Thank you Trinity-Spadina. Thank you for your support and for asking me to return to Ottawa as your Member of Parliament. Together we stood up to Stephen Harper’s wrong direction and together we stood up and worked hard for a better vision of the Canada we want.
A vision that includes support for our city.
A vision that includes a national child care program and support for parents.
A vision that includes a fair immigration system.
A vision that gives every student access to affordable education.
And friends, that is the vision that the people of Trinity-Spadina and people across Toronto voted for!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT HAPPEN!
Thank you for trusting me and sending me back to Ottawa as part of Jack Layton’s team of New Democrats. I look forward to continuing to serve our community and I promise you that I will continue to work just as hard for all of you.
Thank you to all of you - the hundreds of volunteers, supporters and donors who knocked on doors, made phone calls, and distributed leaflets.
THANK YOU.
