This Member’s Statement was presented by Yvonne Jones in the House of Assembly on April 30, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Cartwright-L'Anse au Clair
MS. JONES: I rise today to recognize Master Warrant Officer Rodney Chubbs from L’Anse au Clair on his 1 Canadian Air Division Commander’s Commendation.

Mr. Speaker, Master Warrant Officer Chubbs received this award for his assistance in a Canadian Border Services investigation with respect to the illegal distribution of alcohol and tobacco in Goose Bay, Labrador.

Mr. Speaker, Master Warrant Officer Chubbs is employed by the NCO IC 5 Wing Military Police detachment. He has demonstrated sensational commitment, leadership and professionalism in support of combating smuggling in the area. His thorough investigation and eye for detail made him an exceptional representative of our Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence.

Mr. Speaker, Master Warrant Officer Chubbs has a passion for serving our Queen, our country and ensuring that justice prevails. This is evident through not only this award but through other awards he has received for his services in the past, one of particular note was for the Soldier of the Year, which was presented by the Chief of Defence Staff General Rick Hillier.

Master Warrant Officer Chubbs is currently training to go to Afghanistan next February which he is eagerly anticipating.

Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to recognize Master Warrant Officer Chubbs on his professional accomplishments, and I ask all members of this House to join me in congratulating him on his recent commendation and on wishing him all the best in his future endeavours, especially on his mission to Afghanistan.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
