Week One Recap

What a whirlwind of a first week!

It was been busy, exciting and has made me proud to be Canadian.

Here’s are three things made me proud to be on this team this week:

-        Tuesday, Mark Carney and the Liberal Team made an announcement in the Irving Shipyard in Halifax.

o   First, the location is significant, if you have ever crossed the bridge into Halifax, you drive down Barrington Street and you see this impressive and very long building. Our shipbuilding industry has been supported by multiple governments and has developed world class facilities in Nova Scotia, Quebec and British Columbia.

o   Second, as the daughter of an RCAF Pilot and an RCAF Medical Logistics Expert, rebuilding, rearming and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces is very important to me. I was able to note to the Team, the significance of this announcement.

-        Friday, we made an announcement that has been a crucial aspect of my career for past 15 years – Corridors, Trade, Infrastructure and Supply Chain

o   At the Van Horne Institute, one of our clients always emphasized the importance of collaborating to compete. The new Trade Diversification Corridor Fund will help markets, like Calgary, to strengthen our Inland Port and continue to improve networks to get our goods to market around the world and within Canada.

-        On Saturday and Sunday, despite the snow and the cold weather, we collected signatures, dropped of lawn signs and door knocked around Spruce Cliff, Glamorgan, Glendale, Strathcona and Springborough.

Looking forward to week two!

Canada Strong!
