As Parliament resumes sitting, the message from Canadians has been clear. It is time for action.
As the progressive opposition in Parliament, we have made it clear that we will be pushing for action on important issues such as the economy, health care, child care, climate change and making real progress on issues impacting on northern and aboriginal communities.
We have called on the government to reverse Conservative cuts to health care; to work with the Premiers to create affordable childcare spaces; to follow Alberta and Manitoba’s lead and commit to real action on climate change; to move quickly on establishing an inquiry on missing and murdered Indigenous women; and to stop the elimination of Canada Post home delivery.
The response from the Liberal government has been mixed. There has been significant movement on the inquiry. On the issue of Canada Post they have only put a moratorium on stopping home delivery while they study it.
I will be focusing on the key issues affecting our region such as health, education, housing and infrastructure.
A new Parliament. A new mandate. A real opportunity to make a difference for Canadians.
