I was pleased to host a roundtable discussion on the future on the Canadian Armed Forces. Participants all had valuable perspectives and insights on the topic. We had a great conversation about the many important issues facing our military and our national security.
It’s important to me that my constituents have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the Liberal government’s defence policy review to help ensure that it is truly reflective of Canadian values.
Canada needs a robust defence policy that ensures that our men and women in uniform have the support and resources they need to do their job and that our borders are secure.

The Liberal government’s budget is a real disappointment for Canadians who were looking for real action to create jobs and long-term economic prosperity.
The Liberal budget has no plan for jobs, borrows $29.4 billion and raises taxes on hard-working Canadians.
This week, I stood in the House of Commons to reaffirm our Conservative commitment to hard-working Canadians.
When our party was in power, we passed a law to allow workers to have a secret ballot when voting on whether or not to form a union.
We also passed a law that guaranteed more fiscal transparency in union books.
With the proposed Bill C-4, the Liberal government will repeal those good laws.
We believe that this is detrimental to hard-working Canadian union members, and we have heard that from the rank-and-file members themselves.
Check out the video. What do you think about this issue? I would love to hear your opinions.
