Last Friday I spoke out in support of Bill C-223 "Canadian Organ Donor Registry Act". This legislation would establish a Canadian Organ Donor Registry and coordinate/promote organ donation throughout Canada. Unfortunately early signs indicate that the Liberal government will not be supporting this life-saving initiative.

"The only sanity regarding the Parliamentary Committee’s Report was provided by the four Conservative MPs on the Committee, in their Dissenting Report.

All parties campaigned on a promise to lower the small business tax rate. The Liberals broke that promise with their first budget.

In two weeks on April 2 I will once again have the privilege of serving at the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival - Official Site. This is the world's largest one-day Maple Syrup Festival! the thousands of pancakes flooded with fresh maple syrup is something you don’t want to miss! Not only is the Festival filled with good food, sugar bush tours, pancake flipping contests and many other activities for all ages, the money raised from the festival goes to support local service groups who provide help and HOPE to those in a tough spot. Speaking of hope -- this coming weekend is Easter. The message of reconciliation, redemption and hope is seen powerfully in the story of Good Friday and Easter! I wish you all a very happy and hope-filled Easter! and I hope to have the chance to serve you pancakes in two weeks!Mar 24, 2016 2:00 pm | Ontario, Kitchener—Conestoga - MP

Yesterday we were presented with a budget that does not create jobs in Canada but spends a lot of money for the sake of spending a lot of money. The Liberals need to present Canadians with a real plan for job creation - not just a plan to spend their hard earned tax money and borrow more on the backs of future generations.Mar 23, 2016 2:00 pm | Ontario, Kitchener—Conestoga - MP

Congratulations to THEMUSEUM on the unveiling of the newly renovated TotSpot! The TotSpot has been undergoing renovations for the past several months thanks to a $25,000 grant received in 2015 from the Enabling Accessibility Fund. Renovations to the TotSpot included new upholstery, new lighting, new interactive components, toys, books, and updated signage. The TotSpot has consistently been one of THEMUSEUM’s most popular permanent exhibits for those under three, and is one of the only Snoezelen rooms in Waterloo Region (an inviting space for people with autism, dementia, and brain injuries). It first opened twelve years ago thanks to donations from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation, and provides a multi-sensory environment for infants and toddlers, as well as visitors with various developmental disabilities.

The Liberal Government blew way past their promised deficit of $10 billion to $30 billion. Even with this increased spending the Liberals have absolutely no plans to create jobs! I've advocated for the Waterloo Region to get funding for all-day two-way GO Transit service to Toronto and today we learnt that the bulk of infrastructure investment wont come untill 2021. We want that transit service now!Mar 22, 2016 2:39 pm | Ontario, Kitchener—Conestoga - MP

Tomorrow the Liberal Finance Minister, Bill Morneau, will present the Governments first Budget. The Parliamentary Budget Officer, The Department of Finance, and the NDP have agreed that our Conservative Government left the Liberals with a surplus. The Liberals campaigned on running 10 billion dollar deficits and returning to balance by 2019 - I will be holding them to that tomorrow. I want to see a budget that creates jobs, lowers taxes, and boosts the Canadian middle class - what do you want to see?
