I know that many constituents are concerned about safety of their communities. On Wednesday, our caucus invited ministers to attend our meeting to discuss crime, the drug overdose epidemic, street safety, and the homelessness crisis from a BC perspective.

I've received many messages from concerned constituents over the past 24 hours, asking me about the standing ovation connected to Charlie Kirk in yesterday's session in the House of Commons. Please see my statement on the matter.

This week I joined my fellow Members of Parliament in the Liberal Environment and Climate Caucus, an initiative spearheaded by my colleagues @ericstpierre.bsky.social and Shannon Miedema, where we discussed advancing Canada’s climate commitments to build a clean, sustainable energy future.

Please see this joint statement from the Canadian Pride Caucus. No student should have to go to school in fear.

I condemn the Israeli government's further escalation of the humanitarian horror in Gaza in recent days, including declaring their intent to violently clear Palestinians from Gaza City, and bombing a residential neighbourhood in the sovereign nation of Qatar, in violation of international law.

Today, we were thrilled to host MP Ernie Klassen (@ernieklassen-mp.bsky.social)‬ at our head office in Burnaby, giving him a tour of our office and programs as well as demonstrations of our assistive technology. [1/2]

When we invest in our children, we invest in the future of our country. 640 new child care spaces across B.C. will save families thousands of dollars and strengthen the economy for everyone. 🇨🇦

Last week I joined my colleague & friend Ernie Klassen’s community BBQ in White Rock–South Surrey. Great to connect with constituents, meet former MP Gordie Hogg & spend time with community members. Conversations like these help us build stronger together.

Please see my statement on the Air Canada flight attendants' strike above.

We recently announced a significant pay raise for our armed forces, up to 20%. Additional pay benefits tied to years of service, frequent moves, and separation from family are also being made available. This raise is part of our ongoing effort to reward their valuable service to this country.

My statement on Canada-U.S. trade:

August 1 is Emancipation Day. Slavery was once practiced throughout the British colonies, including Canada. On this day in 1834, it was finally outlawed. Let's continue the work of dismantling racism, while recognizing the resilience of Black communities in the face of injustices past and present.

This week, Surrey's Salmon Habitat Restoration Project celebrated its 30th season of work! For thousands of years salmon have been critical to those living on this land, and I was happy to join in celebrating efforts to protect and maintain that relationship with nature.

On Sunday, I attended the 1st Annual Culture Night, hosted by C-FACE (Folk Art + Culture Exchange). So many incredible dancers put on a performance with roots reaching all around the world, and provided a fantastic showcase of the strength and beauty to be found in Surrey's diverse communities.

I had the pleasure of attending the open house at Buena Vista Montessori Preschool! Local educators Angie Boparai and Sandy Hans stepped in to lead a new chapter for the school. It was a pleasure getting to know them, and I wish them all the best in this new venture.

Here's to one more beautiful year of Pride Ride!

Last Friday I joined the White Rock Pride Society for another year of Pride Ride! Together we decorated our vehicles and our selves, and cruised through White Rock to celebrate love in all its colours.

Thank you Minister Maninder Sidhu, for the important discussion at the Surrey Board of Trade and South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce to discuss the future of Canadian trade - investing and supporting local businesses. Looking forward to continued collaboration to build a prosperous future.

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) was just improved again this year! Families are now eligible for: • Up to $7,997 per child under the age of 6 • Up to $6,748 per child aged 6-17 We recognize the hard work families put in every day- and we're committed to providing policies that reflect that effort.

It's time to build one strong national economy, rather than thirteen. • Accelerating projects which build Canada up • Breaking down trade barriers while preserving our identity • Unlocking our nation's full potential.

Investing in innovation means investing in Canada's future. This investment will help Canadian researchers tackle the biggest challenges of our time - and drive real progress in our communities. Let's continue building a more inclusive, competitive, and resolute economy together.

Ongoing until September 2, the Canada Strong Pass Canada opens the doors to Canada’s national parks, museums, galleries, and historic sites. Enjoy Canada’s marvels, ideas, activities to cherish with family and friends. Make the most of this opportunity while it lasts!

The #Liberal Pacific Caucus is meeting in Kelowna this week, welcoming dozens of local partners and industry leaders from across BC to discuss how we can continue delivering real impact for British Columbians.

Hello Bluesky! I'm looking forward to connecting with my fellow Canadians here, especially those from my home in South Surrey-White Rock. Let's build Canada together!

The new Vancouver Sky Train is OPEN! Canada’s new government is connecting the City, working alongside municipal and provincial partners.
