I spoke with the US Ambassador to Canada and Parliamentary Secretary to the PM about the serious challenges facing the mold making industry in #CKL last week.
It is vital that residents of our region have a voice in Ottawa that can have these conservations face to face.

- We’re Doing It Anyway”: Liberal Minister Dismisses Opposition to ALTO Rail
00:00 - Canada is the only G20 country in a recession after a decade of Liberal policies. Investment is leaving & Canada's agri-food sector is losing ground. Yet the govt continue to ignore the broader trend. Check out the CFIB graphic in this video. It tells the real story.
00:00 - Toured the Halifax Grain Elevator last week! This facility is the last ocean elevator in Atlantic Canada and a key gateway for Canadian exports like soybeans and wood pellets. With 140k tonnes of storage and the deepest berths on the East Coast, it’s a vital asset for exports!
- A technical recession is still a recession when Canadians feel it in their paycheques, grocery bills, and household budgets. Instead of debating definitions, it's time for the Liberals to recognize the economic reality facing Canadians and present a plan to reverse it.
00:00 - Happy Italian Heritage Day Chatham-Kent—Leamington! June 2nd marks 80 years since Italy became a republic in 1946 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
- Happy World Milk Day! Today I was joined by @JohnBarlowMP @CarolAnsteyMP and @NovaScotiaESM as we visited Van Vulpen Farms in beautiful Nappan, Nova Scotia! Today let us celebrate our great Canadian dairy industry, honour our farmers, and promote sustainable milk production!
- Closing the Nappan Research Farm after more than a century of service, along with six other agricultural research sites, threatens innovation, productivity, and food security. Canadian farmers depend on this research. Reverse these closures.
00:00 - Farmers with land in the path of the ALTO high speed rail came to Ottawa to raise their unequivocal “NO” to the project! They cited not only the irreparable harm it would do to the surrounding agricultural land, but also the astronomical price tag. Remember the Mirabel failure?
- Conservative MPs call on the Minister of AAFC to immediately halt and reverse the Liberal govt's decision to close seven AAFC research & development centres & farm sites, which is impacting Canada’s food security and will harm Canada’s food production for years to come.
- Here are three grateful customers of @porterairlines direct flight service from Windsor to Ottawa. Thank you Porter Airlines! @HarbGill was also in attendance but had to leave for an important meeting.
- We had a great start to GLSL conference in Hamilton focused on the Fresh Coast Economic Corridor along the Great Lakes. It was a pleasure speaking with representatives from the public and private sector including MPP @MurphyGallagher and Ontario Agent-General @EarlProvost
- Its Vyshyvanka Day and I was honoured to commemorate it with Parliamentary colleagues, staff, and honoured guests such as H.E. Andrii Plakhotniuk, Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada, and Alexandra Chyczij, President of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
