Incredibly grateful to join my local community news station with Carla Fitzsimmons to talk about WHY I got into politics and how I’m using my Private Member’s Bill, Bill C-240, to help turn those values into real action for our community.
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to draft, table, and advance my own legislation that reflects the needs of our communities and Canada. The drug crisis is something that not only affects Kitchener Centre, but all 343 ridings across this country.
Take a listen as I walk viewers through how my Bill strikes the right balance between getting tough on drug trafficking while ensuring accountability is paired with meaningful rehabilitation in our justice system.
How has the drug crises impacted you? Leave a comment or DM me and let me know.

xploitation, violence, and addiction in our communities. A large piece of the puzzle is traffickers preying on the vulnerable, the impact is being felt across Waterloo Region. Law enforcement is working tirelessly to keep our streets safe, but failed federal policies have placed unnecessary strain on the very officers we rely on. We need stronger enforcement after arrest, real consequences for traffickers and drug dealers, and meaningful supports for survivors and those seeking recovery. Our children are not commodities and our community deserves better.
