Dear

Happy Stampede. After a long stretch in Ottawa this spring, it’s great to be back and spending time at all the great community events during Stampede.

My Conservative colleagues and I worked hard to hold the Liberal government accountable for its broken promises and failed economic policies. The cost of government is biding up the cost of necessities for Canadians and pushing up interest rates to the highest they have been in over 20 years.

Young Canadians are giving up on home ownership, while rent is unaffordable for many, and Canadians are increasingly relying on credit to buy groceries. Higher interest rates also threaten to add $1000 or more to homeowners when their mortgages renew.

I recently raised these issues in Parliament. You can view the videos here:

Housing and Inflation

Affordability and Housing

Mortgages

I also recently spoke on the government’s motion to permanently change the rules of the House of Commons to make virtual parliament permanent. Permanent changes to the rules of our democracy are usually only made by consensus between all parties. In this case, the Liberal government forced the changes through with a divided vote and under a “closure” motion that limited debate.

Hybrid parliament

I look forward to the next few months at home in Calgary, where I hope to see many of you at community events. If you are involved with a local organization and would like me to participate in an event in the riding, please contact my office with the details, and I will be pleased to attend if my schedule allows.
