A convenience store robber gets house arrest. Where is the rehabilitation? If we’re serious about breaking cycles of crime and addiction, sentences must include real recovery. That’s what my Private Members’ Bill, C‑240, and MP Luc Berthold’s C‑231 aim to do.

Incredible courage from Katelynn Saengdala of Kitchener, who dove into a dangerous rip current to save a father and daughter in Lake Erie. Her selfless actions, even while recovering from an injury herself, are a powerful reminder of the bravery in our community.

Great conversation with the civics class at Eastwood Collegiate. Thoughtful questions, engaged students and a strong interest in how democracy works in practice. Always encouraging to see young people involved and curious.

My thoughts are with this WRPS officer - wishing him a speedy recovery. This is the reality of our drug crisis. My Private Member’s Bill, C-240 is about accountability, real rehabilitation and harsher consequences for large-scale fentanyl traffickers.

Recovery works best when the goal is clear: getting people drug‑free. Abstinence‑based treatment delivers real recovery, stability, and long‑term hope. My private member’s bill, C‑240, directs the system toward structured rehabilitation and measurable recovery outcomes.

Great to be at the political science showcase at the University of Waterloo. Impressive research, great questions and a lot of energy - its great to see students digging into these complex issues.

Keeping people in addiction and calling it compassion is not the answer. My private member’s bill, C-240, puts recovery first, walking alongside people no matter their path. Canadians deserve a system that removes obstacles to healing, not keeps them trapped.

There is no such thing as “safe drugs.” Government-funded supply keeps people trapped in addiction. My private member’s bill, C-240, pushes for recovery. Conservatives choose treatment, recovery, and hope. Canadians deserve a path to healing, not prolonged pain.

Another drug trafficking ring taken down by our brave officers doing the hard work to keep our communities safe. Over $1M in drugs, cash & weapons to be shipped overseas. That’s why my Private Member’s Bill, C-240, is needed to deliver real consequences and pathways to recovery.
