I joined the Pre-Budget Consultation with the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Finance. It was a valuable opportunity to hear directly from stakeholders about their priorities and what they would like to see in Budget 2025.

 

I had the privilege of attending the Markham Prayer Breakfast, a meaningful gathering where we came together in faith to pray for our leaders, our community, and to honour God.
