I participated as a witness in the Senate's #TRCM study on local services by CBC/Radio-Canada and was glad to see their 7th recommendation emphasizing the importance of these services during emergencies, referencing the local news suspension in #PEI during the Covid-19 pandemic.

How can local news better serve communities across Canada? A new Senate report examines CBC/Radio-Canada’s local services and opportunities to strengthen regional coverage. 📄Read the report: ow.ly/Mc8o50ZcsS1 #SenCA #TRCM #CBC #CanadianMedia

Research by Dr. Litvinov, Dermatologist Prof. at McGill, shows that #PEI has one of the highest melanoma rates in 🇨🇦. A major barrier to sunscreen use is cost; removing sales tax on sunscreen, as done in Australia & UK, could benefit families with children who are most affected.

Doug Ford’s Conservatives voted against my Private Members’ Bill to ban harmful online gambling advertising. Bill 107 addressed a growing public health crisis in Ontario head on. It reflected a commitment to tackle the broader structure that makes it so easy to fall into problem gambling. This bill resonated across the province as I talked to countless people who were inundated with these predatory ads or whose lives were deeply impacted by online gambling. I will keep fighting!

The path to this historic deal started with the Prime Minister in Malaysia last fall. This order will support 800 Canadian suppliers and more than 30,000 jobs. This is trade diversification in action. More exports. More growth. More good-paying jobs. 🇨🇦✈️🇲🇾

Found my ticket for this great hockey game on New Year's Eve 1975. Game ended with a 3-3 tie. @CanadiensMTL, who had 9 future Hall of Famers in their lineup, outshot the Soviets 38-13. Tretiak was outstanding. 🏒🇨🇦
