I congratulated Mr. Martin Buhr today, who is 87 years young and will be riding in the Out-Spok’n bike-a-thon tomorrow! Over the past years, he has raised over $387,000! Funds raised will go to affordable housing, including a planned 30‑unit accessible apartment building in Elmira. @BeyondHousingWR @Woolwichupdates

As Parliamentary Secretary for Interprovincial Trade, I met with Wine Growers Canada and discussed priorities that will help the sector grow and compete.   We focused on addressing interprovincial barriers and making it easier for Canadians to access and enjoy great wines from across our country.   A key step is advancing harmonized direct-to-consumer shipping, so wineries can reach more Canadians and people can enjoy Canadian wines nationwide.

Congratulations to the 2026 Kitchener Rangers Memorial Cup champions

Honoured to address the Armenian Genocide Commemoration in Cambridge. I’m deeply grateful to the Armenian National Committee of Southwestern Ontario and community leaders for their leadership, and for standing together in remembrance, solidarity, and the pursuit of truth and justice.

Starting April 20th, Canada’s new government will suspend the full amount of tax on gasoline and diesel. Cutting the tax will reduce fuel costs for Canadians and business, including food, agriculture, housing, and delivery sectors.

It was a privilege celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. Thank you to the community for the warm invitation and hospitality.

It was a pleasure to join the Al Falah community and ICNA Canada to mark the end of Ramadan. A month of reflection, generosity, and discipline—values truly embodied by everyone I met at Huron Heights last Friday. Wishing all who are celebrating a joyful and blessed Eid Mubarak!

Canada is investing in the next generation of agricultural workers. Our federal government has announced up to $27 million for the Youth Employment and Skills Program (YESP) over the next two years. Starting in 2026–27, this program will feature a more streamlined application process to better support youth seeking jobs in agriculture. It's great news for farmers and youth here in Kitchener-Conestoga and across the country!

Today, on International Women’s Day, and every day, I celebrate the incredible women in my life, and all those who have broken barriers and opened doors for others. Let’s keep pushing for a future where every woman’s voice is heard, every opportunity is equal, and every dream is within reach. #IWD2026

Our country has the talent and know‑how to lead in the clean‑energy transition.

Proud to walk alongside so many neighbours in Elmira for this year’s Coldest Night of the Year. Our community came together and raised more than $90,000 to support those who need it most.

I was honoured to join the African Family Revival Organization (AFRO) in Kitchener for a meaningful Black History Month celebration. Black Canadians have shaped our country’s cultural landscape in countless ways, especially through music, which has a powerful way of bringing people together. Thank you to AFRO for all you do in our community, and to Jeffery for leading us in the drumming circle.

Last night in Kitchener, I had the privilege of joining our community for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's annual Interfaith and Multicultural “Flavours of Iftar” dinner. As Ramadan continues, it was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the power of Iftar. There is something special about breaking bread together. A shared meal has a way of opening hearts, building understanding, and reminding us of what we have in common. Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing, and thank you to the organizers and volunteers who made this wonderful evening possible.
