7 November 2025

Parliamentary Week in Review:

Bill C-3 (Citizenship Act Amendments)：Bill C-3 passed third reading this week despite Conservative opposition. Our caucus has consistently warned about the loopholes it will create and the serious long-term consequences it may bring for the integrity of Canada’s citizenship system.

Federal Budget Announcement：The Liberal government released its new budget—full of promises but offering little to ease the crushing cost of living. Conservatives continue to call for an affordable budget for an affordable life—one that limits reckless spending, reduces the deficit, and does not mortgage the future of the next generation.

In my budget speech, I shared what many Canadians feel every day：

1. When you earn money, you’re taxed.
2. When you spend money, you’re taxed.
3. And when you save money, you’re still taxed.

Cowichan Land Claim Question：

I rose in the House for the third time to question this government’s silence and lack of leadership on the Cowichan land-claim ruling—an issue that has left homeowners and businesses in my riding deeply concerned about their property rights and economic stability.

Community Engagement in Ottawa：

I was pleased to meet with Richmond’s firefighters attending the Canadian Legislative Conference in Ottawa, and to welcome them on Parliament Hill. It was also a pleasure to meet Jennifer Jones, Rotary International President for 2022–23, together with Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre and fellow parliamentarians at a special reception celebrating Rotary’s community leadership and global service.

Constituency Week Ahead：

Next week is a parliamentary break week. I will be back in Richmond Centre – Marpole meeting residents, attending local events, and engaging directly with the community on the issues that matter most.

As we head into Remembrance Day, let us pause to remember and honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and peace.
