TOP THREE ISSUES IN THIS ELECTION: Over the pandemic, Canadians have learned just how much we can accomplish when we work together. As your next MPP, I'm committed to support:

Building more affordable housing units by reintroducing Inclusionary Zoning and funding local projects. The housing and affordability crises have impacted our communities like never before and while Doug Ford focuses on helping his developer friends, I am committed to pairing economic growth and affordable housing across Renfrew County.

Repealing Bill 124, increasing the wages of our health-care heroes and providing sustainable funding to key innovative programs like RCVTAC. As a board director with Arnprior Regional Health, I know just how important it is to provide our seniors with the care that they deserve, and to do that we need to invest in the people, infrastructure and universal access across the riding.

Hiring more teachers, EAs and mental health workers in our schools. I will support the Ontario Liberal plan to reintroduce Grade 13, cap class sizes at 20 students, eliminate academic streaming and drop Ford's failed mandatory e-learning requirements.
