Mr. Richard Harris (Cariboo—Prince George, CPC): Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to a wonderful lady in my riding of Cariboo—Prince George.

Mary Sjostrom is the newly-elected mayor of the great city of Quesnel, B.C. Mary has been an amazing supporter of her home town, having been active in business, community organizations, civic politics and just about everything else we can think of to make Quesnel, B.C. a city with an awesome community spirit and a great place to live. It has been my pleasure to know Mayor Mary for many years and over the last few work with her as she carries out her civic leadership roles with class, determination and a complete dedication to the people of Quesnel.

I congratulate Mary and look forward, once again, to working with her as she continues in her mayor's leadership role. I thank Mary for her friendship.
