3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Thank
you
so
much
Mr
Speaker,
well
I
Rise
to
celebrate
the
small
businesses
in
Kelowna
that
employ
much
of
our
population.
The
Kelowna
CMA
is
home
to
over
30
000
small
businesses
and
was
actually
acknowledged
by
the
financial
post
as
the
most
enterprising
region
in
Canada.
In
my
Reading
Writing
sorry,
you
can
enjoy
several
great
shops,
restaurants
and
services
that
provide
for
our
community
if
you
want
to
go
out
for
an
extraordinary
meal
head
out
to
the
fix
Cafe.
A
But
if
you
just
need
a
coffee,
the
bean
scene
or
the
marmalade
cat
cafe
is
more
your
speed
for
shopping,
there's,
no
better
fish
than
codfathers
or
produce
than
Don
o'rays
or
the
Sunshine
market.
For
those
last
minute
items
heading
home
to
the
upper
mission
to
show
someone
that
you
love
them
we'll
go
and
visit
Marie
at
Earthly
Creations,
but
for
those
big
shops
head
to
Peters
your
Independent
Grocer.
A
As
just
this
last
week
he
was
appointed
to
the
Canadian
Chamber
of
Commerce
board
of
directors
at
the
national
AGM
and
policy
conference
in
Ottawa.
Rogers
is
serving
as
the
second
vice
president,
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
Executives
of
Canada
and
will
represent
the
ccec
on
the
Canadian
chamber
board
for
the
next
three
years
with
the
house.
Please
join
me
in
celebrating
this
new
appointment
for
Dan
Rogers
and
in
doing
so
celebrate
the
whole
entrepreneurial
Spirit
of
Kelowna.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
