Introduction of Guests (12 May 2025)

From Hansard (12 May 2025)

 

Diane Keisig

Hon. Travis Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sunday was Mother’s Day, a day we celebrate our mothers and the mothers of our children. Unfortunately myself and thousands of other Saskatchewan agriculture producers were unable to spend the day with their mother. They were busy working in the field, getting the crop in. Our world-class agricultural producers are hard at work, Mr. Speaker, and I just want to say, on behalf of all of them, to our mothers: we love you, and we were thinking about you all day.

But if you can’t spend Mother’s Day with your mother, Mr. Speaker, well the next best thing: bring your mother to work day. I’m very happy, Mr. Speaker, to introduce my mother, Diane Keisig, joining us here today. She is joined by her friend Freda Armstrong. These two ladies, Mr. Speaker, are ruthless card players. They play some very competitive bridge and have a lot of good times together, Mr. Speaker. My mother always says, you have to keep moving to keep your body in shape and you’ve got to keep playing cards to keep your mind in shape.

Another thing, Mr. Speaker. My mother is a dedicated watcher of legislative proceedings in this House. And it’s always interesting when you talk to her, Mr. Speaker, because she refers to everybody by their first name. And it’s like she knows everybody, but nobody really knows who she is, you know. Like she’ll always say, “Oh, Scott was on fire today,” or “Lori’s blazer sure looked good,” or “Jeez, that Ken, he sure knows a lot of people. He’s always on his feet, introducing people.” So those are quotes, Mr. Speaker.

Anyway I really want to say that, to you and through you, Mr. Speaker, please join me in welcoming Diane Keisig; Freda Armstrong; her chauffeur for the day, Shannara Keisig; and Brian Armstrong to this, their Legislative Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
