I officially declare Robyn Benson officially elected
as the National President of the PSAC.
[Applause]
Thank you brother
Benson, delegate 7 and I'll try this on for size
President of the PSAC
[Applause]
I have several people I need to thank
I need to thank and want to thank and
will always thank.
Brother Jérôme Turcq, my friend, my colleague
and one of the greatest leaders I know
and brother John MacLennan
for the courage to second my nomination.
And of course to all of the team that worked with me
And more specifically
to sister Corinna and sister Betty
coming out of retirement, sister Betty
and getting her life membership
and helping to raise me in this union
I am so proud of the PSAC
I am so proud of my region and my component
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart
But more specifically,
I thank each and every one of you in this room
and every member at home.
We have work, brothers and sisters.
This government is tearing apart our workplaces
and our communties.
And when we leave here we will be united
and we will work together.
Because it is about the members.
The members are this union.
Thank you very much.
[Applause]
