Q: How does your party plan to address the issue of climate change?

A: The Liberal party is extremely in support of protecting our environment. In the north, we have the most beautiful natural resources in the world. I would work hard to protect the natural beauty of our region and the protection of the environment for our future generations.

Q: How would you address housing challenges facing some Aboriginal communities across our region?

A: I have always been a strong advocate for Indigenous issues. Indigenous housing issues have been created through many years and as a Member of Parliament I would ensure that this issue be moved forward in finding meaningful solutions.

Q: What’s your stance on the development of pipelines?

A: I am careful, considerate, and practical to the development of pipelines in the Prince George/Peace River region. I am open to the development of pipelines; however, there can be no final decisions of development without respectful, accountable, and meaningful engagement with northern communities. The Liberals are open to finding the balance between the economy and environment. We want to invest in clean energy and the economy as well.

Q: Should the federal government help those affected by the downturn in the forestry sector? If yes, how?

A: This is a pressing issue in the north with many of the logging mills being shut down that is impacting the entire forest sector. The Liberal party is committed to ensure real progress with the forest sector workers and their families. The Liberal party will work with the Forest sector workers and will find solutions like education, training, and the development of new employment opportunities.

Q: Do you think there should be term limits for MPs?
