I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
In November, I visited the Field of Crosses and attended the Youth Day Sunset Ceremony. I also spoke and laid a wreath at the Bowness Legion’s Remembrance Day ceremony where we honoured those who served, those who continue to serve, and the fallen.
The October 7 attack by the terrorist group Hamas on Israel shocked the world. Many constituents have contacted me with their views, including some who have said that they fear that they will be targeted for their faith here in Calgary. My full statement can be found at patkellymp.ca.
Many Calgarians are struggling with the high cost of living. The federal carbon tax has increased the cost of gas, groceries, and home heating. When the federal government announced that they will remove the carbon tax from home heating in Atlantic Canada, I repeatedly asked the government to apply the removal to all forms of home heating and all Canadians. I have and will continue to be a vocal opponent of the carbon tax, particularly as it applies to home heating and other necessities of life.
This winter, I have also repeatedly raised the issue of affordability and home ownership. I have asked the government to address rising interest rates and inflation. Many Calgarians are concerned that high interest rates will make their homes unaffordable when their mortgage comes up for renewal, while others cannot afford rent increases and believe they will never be able to own a home. I have called on the government to reduce the taxes and deficits that drive inflation which has triggered higher interest rates.
Constituents are welcome to contact me with concerns related to federal policy. Feedback from constituents is critical and helps me know what constituents think about matters under federal jurisdiction.
It remains my honour to represent you at the House of Commons as your Member of Parliament.
