**We thank all for applying, however only those selected for an interview will be contacted. **
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak in the House during the debate on Wynn’s law.
This legislation will require that prosecutors disclose a bail applicant’s criminal history at a bail hearing.
By closing this loophole in the Criminal Code, this legislation could save lives and increase public safety.
But the Liberals have vowed to vote against this common-sense piece of legislation.
Sign this petition today to tell the Liberal government to support Wynn’s law: https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-712
Constable David Wynn was murdered by a career criminal out on bail, whose criminal history wasn’t disclosed at the bail hearing.
Currently, Canada’s Criminal Code doesn’t require the disclosure of a bail applicant’s criminal history.
Wynn’s law would close this loophole.
I’ve already received feedback from hundreds of you that think Wynn’s law is common-sense legislation.
Shamefully, the Liberal government has vowed to defeat this legislation.
If you want to see Wynn’s law passed, send the Liberals a message and sign this e-petition today: https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-712
Edmonton’s Liberal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi talks a good game but he’s failing to deliver the goods on his promised projects.
Only one of 127 infrastructure projects announced by the Liberals has started construction.
Nothing has started in Edmonton.
In the House of Commons, I demanded to know why. Sohi evaded the question.

This Christmas season my thoughts are with my constituents of Edmonton Griesbach and all Albertans that have been negatively impacted by the growing jobs crisis.
I’ll continue to urge the Liberal government to deliver real solutions to help get Albertans back to work.
This heartrending video on the 1944 deportation of Crimean Tatars was created by survivors and their descendants in Ukraine.
Today in the House of Commons, my Private Member’s Bill, C-306, the Crimean Tatar Deportation (“Sürgünlik”) Memorial Day Act will be debated. Visit here to see the full text of my bill.
Canada’s formal recognition of this genocidal act will bring Canadians, Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars closer together, and in this spirit I am hoping to have the support of all Members of Parliament.
On this solemn occasion, we remember all the victims of the Holodomor and stand with Ukrainian-Canadians and Ukrainians worldwide to share in your grief and hope.

I’m so pleased that the all-party Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group has endorsed my bill, C-306.
Bill C-306 condemns a dark chapter in history and renews Canada’s principled stance in support of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
