Pipeline Rally 2018

By January 22, 2019No Comments

Dear friends,

Never have I been prouder to be from the Peace Country than when we rallied together on December 16th in support of those who work in our energy sector and of getting pipelines built! I’m so proud of our community and am thankful for each one of you who came to voice your support for the hardworking men and women who work in Alberta’s energy sector

Thousands of you gathered with passion and peace to communicate to the federal and provincial governments that we need to get new pipelines built both for our success today, and to ensure a future for our children tomorrow.

In the days following the rally, our momentum worked its way across our province, and I am hopeful that it will carry across our nation.

When I head back to Ottawa at the end of January, I will take with me the petition against Bill C-69 with over 2000 signatures. I will continue to raise the concerns you have shared with me, like the future of our energy sector and the lack of new pipelines that can get Alberta energy to new markets.

I stand in strong support of the men and women across Canada that work in and benefit from the energy industry. As we continue to work hard together, let’s not just build pipelines, let’s build a stronger and more prosperous Canada!

As I head into another parliamentary session, all of Canada needs a principled voice in Ottawa and I am proud to be part of the team that provides this under the leadership of Andrew Scheer.

Thank you for your continued support. I proudly serve as a strong voice for you, your family, and our communities.

Let’s continue to work hard together!
