Mr. Speaker, I have heard it said that stories create communities. For decades, my community has been home to three of the best storytellers in Canada. They are journalists representing print, radio and television who have signed off on their last assignments. Jim Crichton anchored CTV News Windsor for 21 years. Anne Jarvis was an award-winning reporter and columnist for the Windsor Star for 32 years, and Tony Doucette spent 38 years at CBC, including 16 years as the host of Windsor Morning. Together, they were the pen, the voice and the trusted source for tens of thousands who tuned in or turned the page to make sense of our world. Anne said it best: This job was an adventure every day. I’ve covered prime ministers and premiers,... But often, those who inspired me most were ordinary people who enriched the community in all kinds of ways. I thank Anne, Jim and Tony for sharing their talents and enriching our community by helping us to tell our stories.
