Speaker, Resignation

The SPEAKER (14:03): Members, I wish to inform the house that at the conclusion of question time I will resign as Speaker. Serving as Speaker since 2021 has been the greatest privilege of my life. I wish to acknowledge and thank the Premier and his ministers and the leader and his shadow ministers for their forbearance and good humour over that period.

As well, I wish to thank and acknowledge the Clerk, the Deputy Clerk, the Serjeant-at-Arms, the whips and all house staff, as well as my personal staff. Their work often goes unremarked in this place. I am deeply grateful for it.

An election for Speaker will immediately follow question time, and I will provide my letter of resignation to the Clerk, directly, at the conclusion of question time. The leader.
