Adam van Koeverden Liberal
“The member for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake voted against grocery money for over 20,000 of her constituents and against a pay raise for local soldiers. I want her to work with us on making life more affordable.”
“Mr. Speaker, the real question is what we are doing collectively in this House, with the abilities we have, to answer those calls for a little bit of help. The member of Parliament for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake might want to explain to her 20,772 constituents, who received $7.9 million through the groceries and essentials benefit, that she did not support it. She could also sit down with some of the military members, seeing as Cold Lake is a large military community. She also voted against a pay increase for those military members. We have a chance in the House to work on affordability. The member could get on board.”
