Today, we issued a letter to Minister @MarcGarneau and Minister @NavdeepSBains urging them to work with the provinces and law enforcement to end the ongoing disruption to rail services. It's more than a disruption to #Cdnbiz , it's affecting all Canadians.

I’m very grateful to the Government of Japan for this honour. Canada and Japan are separated by geography, but we are united in our commitment to democracy, free markets and international cooperation. There is so much more we can do together to the benefit of both our countries.

Yes it's time to end interprovincial barriers. They drive up costs, decrease choice, undermine competitiveness & complicate business. They are illogical, unfair & unproductive. They frustrate the very idea of Canada. But for every barrier, there's a special interest to defend it.

Canada’s veterans are a tremendous resource for our businesses. They have the skills, the discipline and the desire to help companies succeed. We need to do more to recognize their service to Canada and to put those skills to work.

Opinion: Veterans need more than two minutes of Remembrance Day silence from Corporate Canada

Companies have little insight into the transferability of veterans’ skills

It’s good news that @cafreeland has extended the support so many businesses must rely on until we can get back to normal. We’ve come a long way together through the pandemic and must not give up on these businesses just 50 feet from shore.

Federal pandemic aid programs extended to Oct. 23 due to uneven economic recovery, Freeland says

The decision means that wage and rent subsidies for businesses, and income support for workers out of a job or who need to take time off to care for family or stay home sick, will last until Oct. 23

Almost all #Canadians are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. My family came here from Ireland about forty years before Canada was born, but immigrants today come for the same reasons: to seek freedom or to build a better life. Canadians can be both diverse and united.

Immigration is part of the personal story for millions of Canadians, including myself and many in my diverse riding of Markham-Thornhill. It makes our country stronger, and that will continue to be true as we look toward economic recovery from #COVID19 .
