Thank you, Kildonan-St. Paul for re-electing me as your member of Parliament. It is an honour to represent you in the House of Commons and deliver results for our community.
Now is the time to come together and heal the divisions in our country. There is no challenge too great when we are united as Canadians with a common purpose. I will be working together with my colleagues from all parties to defeat COVID-19 and get us back to normal. That is my priority and commitment to you as the member of Parliament for Kildonan-St. Paul.
I want to hear from you. What are your concerns and priorities for your family, our community and for Canada?

On Fri., Oct. 29 from 3 to 6 p.m., I will be hosting a Halloween drive-rhru event for families in the parking lot of my office at 27 Red River Blvd. West.
Bring the kids in costume to get a treat bag after school or before dinner. Public health guidelines will be followed.

Several community members have reached out to my office on the issue of large-scale medical marijuana grow-ops and the negative impacts pungent odours, additional traffic, and security concerns, are having on residents in local neighbourhoods.
These large-scale medical marijuana grow-ops have been connected to criminal activity in other provinces and I am working with all levels of government to prevent organized crime from taking root in Kildonan-St. Paul.
The Trudeau government has yet to respond to my calls to change Health Canada regulations to close the loophole that allows individuals to grow medical marijuana in residential homes far in excess of what would be necessary for personal medical use.
We know medical marijuana can be grown safely; however, poor regulation from the federal government has negatively impacted the quality of life of residents in Kildonan-St. Paul.
This week a measure is before a city council committee that would support residents and regulate large-scale medical marijuana grow-ops.
I am pleased to see the City of Winnipeg move forward with local measures to address this concern. I will always stand up for safer neighbourhoods for residents of Kildonan-St. Paul.
