31 October 2025

Standing Up for Public Safety – This week, I spoke in the House on Bill C-14, a government bill copied halfway from the Conservatives’ “Jail Not Bail” (Bill C-242). I emphasized that the Liberal version only goes partway—missing key reforms our caucus has long championed to keep violent repeat offenders off the streets and protect law-abiding Canadians.

Holding Elites Accountable – Parliament passed a motion ordering Mark Carney’s Chief of Staff and the CEO of Brookfield to appear before the Ethics Committee to answer questions about conflicts of interest and potential tax avoidance. Canadians deserve transparency and integrity from those seeking to influence public policy.

Engaging with Our Community

• Richmond Cowichan Land Claim Information Session – On October 28, I attended the public meeting organized by the City of Richmond. Nearly 500 residents came to express deep concern about the court ruling’s impact on fee-simple property ownership and to call for government clarity and action.
• BC Children’s Hospital – Young Ambassador Program (YAP) – Joined the celebration recognizing 16 years of youth volunteerism and fundraising success. The YAP has raised an incredible $3.5 million to support children’s health. Congratulations to all volunteers and supporters!
• “Poppy Flag” Raising on Parliament Hill – Honoured to attend the first-ever ceremony marking remembrance of those who served and sacrificed for our freedom. Lest We Forget.

Looking Ahead – Next Week’s Federal Budget

Watch closely next week as the government tables its budget. Conservatives have called for an “affordable budget” that makes life more affordable for Canadians—by cutting hidden food taxes and other inflationary taxes, limiting reckless spending, and controlling deficits.

Be alert, as the Liberals might attempt to trigger a Christmas election to distract from their record of higher costs and broken promises.
