Dear friends,

I am back in Ottawa for the fall Parliamentary session, and I am excited to be named to the Standing Committee on Finance. I welcome the opportunity to hold this government to account for its wasteful spending.

Two years ago, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh signed onto a costly coalition with Prime Minister Trudeau’s government which hiked taxes, increased food costs, doubled housing costs and increased crime. Singh announced that he would end their Agreement and will instead analyze future votes on their own merit. Since then, the Conservatives put forward 2 motions declaring non-confidence in the current Liberal government. Unfortunately, the Bloc and the NDP voted both times to keep this current government in power for longer. My colleagues and I will continue to fight for Canadians to vote for an immediate carbon tax election.

Shameless insider dealings run rampant with newly appointed advisor to the Liberal Leader, Mark Carney benefiting from government decisions. The government delays on taking action to address sexual assault cases in the military. Meanwhile, nine years of capital flight has made Canadians poorer. See my statements in Parliament here: 

When will the government force Carney to disclose his conflicts of interest?:

This fall, in Calgary I enjoyed attending community and cultural events. Thank you, to the local organizations and their volunteers for inviting me to participate. I also had the opportunity to honour veterans and do a bit of door knocking in the community.

It remains my honour to represent you at the House of Commons as your Member of Parliament.
