As we continue to debate Bill C-7 in the House of Commons, I’ve been thinking a lot about Audrey Parker.

This was the hardest speech I’ve ever given in the House, and her words will stay with me always.

As a Parliamentarian and legislator, it’s so important to me that I never forget the human element of what we do. We must always do right by Canadians, especially when it isn’t easy. This Bill, including “Audrey’s Amendment” is so important.
