Delivering for University—Rosedale

We have made investing in families and communities a top priority because they are the

foundation of our economy. Our plan is working. We’re creating more good paying, middle

class jobs for Canadians so we can all prosper.

Canada holds the best fiscal position among G7 countries. That’s because our government’s

top priority is to make smart and responsible investments to strengthen the middle class, grow

the economy, and prepare Canadians for the economy of tomorrow.

Investments that work

for all Canadians

The unemployment rate

has dropped to 6.3%, its

lowest in 5 years. 6.3%

Our economy has

created over 300,000

new jobs in 12 months.

NEW

JOBS

GDP growth was 4.5% in

the Second Quarter of

2017. 4.5%

Our government knows that to be successful

in the highly competitive global economy,

Canada must continue to perform world-

leading research and generate new

breakthrough ideas.

That’s why I was so pleased to announce

that we are investing more than $52 million

into the scientists, engineers and students

who are at the very heart of Canadian dis-

covery and innovation at the University of

Toronto.

This announcement represents a portion of

the more than $515 million that is being put

towards researchers across the country; it is

one of the single-largest annual investments

in fundamental research.

It is through these and many of our other

actions that our government is demonstrat-

ing its value for science and our country’s

hard-working scientists. Discovery and

innovation opens up possibilities for

improving everyone’s quality of life.

Canada Day 150 BBQ

Toronto Pride Parade

Fast in the 6

We believe strongly in equal rights for all individuals, including

LGBTQ2 rights, and we are committed to ensuring that our laws

reflect our Canadian values. That’s why I was very proud to march in

the Toronto Pride parade with my daughters and so many friends

from the University-Rosedale team this year. Once again we

were joined by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, members of our caucus,

and an amazing number of volunteers!

Thank you to all who joined the University-Rosedale team for our

Canada Day BBQ at Christie Pits Park. It was a really great turnout and

we always appreciate the chance to talk to our friends and

neighbours. This was a wonderful way to celebrate Canada 150.

Looking forward to making this an annual tradition!

Dear Chrystia,

Ukrainian Festival

I was proud to march with MPs Borys Wrzesnewskyj, Arif

Virani and Julie Dzerowicz, along with my daughters in the Toronto

Ukrainian Parade! It was also an honour to speak at the opening

ceremonies of the 21st annual Toronto Ukrainian festival which is the

largest in North America!

It was my great pleasure to speak at this year's Fast in the 6, an event

celebrating Ramadan. This event was a true testament to the diversity

and openness of our great city and our great country. Events like

this make me especially proud to represent both our riding of

University-Rosedale and Canada. I want to thank the organisers and

volunteers for their vision and their hard work in making this event

happen. (photo credit: Shannon Charnock/Young Voices Toronto)



I have been astounded and moved by the extremely high level of support and collaboration on NAFTA. It extends across the political spectrum. It is reflected in the high calibre of the people who recently joined our NAFTA Council. These members set partisan politics aside to work to pursue the national interest. This is because of this fundamental reality: the Canada-U.S. economic relationship is the most significant, the most mutually beneficial, and the most effective anywhere in the world.

We know that. And, particularly after six months of constant reminders from their

friends in the north, our American neighbours now know it, too.

Trade is about people. It’s about creating the best possible conditions for growth, for jobs, and for prosperity.

Thanks to NAFTA, the North American economy is highly integrated, making our companies more competitive in the global marketplace and creating more jobs on our continent.

I am sure Canadians appreciate that the path to getting there could well include some moments of excitement as well as a

few moments of drama.

I am no stranger myself to moments of drama in trade talks. We are delighted CETA has been signed, ratified, and was provisionally applied on September 21st.

Strong economic fundamentals are a compelling argument for bolstering what works, and improving what can be made better.

Our mission is clear. We are in this effort for all Canadians — and beyond that, for the broader North American community. Because if we get this right, the working people of all three countries will benefit.

Canada, the United States, and Mexico have a powerful shared interest in reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.
