Thank you to Pictou Landing First Nation for hosting a beautiful ceremony in advance of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

Congratulations to Premier-Designate Tim Houston and Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservatives on a successful election campaign!

Whatever our difference in partisan stripe, I am cheering for you to succeed. Your success is all of our success.

August 11th, 2021 - Far too many Canadians can’t afford the medicine they need to be well - we are working to change that.

Today, PEI became the first province to sign an agreement with Canada’s Minister of Health Patty Hajdu and the federal government to accelerate the implementation of a national universal pharmacare system. I am hopeful that other provinces, including Nova Scotia, will soon be in a position to do the same.

New Affordable Childcare Agreement made with the Province of Nova Scotia!

Every child deserves the best possible start in life, and parents should have the ability to build both a family and a career. Yet, too many Canadians lack access to affordable, inclusive, and high quality childcare. The COVID-19 pandemic has also made clear that without access to childcare, parents - and women in particular - cannot fully participate in the workforce.
