I would like to invite you to my annual Christmas Open House on:

After five successful rural crime townhalls, I have submitted recommendations to the Public Safety Committee for their current study on rural crime, as per Motion 167, which was adopted by the House. The Committee has heard from expert witnesses on ways to improve rural crime prevention and to curb emerging crime rates, but I wanted to talk to Westman residents and local RCMP members directly, to hear what their ideas and recommendations were.

I recently spoke in Parliament in favour of a motion which called on the need for the Minister of Finance to tell Canadians in which year the federal budget will be balanced.  Later that day, every single Liberal MP voted against the motion, meaning that Parliament and taxpayers will not be told of the government’s plans to balance the budget.

On Saturday, December 1st I am hosting a Passport Clinic at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Virden from 10:00am to 2:00pm.  Come to this one-stop shop where staff will be available to assist you in either renewing or becoming a first time passport holder.  A photographer will also be available for your passport photos and my office will mail your passport application on your behalf.  

During my next constituency week, I will be hosting 5 rural crime townhalls.  This is in response to the Public Safety Committee doing an in-depth study on rural crime.
