We had no idea challenges. And I want to reiterate to the listeners that are out where we could possibly get COVID-19 from. It just didn’t make there that this government, the Sask Party government, got $440 any sense. And there was obviously something that we had to million, almost half a billion dollars from the federal government think about and talk about because it really is a traumatic to help battle COVID, Mr. Speaker. And the question that we experience. You hear all the horror stories and you see all the have on this side of the Assembly is, where did that money go? deaths that are attributed to COVID-19.

First is that Saskatchewan as a whole faced, whether it’s youth suicide or obviously you want to make sure that you are isolated and that whether it’s the drug issue in many northern communities, the you are not presenting any danger to anybody else. And that mental health challenges that people are speaking about right includes my elderly mother, my aunts, and of course, some of my across the province, Mr. Speaker. Some of those challenges were other family members. not addressed.

    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

Her mother, Michelle Fredbjornson, says the doc- tors think Jacey passed away from an adult ver- sion of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) known as Sudden Adult Death Syn- drome (SADS) or Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS) when it happens in adults while they sleep.

The 25-year-old was deeply passionate about many things—music, fam- ily, friends, hunting, wood- working—but her love of barrel racing, horse riding, rodeo, and rounding up cattle were so strong that she lived and breathed the cowgirl life. For that reason, the Jacey Lee Memorial Race will be held in Spy Hill on Satur- day, August 28 in memory of Jacey.
