We thank you heavenly Father for the gift that this
honourable member for St. Johns constituency is. He carries a great
responsibility in caring for our province to ensure things are handled justly
and equitably. May he not only look to you for guidance but may he also learn
to lean upon you for strength. Keep him healthy in his body, mind and soul. As
he could often be the target manipulations and bribes help him see through these
tactics so that the office he represents and his own reputation will be with
out repute. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.In addition to crime fighting focused on auto theft and organized crime, Gord has accomplished much on behalf of children and families.
