I'm pleased to see that one of Winnipeg's favourite subjects for small talk, the Jets, has made its appearance in the highest levels of government. Need to fill a few seconds on the clock? Bring up the Jets!

Mr. Rob Altemeyer (Wolseley): ...That type of experience, Mr. Speaker, I can assure you, makes it very, very easy for me to wake up in the morning with fire in the belly and looking forward to working at the community level with individuals and with my remarkable colleagues here at the Manitoba Legislature. So I will close off my comments there, and we can resume this remarkable presentation in a little while.

Someone’s telling me I have to keep talking so–how about–how about them Jets, Mr. Speaker? You know, it’s kind of nice to be able to say that. We couldn’t walk downtown and ask that question not too many years ago either.

I’ve had the privilege of attending a Jets game. It was their first victory at home–

Mr. Speaker: Order, please. Order.

The honourable member for Wolseley will have 22 minutes remaining.

And the time being 5 p.m., the House is adjourned and stands adjourned until Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.

And yes, I'm a nerd who reads the Hansard looking for cheap laughs like this.
