I am very proud to announce that I will once again be the liberal candidate in your riding during the next federal election. Since 2008, I have been very active in St. Boniface and have met with many people from all walks of life. I have listened to these people tell me about their challenges and what’s at stake in their daily lives. Clearly, they are seeking an improved quality of life and increased financial security.
At the Liberal Party of Canada, we are proposing a concrete course of action and solutions for families, workers, seniors, various organizations as well as entrepreneurs.
As Member of Parliament for St. Boniface, I was given the opportunity to exercise a leadership based on outcomes by proposing concrete actions with measurable results for the advancement of St. Boniface. This enabled me to win three elections in a span of four years in the riding of St. Boniface.
My experience as Member of Parliament for St. Boniface following those three successful election bids gave me extensive knowledge of the issues that affect our society. A resident of St. Boniface for the past 33 years, I am deeply rooted in the area, a seasoned entrepreneur as well as a committed volunteer when it comes to the issues that most deeply affect our community. That is why I am seen by others as being a builder of this same community.
Since 2008, St. Boniface has lost some its footing in the Canadian federation. As a result, people are looking for leadership as well as a Member of Parliament who has the capacity to aggressively move ahead with the most important issues of their community. They also seek a representative who garnered the unwavering support of the leader of the Liberal Party, as I have succeeded in doing in my close relationship with Mr. Michael Ignatieff.
The Liberal Party organization in St. Boniface has long been considered to possess one of the best and most efficiently organized teams in the country and, in recent years, it has almost doubled the number of its militants. At this time, my team and I are seeking your support so that together, we may continue to build a vibrant, safe and prosperous St. Boniface for the generations that will follow, in a Canada that is respected across the world.
