I wanted to share the remarks I gave earlier this evening as we celebrate the first night of Hanukkah while mourning the loss of innocent life in Australia. Light over darkness. #Hanukkah

It’s becoming harder to even find the words. Sending my love to Jews in Australia, Winnipeg South Centre, and around the country. May the blessings of being around loved ones for the first night of Hanukkah this evening help bring some measure of joy and comfort in the shadows of this awful attack.

As the House gets set to rise for the holidays, I took a moment at the end of our Industry Committee meeting yesterday to thank members of all Parties, political staff, our analysts and clerk, as well as the Parliamentary administration for their service & contributions to Canada & our democracy.

This evening, I hosted the Prairie North Caucus Social to give members and staff the chance to relax and enjoy some time together before the holidays. No Manitoba social event is complete without Honey Dill Sauce, so my team brought some out all the way from Winnipeg!

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago. Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Earlier this week, I stood in the House of Commons to celebrate civically-engaged students from Winnipeg South Centre. I’m proud of their leadership and dedication to community.

This past weekend I announced $250,000 in funding to Manitoba Theatre for Young People (MTYP).

Earlier this month I met with the Chief of the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service, Christian Schmidt, and the Deputy Chief of Paramedic Operations and Training, Ryan Sneath.

Recently, I met with Britt Moberg, daughter of Winnipegger Earl Moberg who went missing two years ago. Britt and my constituent, Ashleigh Mitchell, have dedicated the past few years to advocating for dementia patients and their families.

True honour to chat with Jeremy Hansen in Ottawa today. He is just a few months away from proudly representing Canada on a mission to circumnavigate the moon! Thank you for all of your contributions to our country and your inspiring leadership!

It was really nice returning to Ecole Robert H. Smith last week. It is where I began my teaching career and continues to serve our community as a strong primary school.

Questioning the Prime Minister’s loyalty to Canada because he’s overseas securing trade deals isn’t the kind of serious leadership Canadians expect.

On November 16th, I joined the Prime Minister and my colleagues in commemorating Louis Riel Day. This year marked the 140th anniversary of his execution. Louis Riel was a champion of the rights of the Métis and the principles of fairness, justice, and unity.

While in Winnipeg I met and took questions from the Earl Grey Press Corps. This group of students meets several times a week and publishes a school newspaper. It was great to meet such an engaged and civically minded group of young people working on developing impressive media literacy skills.

Last night I attended the Local Legends Concert at the Riverview Community Centre in support of the their renovations - which I was very proud to help support with nearly $1 M of federal funding.

As part of Budget 2025, our government is launching the Climate Competitiveness Strategy. This strategy will strengthen our economy and build a more sustainable future.

I was pleased to announce that Build Canada Homes is accepting Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for the partial redevelopment of the Naawi-Oodena property which will accelerate affordable housing delivery right here in Winnipeg.

It is always special to return to the South Osborne Legion for Remembrance Day. Standing alongside veterans, their families, and community members, I was honoured to lay a wreath and take a moment to reflect on the immense sacrifices made for our freedom. #LestWeForget

Thank you to École LaVérendrye for the invitation to take part in your Remembrance Day assembly. Hearing students read In Flanders Fields in both English and French, listening to the choir, and watching each class lay their wreaths was an important reminder of why we remember.

Weekly recap, filmed on Friday: ✅ Presented Budget 2025 (check out my other posts to learn more). ✅ Met with Winnipeg’s Chief of Police to discuss public safety. ✅ Connected with stakeholders, including Kaitlyn Mitchell to discuss banning the export of live horses for slaughter.

Yesterday we honoured Viola Desmond, a trailblazer for civil rights and a symbol of courage. Her image on Canada’s $10 bill, launched in 2018 at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights right here in Winnipeg, is a lasting reminder of her impact. #ViolaDesmondDay #CanadianMuseumForHumanRights

Really cool and rare experience on the flight home tonight with a beautiful display of the northern lights!

Sports play such a big role in shaping our culture and identity. For me, the Toronto Blue Jays have always been an emotional link to my Dad. We watched a lot of games together. GO JAYS GO! #gojaysgo

It was a pleasure to host the German and Norwegian Defence Ministers in Ottawa. The global political landscape is shifting more intensely than any period since the Second World War.

Engaging day with residents in Hay River, Northwest Territories. Visits included stops at Town Hall with the Mayor and Council, coffee with locals, and simulator exercises at the Martine Transportation Services where they are training the future of our Coast Guard and beyond. #nwt

Incredibly grateful to see the release of hostages today. It marks a critically important step towards a more peaceful future in the Middle East - one I am increasingly hopefully can be realized.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we give thanks for our families, neighbours, and communities that bring us together. May your day be filled with warmth, kindness, and gratitude. #Thanksgiving #Thankful

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we proudly honor Betty Farrally and Gweneth Lloyd—two visionary women who transformed the Canadian arts scene by founding the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. From 1949 to 1957, they made their home at 164 Harrow St, right here in our riding.
