It is downright offensive to our democracy for Ministers of the Trudeau government to refuse to appear at the Parliamentary Health Committee to answer the most pressing questions on the failure to roll out vaccines in a timely manner. Meanwhile, these same ministers are merrily preoccupied with the Liberal Party’s virtual convention. What an appalling case of MISPLACED PRIORITIES.

B.C.‘s iconic Westcoast salmon fishery is being badly mismanaged by the Trudeau Liberals. Delays. Obfuscation. Lack of proper consultation with stakeholders. Meanwhile, a billion dollar a year industry is being lost as we struggle to emerge from the COVID pandemic. Why isn’t Minister of Fisheries Bernadette Jordan listening to the angling industry’s pleas? And why won’t she act in accordance with the science??

For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 The Bible

I’m looking forward to hosting a Facebook Live Virtual Townhall with Dr. Joanne MacLean, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley. We will discuss UFV’s future and its contributions to the community, how to inspire students to take up leadership roles, and how the federal government’s policies impact UFV and its students. There will also be a time for audience questions that can be sent in advance or during the live event. The Facebook Live will take place on Wednesday, April 7 at 7:00PM. See you there!

We need food security in Canada. It requires a strong Canadian manufacturing sector, in every region of our country. Today, I reconnected with Kathleen Sullivan from Food and Beverage Canada to review the priorities of its members. Thanks for the informative discussion Kathleen!

It’s time for action. If the Liberals were serious about Canadian security they would ban Huawei.

I would like to wish a Happy Diwali to all those celebrating this event in my riding of Abbotsford and across our country. Diwali is the Festival of Lights, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

Remembrance Day 2020. Lest we forget.

On Remembrance Day we reflect on those who served our country in the name of freedom.

My colleague, MP Michael Chong, is the Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs. In this excerpt of a recent speech, he debunks Justin Trudeau’s belief that Canada is a country without any core values.
