What a great final request: Before passing away in her sleep at the age of 72 earlier this month, Mary Catherine Finn had lived a life steered by “a sharp wit and a steely backbone.” Described as a “fearless defender of ideas,” her obituary made a request to honour that: “In lieu of donations, Catherine would want you to do everything you can to drive Stephen Harper from office, right out of the country, and into the deep blue sea if possible. Also, she would like you to fix the CBC.”Jul 30, 2015 11:05 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP

Farewell dinner in Ottawa with my dear friends Koozma Tarasoff and Kristina Krestova. Koozma and I go back a long time to 1974 when we first met in Ottawa. We have worked closely over the past years to promote the concept of a Dept of Peace which hopefully will come to be one day soon. I sincerely thank him for all his efforts to promote a peaceful worldJul 28, 2015 1:34 pm | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP

Thank you to all who are supporting the creation of a National Park in the South Okanagan.

I had the pleasure of meeting representatives of The Indépendant Jewish Voices (IJV) recently in Ottawa. IJV has approached dozens of labour, civil rights, student and community-based organizations from across the country to endorse a statement defending the right of Canadians to freely criticize the State of Israel and employ the tactic of boycott, divestment and sanctions as a legitimate form of protest. I would like to thank them for sharing their concerns.Jun 15, 2015 1:39 pm | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP

All the best to them as they embark on a new journey.Jun 15, 2015 1:02 pm | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP

Congratulations are in order for my colleague Irene Mathyssen who finally 'got the job done'. Here is her message: " Absolutely thrilled with the news this afternoon that the federal tax on feminine hygiene products will end July 1st. This has been a long time in coming and I'm both proud of this victory and truly grateful for the support from tens of thousands of Canadians from every province and territory in Canada. I'm especially thankful to former NDP MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis who started this effort so many years ago, to my fellow MPs for unanimously supporting my motion in parliament earlier this month and to Jill and all the amazing women of the Canadian Menstrautors group that led the grassroots fight. I can almost hear Jack Layton's voice in my ear today saying “see, I told you, don’t let them tell you it can’t be done!”May 28, 2015 1:31 pm | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior
