhead
and
with
mayor
purvis.
I
J
J
J
Perhaps
even
more
importantly
than
the
crowns
linked
to
our
legislature
is
the
crown's
work
in
society.
Mr
speaker,
the
queen
was
an
incredible
example
of
selfless
service,
especially
through
her
charitable
work.
She
was
the
pattern
of
600
charities
throughout
the
world
and
when
you
include
her
family,
almost
3
000
charities
worldwide.
J
As
the
former
executive
director
of
england's
charities
aid
foundation,
john
lowe
sat,
and
I
quote
she
has
done
more-
for
charities
over
the
past
60
years
than
any
other
monarch
throughout
the
world.
Unquote,
prior
to
my
election,
I
could
have
never
predicted,
mr
speaker,
the
demands
of
serving
in
the
public
eye
and
and
representing
a
constituency.
J
Between
the
demands
of
our
family,
our
country,
her
ceremonial
roles,
her
charitable
work
and
her
commonwealth
tours,
I
am
not
certain
anyone
could
maintain
the
same
level
of
calm
under
that
amount
of
pressure,
as
we
reflect
upon
the
queen's
life
here
in
this
house
today.
I
cannot
help
but
feel
gratitude
for
the
example
of
leadership
she
has
set.
J
God
grants
me
to
uphold
the
constitutional
principle
at
the
heart
of
our
nation
and
wherever
you
may
live
in
the
united
kingdom
or
in
the
europe
of
territories
across
the
world,
and
whatever
may
be
your
background
or
beliefs,
I
shall
endeavor
to
serve
you
with
loyalty,
respect
and
love,
as
I
have
throughout
my
life
and,
of
course,
in
the
same
way
that
both
her
late
majesty
queens
elizabeth
ii
and
his
majesty
king
charles
iii,
committed
to
a
life
of
self-love
service.
Let
us
do
our
work
as
legislators
and
government.
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I'm
grateful
to
rise
to
join
premier,
the
premier,
the
leader
of
the
official
opposition
and
my
legislative
colleagues
in
commemorating
the
life
and
reign
of
queen
elizabeth
ii
as
the
most
well-traveled
head
of
state,
the
queen
made
under
of
state
wizards,
including
being
the
first
reigning
monarch
to
visit
australia
and
new
zealand.
K
Today,
we
were
all
reminded
of
the
words
she
spoke
on
her
21st
birthday,
making
a
commitment
to
the
british
people,
and
I
quote,
I
declare
before
you
all
that
my
whole
life,
whether
it
be
long
or
short,
shall
be
devoted
to
your
service
in
the
service
of
our
great
imperial
family,
to
which
we
all
belong
and
a
long
and
devoted
life.
It
was
during
her
long
reign.
K
K
When
I
was
practicing
indigenous
law,
the
concept
of
honor
of
crown
regarding
treaties
was
of
vital
importance
in
all
its
dealing
with
indigenous
people,
from
the
assertion
of
sovereignty
to
the
resolution
of
claims
in
the
implementation
of
treaties,
the
crown
must
act,
honorably
and
so
is
the
foundation
of
the
relationship
between
the
crown
and
the
indigenous
people
and
in
order
to
honor
the
crown
queen.
Elizabeth
ii
and
king
charles
iii,
we
must
ensure
treaty
obligations
are
fulfilled
as
intended.
K
We
are
all
treaty
people
and
for
those
who
live
here
to
those
who
represent
the
signatories
of
the
treaties.
So
as
we
recognize
and
pay
respect
to
queen
elizabeth
ii
in
her
role
as
monarch,
we
must
also
acknowledge
the
need
for
reconciliation
and
the
significant
work
we
have
yet
to
do.
I
offer
my
deepest
condolences
to
king
charles
and
the
british
people
and
all
those
who
are
mourning
the
loss
of
queen.
Thank
you,
madam
speaker,.
M
Well,
thank
you,
madam
speaker.
It's
my
humble
honor
today
to
stand
in
the
legislature
and
pay
tribute
to
the
remarkable
life
of
queen
elizabeth
ii,
our
late
monarch,
monarch,
inspired
the
world
with
her
strength,
her
poise
and
grace,
and
the
deep
abiding
sense
of
purpose
that
she
carried
throughout
her
life.
M
Hers
was
a
life
of
unwavering
service
to
country,
the
commonwealth
and
her
people
that
steadfast
steadfast
purpose
was
a
constant
throughout
her
70-year
reign.
Despite
immense
technological,
geopolitical
and
societal
change
during
world
war
ii,
she
gave
her
first
public
address
to
bus
morel
and
served
as
an
active
member
of
the
armed
forces
where
she
trained
and
worked
as
a
mechanic
at
the
age
of
25.
M
The
queen's
annual
christmas
message
was
an
encouragement
to
millions
each
year
for
69
of
her
70
years
as
sovereign.
She
met
people
in
their
homes,
pulling
back
the
curtain
on
her
public
life
and
sharing
a
deeply
personal
piece
of
herself,
her
family
and
her
faith
two
years
ago,
during
a
time
of
great
fear
and
grief,
she
gave
the
first
ever
her
first
ever
easter,
address
speaking
a
much
needed
message
of
hope
and
the
light
of
christ
over
a
troubled
world
and
just
two
days
before
her
passing.
M
She
personally
met
and
appointed
britain's
newest
prime
minister
still
honoring
her
bow
and
discharging
the
duties
of
her
office.
Her
dedication
to
family
and
country,
the
commonwealth
and
to
people
around
the
world
exemplified
service
above
self,
and
inspired
that
in
others.
There
may
not
be
a
public
figure
in
my
lifetime
to
whom
these
words
apply.
More
from
the
gospel
of
matthew,
well
done
good
and
faithful
servant.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
rise
today
as
someone
who
has
been
the
subject
of
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth
ii,
his
entire
life,
I
think
that's
true
for
the
vast
majority
of
citizens
in
alberta
and
across
the
commonwealth,
and
I'm
also
proud
to
rise
today.
As
someone
who
is
subject
of
queen
elizabeth
ii,
queen
of
canada,
this
has
been
her
title
in
canada
since
1953
when
the
government,
canada
changed
her
title
to
that.
N
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
recognize
today
that
she
is
what
has
been
the
queen
of
canada
and
king
charles
is
now
the
king
of
canada,
a
separate
title.
We
are
not
just
subjects
of
united
kingdom,
but
our
own
proper
monarchy,
of
which
we
have
a
direct
connection
to
now,
I'm
not
a
royal
watcher.
Admittedly,
mr
speaker,
I
don't
follow
the
tabloids.
I
cannot
name
the
entire
royal
family.
There
are
many
many
reasons
that,
across
the
entire
commonwealth,
there
are
monarchists.
N
It's
a
connection
to
tradition,
particularly
the
institution
of
the
monarchy,
but
I
must
say,
as
canadian
public
commentator
ben
woodfinden
said
publicly
recently,
I
was
surprised
by
how
much
it
affected
me
when
I
learned
of
her
passing.
Of
course,
many
of
us
knew
and
expected
this
to
come
soon.
96
years
old,
but
still
it
hit
me
hard
in
many
ways
she
was
a
silent
grandmother
there
for
so
many
of
us
throughout.
N
I
appreciate
so
deeply
that
message
I
didn't
when
I
was
younger,
but,
as
I
got
older,
I
came
to
very
much
appreciate
it
and
there's
something
to
be
said
about
the
fact
that
she's
a
unifying
figure
from
an
institution
of
our
past,
not
the
idea
of
hope
in
the
future.
What
we
will
be
together
later
on
these
are
good
things
to
be
unified
around,
but
it's
from
the
depths
of
our
history,
the
very
very
deepest
part
of
who
we
are
in
western
civilization.
N
That's
what
unites
us,
that's
rare,
mr
speaker,
and
something
I
think
we
should
be
celebrating
her
life
in
the
70
years
of
her
reign.
She
was
always
unifiers
stories
we
heard
from
both
our
premier
and
the
leader
of
the
official
opposition
celebrating
these
moments
of
unity
together
coming
together
in
our
public
life
again
through
the
monarch.
I
think
this
is
important.
I
think
that
institutions,
by
definition,
are
formative,
mr
speaker,
they
form
they
form
people
who
go
through
them.
N
It's
not
just
people
that
they
form,
mr
speaker,
they
form
our
society,
they
form
us
as
a
people
altogether,
and
that
is
what
the
monarchy
has
done
to
canada
in
her
history
from
the
very
beginning,
even
before
her
formation
as
a
dominion
in
1867,
it
was
the
monarchy
that
formed
us
that
made
us
unique
in
north
america,
we're
not
american
happily,
so
we
are
canadian
proudly
a
part
of
the
commonwealth.
Previously
subjects
of
the
british
empire
now
proud
sovereign
citizens
loyal
to
her
majesty
the
queen,
both
in
government
and
opposition.
N
N
You
know
the
great
moments
of
you
know
parliamentary
debate
and
prime
ministerial
interactions,
but
in
my
constituency
here
in
alberta,
mr
speaker,
in
1950
all
the
way
through
until
the
winter
of
1951
alberta,
and
my
constituents
in
particular,
went
through
the
greatest
forest
fire
in
canadian
history.
Even
to
this
day,
three
million
acres
burnt
down,
mr
speaker,
the
chinchaga
fire.
N
After
that
fire,
as
it
was
distinguished
in
the
winter
of
1951,
queen
elizabeth
became
the
cr.
The
queen
rose
to
the
replace
her
father
in
february,
9th
of
1952
in
an
entire
time,
silently
growing
in
the
forest
of
northern
alberta.
Along
with
her
majesty,
the
queen,
along
with
our
province,
have
been
the
trees
this
forest
that
continues
to
grow.
N
I
can
think
of
no
better
analogy
and
common
one-to-one
with
this
organic
growth,
continuing
up
sustaining
us
in
the
north
for
sure
in
our
economy,
providing
for
us
warmth,
because
there
were
still
people
breaking
land
and
burning
wood
stoves
for
many
many
years
during
her
reign
as
that
forest
supplied
for
us
resources,
we
needed
a
part
of
who
we
are
the
very
environment
in
which
we
lived
every
day
with
these
trees
that
grew
up
along
with
her
majesty
the
queen.
Along
with
us.
N
It's
not
just
my
life
that
has
been
lived.
My
father
born
in
1950,
his
entire
memorable
life,
has
been
under
her
majesty
the
queen.
I'm
told
that
my
grandmother
and
my
father's
side
met
her
majesty
the
queen.
When
she
came
to
alberta,
visited
her
long-term
care
facility
old
folks
home.
They
used
to
call
it
when
her
majesty
was
here.
N
Of
course,
that
is
the
one
interaction
my
family
had
with
her
in
her
majesty's
service
to
those
who
built
their
province
and
came
before
us.
That
seemed
so
fitting.
Doesn't
it,
it
seems
so
right
that
the
one
interaction
that
I
have
of
any
kind
of
grasp
at
some
sort
of
tangible
connection
to
her
is
through
her
honoring,
my
grandmother,
because
of
what
she
did
before
she
could
have
been
hanging
out
with
prime
ministers,
but
no,
she
was
in
the
forest.
She
was
hanging
out
with
the
common
people
in
service
of
them.
N
Those
stories
are
so
common.
We
hear
them
on.
The
news
today
seems
like
24,
newscasts
or
stories
of
people
with
these,
and
there
are
so
many
of
them
because
she
did
it
every
single
day
of
her
life
in
service
and
she
formed
us
in
the
institution
of
the
monarchy.
She
formed
us
as
a
people
in
her
small
way.
N
L
Speaker,
it
is
with
grief
and
sadness
that
I
rise
today
to
speak
to
the
life
and
the
legacy
of
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth
ii.
While
this
opportunity
may
be
one
of
the
greatest
in
my
career
in
this
house.
Mr
speaker,
it
is
also
one
of
the
most
difficult
for
what
can
one
individual
of
this
chamber
say
to
pay
the
proper
respect
to
the
woman
who
so
dutifully
served
us
for
70
years
of
her
96
year
life?
L
Never
in
our
past
has
there
been
nor
in
our
future,
will
there
ever
be
another.
Anyone
like
our
queen,
ascending
to
the
throne
at
just
age,
25
having
never
been
in
intended
for
it.
She
grew
to
become
the
longest-serving
monarch
in
our
commonwealth
and
the
longest
sermon
female
head
of
state
in
world
history,
but
she
also
grew
to
become
my
personal
hero.
Her
photo
hangs
in
my
house,
her
portrait
in
my
office,
reminding
me
daily
of
the
leader
that
I
and
every
member
of
this
chamber
could
only
ever
aspire
to
be
in
her
life.
L
Queen
elizabeth
served
as
a
mechanic
in
the
world
war.
She
studied
constitutional
law
reigned
over
15.
British
prime
ministers
addressed
the
us
congress
and
remains
the
first
and
only
monarch
to
ever
do
so.
She
traveled
tens
of
thousands
of
kilometers
for
duty
drove
the
saudi
arabian
king
around
britain
at
a
time
when
it
was
still
a
punishable
offense
for
women
to
so
much
as
drive
back
in
their
home
country.
She
participated
in
high-level
tactical
and
political
conversations
with
some
of
the
most
iconic
leaders
of
our
lifetime.
L
She
held
over
50
ranks
in
the
british
military
giver,
sent
over
4
000
british
acts
of
parliament
and
served
as
a
constant
beacon
of
grace,
joy,
goodness
and
civility
around
the
world
in
present-day
context.
Much
of
this
may
seem
ordinary,
but
in
the
context
of
a
young
woman
thrust
into
public
service
at
such
a
young
age
and
in
the
mid
1900s,
it
is
extraordinary.
L
L
The
throne,
queen
elizabeth
ii,
upheld
the
crown
uncompromisingly
always
putting
the
institution,
our
values,
our
traditions,
our
customs
and
the
preservation
of
our
way
of
life
ahead
of
herself
and
her
family.
No
matter
the
personal
cost
duty
was
the
highest
priority
in
her
life
second,
only
to
her
love
of
jesus
christ
and
that
she
met
with
britain's
new
prime
minister
in
the
final
48
hours
of
her
life
is
the
most
beautiful
and
perfect
exemplification
of
her
constant
lifelong,
unwavering
commitment
to
the
higher
purpose
for
which
she
was
called.
L
Having
such
a
figure
of
grace
and
stability,
as
our
sovereign
is
something
that
many
of
us,
as
canadians
may
have
taken
for
granted
over
the
years.
The
beauty
of
the
institution
that
is
the
crown
is
that
our
people
and
our
democratic
institutions
are
silently
bound
by
respect
for
our
history,
a
loyalty
to
our
nation
and
a
duty
to
uphold
a
common
foundation
of
morality.
L
Her
majesty's
passing
is
now
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reflect
not
only
on
the
woman
who
was,
but
on
the
importance
of
renewing
our
respect
for
the
unifying
influence
of
the
institution
that
gave
our
country
life,
while
the
face
of
the
monarchy
has
changed
the
tenets
of
what
it
represents.
Have
not
my
mother
and
I
recently
went
to
britain
in
june
to
celebrate
her
majesty's
platinum
jubilee,
her
70th
anniversary
on
the
throne.
L
We
woke
up
at
4
a.m
to
camp
out
at
the
parade
route.
We
joined
the
thousands
of
people
in
this
in
the
streets
to
watch
the
air
fly
by
and
we
attended
her
in
her
famous
horse
derby
and
at
the
time
it
seemed
like
a
moment
in
history
that
we
went
to
celebrate
and
be
a
part
of,
but
looking
back,
it
almost
feels
serendipitous
that
we
chose
to
be
there.
That
day.
L
Mr
speaker,
it's
with
immense
sadness
that
we
say
goodbye
to
queen
elizabeth
ii.
Our
world
will
unquestionably
never
be
the
same
because
of
her,
but
it
is
also
unquestionably
a
much
better
place
because
of
her
upon
her
visit
to
alberta
in
2005,
while
addressing
this
chamber
queen
elizabeth
referred
to
our
province
as
a
land
where
freedom
reigned
and
where
great
opportunities
lied
ahead.
L
During
that
same
visit,
she
stated
that
she
wished
for
the
crown
in
canada
to
represent
everything
that
is
best
and
most
I
and
most
admired
in
the
canadian
ideal
quote.
I
will
continue
to
do
my
best
to
make
it
so
during
my
lifetime,
she
iterated
your
majesty.
You've
done
that
and
so
much
more
god
save
the
queen
and
long
leave
the
king.
D
D
Did
you
know
that
she
visited
canada
most
out
of
all
of
the
commonwealth
countries
22
times,
and
I
would
like
to
just
take
a
moment
to
thank
both
our
premier
and
the
leader
of
the
opposition
for
their
wonderful
speeches
and
stories.
It's
really
what
regular
folks
like
me
want
to
hear
and
love
to
hear
those
stories
and
the
influences
and
impacts
of
those
who
are
actually
fortunate
enough
to
have
met
her,
and
I
really
believe
it
brings
her
closer
to
all
of
us.
D
That
consistency
is
something
that
is
likely
needed
more
now
than
at
any
point
during
her
long
reign
a
steady
hand,
a
kind
word,
a
commitment
of
decency
and
dignity
and
decorum
in
a
world
like
it
seems
like
it's
coming.
Undone,
we
know
that
her
majesty
provided
all
of
us
with
an
example
of
a
life
of
service
and
a
profound
commitment
to
our
institutions
and
up
until
her
final
days,
she
fulfilled
her
responsibilities,
including
free,
fair
and
democracy.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
fellow
members,
and
to
the
people
of
alberta
for
the
time
to
honor
the
legacy
of
what,
for
me
one
of
the
most
important
leaders
of
our
last
century,
and
I
would
just
like
to
final
fi
to
end
with
a
quote
when
queen
elizabeth
began
her
last
visit
to
canada,
she
talked
of
coming
home.
Of
course,
she
said
that
in
new
zealand
and
australia
and
many
other
places
as
well.
D
She
said
canadians
have
by
their
own
endeavors,
built
a
country
and
a
society
which
is
widely
admired
across
the
world.
I
am
fortunate
to
have
been
witness
to
many
of
the
developments
and
the
accomplishments
of
a
modern
canada,
and
then
she
said,
then
she
said
this
when
she
arrived
in
halifax
in
2010
as
queen
of
canada
for
nearly
six
decades.
D
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I'm
greatly
honored
to
rise
today
to
speak
on
this
day
of
remembrance.
Today,
I
wish
to
pay
homage
to
her
late
majesty,
queen
elizabeth
ii,
god
rest
her
soul.
Her
late
majesty
was
an
unwavering
presence
in
our
lives
for
as
long
as
many
of
us
have
been
alive,
she
reigns
with
gracious
glory
for
over
70
years,
and
it
is
for
that
very
reason
that
her
leadership
and
dedication
to
the
commonwealth
will
be
dearly
missed.
O
O
O
She
proved
herself
to
be
more
than
just
a
monarch,
but
a
true
leader
just
recently,
her
majesty
donated
substantial
relief
to
the
disasters
emergency
committee
that
funding
directly
supported
ukrainian
refugees
suffering
from
brutal
attacks
by
putin's
war
machine
throughout
her
life.
She
also
contributed
to
other
disaster
relief
efforts,
her
majesty
donated
to
the
2015
nepal,
earthquake
relief,
providing
funding
for
the
2014
ebola
crisis
and
relief
efforts
for
the
2019.
I
die
cyclone.
O
It
is
clear
that
the
queen's
gracious
and
giving
spirit
helped
so
many
people
across
the
world.
Mr
speaker,
as
the
elected
officials
who
stand
here
to
serve
albertans,
she
has
set
an
admirable
example
for
all
of
us,
no
matter
in
what
side
of
the
chamber
you
stand,
we
are
all
here
to
represent
our
constituents
and
work
towards
better
communities
and
lives
for
all
queen
elizabeth's
presence
and
devotion
to
the
public
service
will
be
dearly
missed.
So
now
it
is
up
to
all
of
us
to
carry
the
torch
into
the
future.
O
P
P
Earlier
this
year,
I
had
the
fortune
to
observe
a
momentous
occasion,
her
majesty's
platinum
jubilee,
which
marked
her
70
years
of
faithful
service,
the
longest
of
any
british
monarch
in
history,
her
unwavering
fidelity
and
devotion
to
her
country
and
the
commonwealth
was
acknowledged
worldwide
over
the
course
of
70
remarkable
years.
She
presented
herself
with
timeless
decency,
integrity
and
grace.
P
Her
late
majesty
was
a
beacon
of
stability
and
leadership
as
she
dedicated
a
lifetime
of
full-hearted
duty.
Her
late
majesty
was
an
exceptional
woman
whose
achievements
and
milestones
serve
as
inspiration
to
women
across
the
globe.
At
the
young
age
of
25,
she
became
only
the
sixth
woman
in
british
history
to
ascend
to
the
throne.
P
She
has
since
been
a
driving
force
and
most
of
the
influential
women
in
the
world.
She
dedicated
selfless
service
to
the
military
and
trained
alongside
other
women
in
the
auxiliary
territorial
service.
Her
wisdom
and
composure
have
contributed
to
her
respected,
admired
and
widely
esteemed
legacy
around
the
world.
P
When
I
was
only
six
years
old,
I
wrote
a
letter
to
queen
elizabeth
as
a
little
girl.
I
was
captivated
by
her
majesty's
grace
and
poise.
To
this
day.
I
can
still
remember
the
excitement
and
surprise
I
felt
when
I
opened
a
letter
from
the
lady
in
waiting.
I
was
over
the
moon.
It
is
a
memory
I
have
and
will
continue
to
cherish,
long
back.
Sorry,
look
back
on
fondly
throughout
her
70-year
reign.
P
Her
late
majesty
has
been
an
inspirational
figure
to
many
albertans,
and
canadians
such
as
myself,
queen
elizabeth
ii,
has
always
kept
canada
close
to
her
heart
from
1952
to
1922.
The
queen
made
22
official
visits
to
canada,
where
she
made
sure
to
visit
every
province,
territory
and
coast
of
our
vast
nation.
P
Alberta
was
honored
with
six
visits
from
her
late
majesty.
Throughout
her
life
she
toured
edmonton
calgary
banff
and
lake
louise
leaving
albertans
with
lasting
memories.
She
was
an
exemplary
woman
who
has
been
with
us
through
many
hardships
and
exhibited
care
and
compassion
when
the
world
needed
it
most.
P
For
many
people
she
was
an
anchor
of
stability
and
hope
and
faith
during
unprecedented
times.
Her
life
of
public
service
had
a
profound
impact
on
a
global
scale
and
she
has
touched
the
lives
of
millions.
She
will
always
be
remembered
for
her
commitment
and
dedication
to
her
duty
and
her
people.
Her
legacy
will
live
on
and
she
will
continue
to
be
a
role
model
for
many
generations
to
come.
Q
Q
Mr
speaker,
the
day
was
june
30
1990
my
family,
and
I,
along
with
my
grandpa
and
grandma
craig,
went
to
calgary
to
see
the
queen
inspect
her
two
regiments
there,
of
which
she
the
queen,
was
colonel.
In
chief,
they
were
the
king's
own
calgary
regiment
and
the
calgary
highlanders
there.
She
presented
the
calgary
highlanders
with
their
new
colors.
The
highlanders,
I
believe,
were
actually
the
last
canadian
regiment
to
change
their
colors
from
the
union
jack
to
the
canadian
flag,
and
this,
of
course,
was
the
ceremony
to
do
just
that.
Q
My
grandpa
grandpa
craig
marched
in
that
ceremony
with
the
king's
own
calgary
regiment,
to
which
the
reserve
unit
in
red
deer
was
attached,
and
my
grandpa
remained
in
the
reserves
after
world
war
ii,
he
was
there,
I
believe,
as
a
medical
officer.
My
grandpa
actually
said
one
several
times
with
amazement
in
his
voice.
That
the
queen
walked
within
three
feet
of
where
he
was
marching.
Q
I,
however,
I
remember
sitting
up
in
the
stands
at
mcmahon
stadium
and,
of
course,
as
a
10
10
year,
old
boy
spotting
and
pointing
out
my
grandpa
and,
of
course,
watching
the
queen
with
admiration
surrounded
by
family
at
such
a
special
event.
These
are
great
memories
that
I
have
not
thought
about
for
years,
so
in
somewhat
odd
fashion.
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
her
late
majesty
for
reminding
me
of
these
cherished
memories
of
time
with
my
family
and
my
grandparents,
her
late
majesty,
of
course,
again
visited
in
2005.
Q
I
also,
though,
had
the
opportunity,
as
was
previously
mentioned
when
she
opened
the
games
in
victoria
in
1994,
I
got
to
see
her
there
as
well.
However,
I
would
just
say
that
her
late
majesty's
presence
is
felt
in
many
ways,
sometimes
through
personal
memories
and
stories,
and
such
as
what
I
shared
and
then
also
sometimes
through
the
buildings,
roads,
parks
and,
of
course,
pathways
that
bear
her
name
throughout
alberta,
albertans
and
their
families
experience
and
enjoy
these
sites
every
single
day.
Q
R
Thank
you,
madam
speaker.
It
is
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
say
a
few
words
today
in
remembrance
of
her
late
majesty,
queen
elizabeth
ii,
the
queen
and
the
royal
family,
have
always
had
a
special
place
in
my
heart
growing
up.
I
was
fortunate
to
have
a
grandmother
who
was
a
an
avid
monarchist
who
collected
every
picture
magazine,
postcard
and
newspaper
featuring
the
royal
family,
and
so
for
me
from
a
young
age,
the
queen
wasn't
simply
a
symbol
or
a
person
because
of
the
queen.
I
was
able
to
have
a
special
connection
with
my
grandmother.
R
She
revealed
her
memorabilia
to
me
whenev.
Whenever
I
would
visit
you
know,
my
grandmother
would
actually
have
a
birthday
cake
for
me
whenever
I
visited
her
as
a
child,
no
matter
what
time
of
year
it
was
and
or
how
far
away
my
birthday
was,
and
it
was
sort
of
awkward,
because
I
I
remember
visiting
my
grandparents
in
december
christmas
time
and
I
have
three
siblings
who
all
were
born
in
december,
and
yet
my
grandmother
would
have
a
birthday
cake
for
me,
because
I
was
somewhat
special
to
my
grandmother.
R
R
You
know
one
of
my
fondest
childhood
memories
is
actually
watching
with
my
parents
when
the
then
prince
charles
and
princess
diana
drove
past
us
in
a
red
convertible
on
a
visit
to
nova
scotia.
I
was
five
years
old
at
the
time.
I
was
much
too
small,
much
too
short
to
see
past
the
massive
crowds
that
had
formed.
R
But
my
dad
told
me
if
I
want
to
see
princess
diana
that
I
would
have
to
stand
up
on
his
shoulders
and-
and
he
was
a
little
bit
scared
of
such
a
thing,
but
he's
like
the
only
way
you
can
see
them
is.
If
you
stand
on
my
shoulder,
so
he
always
stood
me
up
and
I
stood
on
his
shoulders
and
he
had
a
hold
of
my
feet
and
told
me
to
stop
shaking
so
so
I
wouldn't
fall.
But
again,
it
was
a
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity,
as
a
small
child
to
see
the
royals
drive
by
later.
R
In
my
life,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
spend
some
time
in
in
the
united
kingdom
and
and
with
my
my
royal
family
connection,
just
ingrained
in
me.
Since
a
child,
it
was
natural
to
be
huddled
by
the
fiery
on
a
blustery
christmas
day
in
scotland,
with
a
priority
to
watch
the
queen's
christmas
day
address
and
when
I
think
of
her
majesty
the
one
word
that
comes
to
mind
above
all
else
is
service.
R
R
R
She
played
all
of
these
roles
and
more
not
just
in
her
own
family,
but
to
us
all.
We
could
all
relate
to
her
as
if
she
was
family
and
in
this
way
she
was,
and
so
she
will.
She
will
be
remembered
by
us
all
for
being
the
great
queen
that
she
was
yes,
but
just
as
much,
if
not
more,
for
the
great
person
that
she
was.
R
S
Thank
you,
madam
speaker.
I
rise
today
to
join
my
fellow
albertans
and
people
across
the
commonwealth
in
mourning
the
death
of
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth
ii
throughout
her
life.
Her
majesty
provided
courageous
leadership
and
diplomacy
as
an
exemplary
female
head
of
state
to
canada
and
the
55
other
member
states
of
the
commonwealth.
S
During
her
remarkable
70-year
reign,
she
was
a
constant
in
an
ever-changing
world
and
the
only
monarch,
most
of
us
have
ever
known
as
a
child.
I
was
privileged
to
meet
her
majesty
the
queen
and
his
royal
highness,
the
duke
of
edinburgh,
as
they
toured
my
constituency
of
fort
saskatchewan
vegeville
on
august,
the
2nd
of
1978..
S
S
I
also
remember
that
many
of
us
were
extending
our
hands
out
to
her.
She
did
not
reach
out
to
all,
but
she
did
take
the
time
to
say
hello
to
myself
and
my
few
a
few
of
my
young
friends
throughout
her
reign.
Her
majesty,
the
queen
has
been
a
role
model
for
young
women
in
leadership
since
her
coronation
at
the
age
of
27..
S
I
take
great
inspiration
from
her
as
alberta's
associate
minister
for
the
status
of
women.
Her
majesty
has
exemplified
diplomacy,
wise
counsel
and
unfailing
public
service.
She
has
surpassed
barriers
and
preconceived
notions
of
what
it
means
to
be
a
woman
in
leadership
throughout
her
entire
life
on
her
18th
birthday
in
1944
princess
elizabeth
as
she
was
then
known,
insisted
upon
joining
the
army
where
she
volunteered
as
a
truck
driver
in
a
mechanic
during
the
second
world
war.
S
She
had
been
the
head
of
the
worldwide
anglican
communion
and
the
church
of
england
for
decades
before
female
priests
and
bishops
were
officially
recognized
in
these
churches.
In
addition
to
being
the
longest-serving
british
monarch,
her
majesty
was
also
married
for
over
73
years
wow
and
the
greatest
length
of
time
of
any
british
sovereign.
S
S
S
We
will
do
our
best
to
live
up
to
the
example
of
servant,
leadership
that
you
have
provided
for
us
all.
May
you
rest
in
peace?
Your
majesty.
May
god
bless
his
majesty
king
charles
iii,
and
queen
consort
camilla,
along
with
the
prince
and
princess
of
wales,
william
and
catherine,
as
they
believe
begin
their
new
roles,
god
save
the
king,
the.
T
T
T
I
found
it
almost
impossible
to
comprehend
how
she
crafted
an
ancient
institution
based
on
a
power
imbalance
of
monarch
and
subject
into
a
modern,
dynamic
institution
based
on
a
servant,
leadership
relationship
with
her
government
and
her
people
with
every
visit
to
canada.
She
showed
us
that
we
could
be
proud
of
her
and
the
institution
that
she
represented.
T
We
were
a
monarchy
and
with
every
visit
to
canada
and
to
alberta,
and
indeed
to
this
very
chamber,
she
reminded
us
of
her
grace
and
dignity
as
our
monarch
and
her
very
real
humanity,
with
every
walkabout,
with
every
flash,
of
wit,
with
every
visit
to
a
farm
or
every
time
she
opened
up
a
ceremony.
She
reminded
us
that,
underneath
the
long
history
and
tradition
of
being
a
queen,
she
was
also
a
mother,
a
wife,
a
real
person
who
also
had
to
face
the
everyday
struggles
and
disappointments
that
come
with
a
long
life.
U
V
V
If
you
stop
and
think
about
it,
70
years
is
an
immense
amount
of
time
she
has
seen
the
world
go
through
technological
changes,
political
changes
and
social
changes.
We
celebrated
her
then,
for
years
of
service
and
steady
presence
through
her
those
times
of
change,
we
celebrate
her
now.
For
those
same
reason
and
the
life
she
lived,
she
celebrated
her
silver
jubilee
in
1977
and
golden
jubilee
in
2002..
V
It
was
during
her
golden
jubilee
celebrations
that
she
made
it
clear
that
she
was
the
sovereign
for
all
her
people
and
that
for
our
different
religions,
this
shows
that
god's
love
it
stands.
It
stands
equal
measures
to
the
whole
humanity,
a
resonant
echo
of
sick
teachings.
That
shows
the
important
commonalities
between
our
different
faiths.
V
V
V
Her
late
majesty
was
dedicated
sovereign
who
helped
shape
our
history
during
her
70
years
on
the
throne,
she
was
our
longest
serving
monarch.
I
hope
that
albertans
find
some
time
on
this
morning
period
to
commemorate
the
remarkable
life
of
queen
elizabeth
sutton
and
her
long
and
dedicated
service
to
the
common
belt
time
to
rest
now.
Ma'am.
W
For
brooks
medicine
hat,
thank
you,
madam
speaker.
I
rise
today
with
a
heavy
heart
and
with
the
utmost
respect
and
reverence
to
remember
the
late
queen
elizabeth
ii
growing
up.
I
remember
dreaming
of
princesses
and
royalty,
like
most
little
girls
do,
and
because
of
that
I
developed
a
deep
fondness
for
the
royal
family,
although,
as
a
little
girl,
I'd
never
been
to
the
united
kingdom,
I
felt
a
sense
of
connection
delayed
her
majesty
and
felt
an
affinity
for
her
that
I
haven't
ever
felt
for
the
likes
of
any
celebrity
or
any
public
figure.
W
W
What
is
truly
astounding
is
that
in
all
of
this
pomp
and
circumstance
in
her
regality
and
effervescence,
she
maintained
a
sense
of
relatability,
with
even
the
least
of
those
that
she
served
on
the
day
of
her
passing
snippets
of
her
sense
of
humor
and
wit,
were
shared
across
social
media
platforms
and
whether
it
was
jumping
out
of
a
helicopter
with
james
bond
or
cutting
a
cake
with
a
sword
or
sharing
a
marmalade
sandwich
with
paddington.
Bear
that
one
always
seems
to
get
me
seemingly
small,
trivial
endeavors
in
the
grand
picture
of
her
reign.
W
She
endeared
herself
to
us
all
her
stable
and
enduring
presence
was
a
testament
to
her
deep
and
abiding
faith.
One
of
my
more
favorite
quotes
from
the
later
majesty
is
when
she
said
that
each
day
is
a
new
beginning.
I
know
that
the
only
way
to
live
my
life
is
to
try
to
do
what's
right
to
take
the
long
view
to
give
the
best
of
all
that
the
best
and
all
that
the
day
brings
and
to
put
my
trust
in
god.
W
I
believe
that
all
of
us,
christian
or
not,
can
relate
to
that
and
uphold
those
values,
as
we
reflect
on
the
life
and
reign
of
her
majesty
and
welcome
in
a
new
era
with
king
charles
iii.
We
do
so
with
the
knowledge
that
her
remarkable
life
of
public
service
and
dedication
to
country
has
left
an
impact
as
the
longest
reigning
monarch
canada's
queen.
My
queen,
we
are
learning
the
lesson
that
she
so
eloquently
taught
us.
Grief
truly,
is
the
price
that
we
pay
for
love?
W
U
U
Queen
elizabeth
ii
was
a
role
model
to
so
many
as
a
woman
of
faith,
integrity
and
quiet
dignity.
She
was
a
steadfast
leader.
I
trust
that
much
will
be
written
and
said
about
such
a
noteworthy
person,
but
for
now
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
o
good
and
faithful
servant
of
the
people.
May
you
rest
in
peace,
and
may
god
bless
your
son.
The
king.
