Biography

Thank you for visiting my website.

I am honoured to serve as the Member of Parliament for Winnipeg North and the NDP critic for Health and Persons with Disabilities.

I would like to thank you for placing you confidence in making me your Member of Parliament. In the last election, Canadians voted for change and they voted for New Democrats to balance that change.

In this Parliament, you can count on me to be in the House day-in and day-out fighting for the issues that matter to you and your family. Together with the rest of the NDP caucus, we're going to use every tool available to deliver on our plan, The Working Families First Agenda.

I invite you to learn more about my work in Parliament here on my MP website, by adding me as a friend on Facebook and at ndp.ca.
