Shannon Miedema, Halifax
“I have been an MP for one year today. Our government is investing in big projects, protecting the environment, and making trade deals. We are also cutting taxes and helping Canadians pay for groceries and other costs.”
“Mr. Speaker, today I rise to mark one year since I was first elected to serve the people of Halifax, and I am so happy to be here. It has been the honour of a lifetime, and what a year it has been. I am proud that our government is focused on the opportunities that arise in addressing current global challenges. We are investing in major projects at home. We are forging new trading partnerships across the globe. We are securing our sovereignty and our economic resilience, and we are doing so in a way that allows us to continue with our environmental and climate objectives. At the same time, we are ensuring support for Canadians who need it the most. We are responding to the rising cost of living by cutting taxes and launching affordability measures such as the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, all while maintaining the many other social supports that people depend on. We have shown up, listened and acted. Whether through nation-building projects or local targeted support, this year has been building a stronger Canada. I am so proud to be part of this team, and I am grateful to my family, friends and supporters. I wish a happy first anniversary to all members of the House from the class of 2025.”
