I had a productive conversation with the CFIB about the challenges and opportunities facing small businesses, especially those in Kitchener Centre, where entrepreneurs and family-run operations are the backbone of our local economy.
From rising costs to regulatory burdens, our small business community needs real support to thrive. I’m committed to being a strong voice for them in Parliament and working toward policies that empower innovation, reduce red tape, and ensure fair competition.
Thank you to the CFIB for your continued advocacy and for bringing the voices of small business owners to the Hill.

Innovation is Born in Canada But Jobs Leave for the U.S.
The Waterloo Region has some of the brightest biomedical engineering minds anywhere in the world. We must remove regulatory burdens so that commercialization and job creation can flourish in Canada, rather than see it move to the United States.
