In my role as Vice President of the Canada NATO Parliamentary Association, I’m in Brussels this week with our Canadian delegation for NATO Parliamentary Assembly meetings.
Parliamentarians from across the Alliance have gathered to strengthen support for NATO, reinforce transatlantic ties, and ensure the democratic link between Allied governments and the citizens we represent remains strong. This type of relationship building deeply matters to me.
We continue to discuss the importance of ramping up defence spending, which as you know Canada’s rapidly undertaking, and the need to better coordinate defence procurement with our NATO Allies.
Representing Canada in rooms like this is something I’ll never take for granted. Dartmouth—Cole Harbour has a proud military tradition, and we’re home to a well-established and growing defence industry. The work we do here with our Allies matters internationally, and it matters back home.
