MR. POLLARD: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Before I begin, I would like to congratulate the Member for Topsail for an outstanding job in his maiden speech.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear!
MR. POLLARD: It was well delivered, well prepared, and well written. It is indicative of the kind of team we have on this side of the House, Mr. Speaker. We have finesse players, we have goal scorers, we have checkers, we have grinders, we have spark plugs, and the depth - we have an awful lot of depth, Mr. Speaker. In fact, our seventh line is just as good as our first line.
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear!
MR. POLLARD: Mr. Speaker, we have a captain who can do it all: skate, shoot, score, anything.
