Dear Calgary-Currie,
The Spring Legislative session wrapped up in mid-May with a record-breaking number of bills up for debate in the waning weeks. Election and campaign rules were prominent following the introduction of Bills 50 and 54. As a member of the opposition, I raised significant concerns about the elimination of the codes of conduct for all municipal city councils and the lowered threshold by which citizens can prompt a referendum. It raises an example of how the UCP government is not addressing what I hear is most important from constituents: healthcare, Canadian unity, and economic resilience in the face of an unpredictable presidency to the south.
Thank you to all who reached out to me by phone, email, and letters, sharing your serious concerns on issues ranging from continued increases in cost-of-living prices and surgical wait times, to the reversal of the coal mining ban along the Easter Slopes and the introduction of no-fault auto insurance. Please know the Alberta New Democrat caucus is steadfast in its commitment to stand up for common sense and our shared values as both Albertans and Canadians. Your stories and voices matter and my colleagues and I will continue to hold the UCP government accountable.
Now that the legislative session is over, it’s time to shift our focus to what makes our community truly special.
One of the great pleasures of being your MLA is having the opportunity, each summer, to connect with you at community-led events across our beautiful, diverse riding. These events would not take place without the energy and commitment of grassroots, community volunteers. I look forward to seeing you out in the community!
Lastly, congratulations to students, teachers, and school staff for what I hope was a successful and fruitful school year.
