Dear Constituents,
The House was in session last week, and Conservatives made significant progress for tourism and other hard-hit sectors.
Defending Women’s Rights
On Monday, I joined my Conservative colleagues in commemorating International Women’s Day, in recognition of the ongoing fight for women’s rights and of the invaluable contributions women make to our society.
This year, the issue of sexual misconduct in the military – and allegations of a cover-up by the government – weighed heavily upon us all. The brave women of Canada’s Armed Forces deserve better, and we are fighting for reforms to better protect those who have served our country.
