I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
In November, I spoke and laid a wreath at the Bowness Legion Remembrance Day service where we honored those who served, those who continue to serve, and the fallen. I was honored to speak at the Holodomor Commemoration in Calgary. I visited the Foothills Academy’s Grade 9 student classroom to talk about being a Member of Parliament and the history and theory of the Parliamentary system.
This winter, I stood up for Canadians in both the House of Commons Chamber and at the Finance Committee. Last spring, Parliament voted to order the government to produce unredacted documents related to Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), a “Green Slush Fund” where whistleblowers revealed that connected insiders voted to give $400 million of public money to their own companies, and hand them over to the RCMP. The government failed to do so. Each of my Conservative colleagues has spoken in the House of Commons on this very important motion to release the documents.
The Finance Committee has studied the effects of the Capital Gains Tax increase on Canadians and undertaken pre-budget consultations. This government’s tax policy is killing jobs by driving investment and skilled Canadian workers out of the country. Business investment in capital like machinery, equipment, training, and intellectual property is shrinking, and productivity is falling. My Conservative colleagues and I will name a Tax Reform Task Force of entrepreneurs, inventors, farmers, and workers to design a tax cut that will allow Canadians to earn powerful pay cheques and pensions and cut the paperwork and bureaucracy in the tax system by at least 20%.
Feedback from Calgarians is very important to me, please feel welcome to contact me through my Calgary office.
It remains my honour to represent you at the House of Commons as your Member of Parliament.
