ch, including any reports of the Chief Science Advisor, and any other matter which the House refers to the standing committee. Innovation and technology is a vital part of the economy in Kitchener Centre and in the broader Waterloo Region, and science and research are of critical importance to all Canadians. I humbly and proudly accept this important role and look forward to playing my part to improve the health of Canadians, improve the environment, drive innovation and economic growth and improve the quality of life for all Canadians.

mall business daring to dream. We must invest in key industries—green technology, the arts and creative sectors, advanced manufacturing, MedTech, deep tech, AI, and more—we need to implement policies that empower our people, and drive investment, ensuring our economy is sustainable and future-proof. Today our community has an opportunity to forge a new path ahead. We are well positioned to do so. We must support the initiatives of the leaders of our industries on a federal level, to ensure a prosperous future for Kitchener Centre.

touring their beautiful new facility. I am keen to spend time in the community and to meet those I represent. If you have an upcoming event, let our office know through our website and if we can, we’ll get it on the calendar.

increasing expenses. Affordability isn’t just a word; it is the difference between stability and struggle, between hope and hardship. During the campaign, I had the opportunity to tour the Waterloo Region Food Bank. While I was deeply impressed by their efficiency and dedication, I found myself grappling with an unsettling reality—the sheer scale at which such an operation is needed in our community. Between 2023 and 2024, the number of new households accessing a food hamper program for the first time skyrocketed by 210%. In that same period, 29,786 hampers were distributed to families in need—an increase of 109%. These staggering numbers are a direct consequence of the rising cost of living, forcing more and more people to turn to essential support services just to put food on the table. This isn’t just an economic issue; it’s a human one. It is a call to action—one that demands urgent and meaningful solutions to ensure that no family in Kitchener Centre or beyond has to struggle for their basic needs. We must forge policies that ease this pressure, ensuring less taxation, affordable housing, and stability for our communities and across Canada.
