A VOICE FOR YOU
Healthcare
Access to Healthcare
Our access to healthcare in Egmont is next to nonexistent. Our frontline staff are overworked and take the brunt of a clearly broken system. We’ve heard time and time again that healthcare is a provincial issue, but the reality is it’s an all-government issue.
Government Responsibility for Healthcare
The federal government distributes funding to the province for service and infrastructure, and it is up to the province to operate and utilize that funding. We have to get to the bottom-line issues: is there not enough funding? Or is the funding being mismanaged? If you were an investor in a company and your ROI was life or death, wouldn’t you want clear answers? Well, you are that investor, you are a taxpayer, and you pay a significant amount of money year over year for proper healthcare. We need answers and we need them fast because at this point, the only thing we know for sure is the system is failing.
Challenges in the Healthcare System
Wait times are ridiculous, access to a doctor is almost impossible, staff are put in vulnerable positions, our technology is outdated, and most importantly, people are not getting the proper help they need.
Advocacy for Change
It’s time we get an advocate for healthcare and fight to change this broken system. I want to be that person, and I will fight tooth and nail to make changes, regardless of the level of government.

Lowering Taxes and Improving Healthcare for Seniors in Egmont
AXE THE CARBON TAX
Canadians shouldn't have to sacrifice their savings just to fuel their vehicles. The carbon tax, touted as a solution, is instead a regressive measure that not only drives up gas prices, making everyday living more expensive, but also fails to effectively curb global emissions. Its impact is felt most acutely in rural communities where transportation costs are already high. Additionally, this tax hike contributes to the offshoring of jobs overseas, further hurting our economy. Moreover, let's not forget its ripple effect on grocery prices, further burdening Canadian households.
As your representative, I am committed to fighting for the interests of Egmont. One of the key steps in this fight is to axe the carbon tax specifically for our community. By removing this burdensome tax, we will alleviate the financial strain on hardworking families, farmers, and small businesses in Egmont. Additionally, axing the carbon tax will help lower the cost of living, including reducing gas prices and grocery expenses, making life more affordable for everyone in our community. I believe in championing policies that support Egmont's prosperity and well-being, and axing the carbon tax is a crucial part of that vision

Addressing Housing Affordability in Egmont: Urgent Action Required
Over the past years, housing costs in Egmont have skyrocketed, making it increasingly difficult for families to afford homes. Before, it took decades to pay off a mortgage, but now, saving for a down payment alone takes a similar amount of time. This alarming trend has put homeownership out of reach for many in our community. Our situation mirrors that of other Canadian communities, where housing prices have surged, placing significant strain on families' finances.
Building More Homes in Egmont: Confronting the Crisis
Egmont, like much of Canada, is facing a shortage of affordable housing. Despite the growing demand, our rate of home construction has not kept pace with population growth.

The root cause lies in bureaucratic obstacles and delays that hinder the construction process, driving up costs and limiting supply.
Proposed Solutions for Egmont: Addressing the Challenges
