Mrs. Sarich: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s truly an honour and a privilege to rise today to introduce to you and through you to all Members of the Legislative Assembly eight guests seated in the public gallery. They are strong leaders within the Ismaili community. I would ask if they would please rise as I mention their names: Mr. Ayaz Bhanji, president, Ismaili Council for Edmonton; Mrs. Zahra Somani, honorary secretary, Ismaili Council for Edmonton; Ms Zafira Bhaloo, deputy communications co-ordinator, Ismaili Council for Edmonton; Mr. Irfan Kherani, youth representative of the Ismaili community; Mr. Amin Valani, leadership from the Belle Rive Jamatkhana congregation; Mr. Husseinali Alibhai, leadership from the Belle Rive Jamatkhana congregation; Mrs. Tamizah Valji, chairman, Ismaili Tariqah and Religious Education Board for Edmonton; and Ms Shameen Ladhani, honorary secretary, Ismaili Tariqah and Religious Education Board for Edmonton. I would now ask that the Legislative Assembly warmly give them the traditional welcome.

Thank you.
