It was a pleasure meeting Honourable Gregor Robertson. His commitment to strengthening housing and transportation in Hamilton was encouraging to hear, and it’s reassuring to see these priorities recognized at the federal level.

It was an honour to have the opportunity to attend the Ontario Economic Summit this week. Conversation with Hon. Rob Flack focused on the need to remove the HST for all new homebuyers - a practical step that will help build a sustainable path to homeownership for future generations.
