Thank you Mr. Hickes!

I have to say I'm not surprised to hear that George Hickes, Speaker of the Legislature and MLA for Point Douglas, won't seeking re-election but I am a tad saddened.

It is in large part due to Mr. Hickes that I was able to have such a great experience at the Legislature last year. Him and his office gave the Internship program incredible support and made the experience what it was!

As part of our program we had the chance to sit down and chat with him a few times and throughout the year he would always take the time to say hi and chat in the hallways. He had some amazing stories to share of his life prior to entering politics and was always keen to know how our experience was going.

He was well liked and respected by everyone at the Legislature and will be greatly missed.

I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Once again, Mr. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity and the great experience!
