Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., Jasper Place Public Library Terminal #III, Edmonton, Alberta

February IIIrd, MMXV

Hon. Gordon Dirks, B. Ed., M. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow

Dear Gordon:

Always there for farming families when they need him as Agriculture Minister, the Hon. Verlyn Olson, MLA Ist ran for office in MM (2000) like I did under the leadership of The Rt. Hon. Charles Joseph Clark, PC in that federal writ under the Progressive Conservative banner. Luckily for voters, I failed & so did Verlyn. However, he had the drive to run provincially & has been a very decent caucus & cabinet member. Not to mention, Verlyn is a good family man & a great human being. Wanting to make sure farmers have proper insurance when livestock falters in terms of price so they can feed their families, Verlyn goes to the mat for them.

"This program was pioneered in Alberta, in partnership with producers. Expanding this insurance option to other provinces will help the western Canadian livestock industry protect itself from significant price downturns while also ensuring the program is delivered efficiently."

Alta. Legislative Assembly Sixty,

Rory
