Mr. Speaker, today I rise in this House as the new member for Calgary Midnapore. I would like to thank the constituents, my campaign team, and our volunteers for putting their trust in me and for their overwhelming support.
I appreciate my family for standing with me every step of the way. Without their love and support, I would not be here.
Young families in Calgary Midnapore, who are struggling to find work, express concern not only for their circumstances but also for their parents' as they age. We have a considerable number of seniors in our riding. We must continue to think of our seniors and how we can provide the best care.
In this recent by-election, my constituents expressed how they feel about the policies of the current Liberal government. They sent a message to the Prime Minister about the harmful carbon tax policy:
They do not want a carbon tax.
They sent a clear message to the Prime Minister about the jobs and investments fleeing our city and province:
He must work with the Conservatives and help people get back to work.
I will continue to do in this House what my constituents have elected me to do. I will continue to let the Prime Minister know how they feel—
