Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 21 wordsI rise today to congratulate firefighter David Gamble on his retirement from the Oromocto Fire Department after 37 years of service.¹Thanks Claims · 98 wordsMr. Gamble has always had a reputation for doing things the right way. His uniform was meticulous, his tools were clean, his gear was organized, and 7:30 a.m. meant radio check time, no exceptions. According to his colleagues, it was largely thanks to his consistency and attention to detail that he was so dependable and trustworthy at work. Mr. Gamble demonstrated an old-fashioned work ethic in everything he did. His colleagues are not the only ones who have recognized his commitment to the job. In 2010, the Governor General awarded him with a Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal.² Thanks · 28 wordsNow, it is our turn to applaud his exceptional contribution. Please join me in thanking firefighter David Gamble for his dedication and professionalism over the past 37 years.Thanks
