Obituaries — Boyd Matene

I regret to inform the House of the death on 23 June 2008 of senior security officer Boyd Matene, a member of the Parliamentary Service for almost 12 years. On behalf of this House, I desire to express our sense of the loss we have sustained and our sympathy with the relatives of the late staff member. I now ask members to stand with me and observe a period of silence as a mark of respect for his memory.

Honourable members stood as a mark of respect.
