Parliament resumed on September 16, and I continue to stand up for Canadians struggling with the price of food, gas, heating, and housing. On September 18, Conservatives gave notice of a motion of non-confidence and are calling on the other opposition parties to join Conservatives and vote to bring down the government so that Canadians can have a federal election this fall.
I have returned to the Finance Committee where I will have the opportunity to hold this government to account for increasing taxes, excessive spending, and ongoing deficits. The Finance Committee is currently studying the current Government’s proposed increase in the capital gains inclusion rate. This tax increase does not only affect the “ultra rich”, but it is also a tax increase that will be paid by doctors, small businesses, farmers, homebuilders, seniors, and many other middle-class Canadians. It will discourage investment in Canada at a time when Canada desperately needs investment to reverse declining per capita GDP which has left Canadians poorer than they were ten years ago. Canadians are encouraged to write to the Finance Committee about how the proposed capital gains tax will affect them. Contact my Calgary office for more information.
I saw many people at community events this fall. Thank you, to the local organizations for inviting me to participate. I attended the third Annual Canadian Walk for Veterans. I also spoke at, and participated in, local community and cultural celebrations, including Hong Culture Day, the LDS Church Annual Corn Bust, the Silver Springs Botanical Gardens Celebration, and the Hawkwood Fall Festival.
It remains my honour to represent you at the House of Commons as your Member of Parliament.
Feedback from Calgarians is very important to me. If you would like to share your thoughts with me on national issues, please feel welcome to contact me through my Calgary office.
