Canadians work hard for every dollar they earn | June 4, 2026

That is why taxpayer spending deserves careful scrutiny. Recent Order Paper Question responses show average executive bonuses at several Crown corporations. At a time when many Canadians are dealing with higher food costs, housing pressure, and tighter household budgets, it is fair to ask whether government bonuses and spending decisions are delivering real value for taxpayers. Public money should be handled carefully, transparently, and with clear results for Canadians.

Life has become unaffordable | June 3, 2026

Food Banks Canada’s latest Poverty Report Card warns that “something fundamental has shifted in Canada,” with nearly one in four Canadians now living in a food-insecure household. That means millions of Canadians are struggling to access the food they need. Food bank visits have doubled across the country since 2020, and one in five food bank clients are now employed. As the report makes clear, a job is no longer enough to guarantee stability. Canadians should judge every party by one simple question: are their policies making life better, more affordable, and more secure?

Day on the Range | June 3, 2026

It was a great morning at the Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus’ 13th Annual Day on the Range, bringing together Members of Parliament and staff from across the political spectrum to learn more about the shooting sports and responsible firearms use.

It was a pleasure to spend time with colleagues and enjoy some friendly competition!

This year’s CPC interns | June 2, 2026

I had the pleasure of meeting this year’s new group of interns. One message stood out clearly: young Canadians are ready to step up, serve their communities, and defend the Canadian dream.

It is encouraging to see such a passionate, driven, and ambitious group of young people committed to carrying forward the principles and values we stand for as Conservatives.

Wine Growers Association | June 1, 2026

Essex–Windsor is home to some of the finest wineries in Canada, yet Liberal taxes and red tape continue to make it harder for this industry to grow, invest, and create jobs. Our local wineries should be supported, not punished.

I was pleased to meet with the Wine Growers Association of Canada to discuss the major contributions Canada’s wine industry makes to our local economy, tourism, and small businesses. We also discussed how Conservatives can continue pushing the Liberal government to stop burdening wineries with unnecessary barriers that discourage investment and hurt competitiveness.
