Currently over 8K applications for SIM are still waiting to be processed. IRCC has indicated that the processing time is now at 21 months even though this is supposed to be a priority processing stream. Many applications submitted in Jan 2023 have yet to receive updates

Non-profits been advised that effective 29/6/24, Rent-Geared-Income (RGI) units will need to revert to market rent as soon as turnover of existing tenant occurs as subsidies will not be renewed beyond 2028. Canada will permanently lose thousands of low-income RGI units.

Representing North Island-Powell River is a true honour. I have decided not to run again & to step down as NDP Whip. Recent personal news means I need to be closer to home. I will remain MP until the next election. Thanks to our community for your continued trust and support.

He wants 1 in 4 schoolchildren to continue to go without enough food

The double-standard is unacceptable. Don't tell me that workers can't get a fair wage when the CEOs pulling the strings are getting millions of dollars in raises.

New Democrats will always stand up for workers, fair wages, and safe working conditions.

Canada- PBO estimates cost of Conservative Tax Havens, foolishly maintained by Liberals, at over $30 Billion each year. That’s over $300 B. in last decade.

Imagine Canada with that amount invested in jobs, affordable housing, health care & so much else.

Last week, Pierre Poilievre voted to protect the profits of Grocery CEOs and block funding for a national school food program for kids.

This is the result.

Canadians need affordable meals. Not Poilievre’s Lobbyist and their backroom deals.

Galen Weston hired Pierre Poilievre’s Campaign Manager and her Lobbying firm.

Last week Conservatives voted NO to our motion to ensure no kid goes to school hungry.

Pierre's Loblaw Lobbyist got a sweet deal.

Your kids? They get no meals.

The Price of Pierre.

Galen Weston gets rich.
You get gouged.
Kids go to school hungry.

Thank you for the warm welcome Montreal!

Whether you're a student or a senior - a mom, dad, or a grandparent - the NDP Pharmacare Plan will help you.

Pierre Poilievre will cut it - and greedy CEOs at Big Pharma will raise prices.

I'm not going to let that happen.

For every affordable home that gets built - 11 affordable homes are sold off.

Rich investors have Liberals and Conservatives on their side.

I'm calling for a Renters Protection Fund that will keep you in your home, keep rent down and keep corporate landlords out.

Pierre Poilievre's deep ties to corporate lobbyists explain it all.

He voted to cut services you rely on - dental care, pensions, EI.
He voted against a National School Food Program for kids.

He votes to cut so CEOs that donate to him can raise prices and make more money.

This week young people across the country came came out to our Town Hall calling for a Youth Climate Corps.

We heard directly from individuals who urgently want our government to invest in climate solutions.

Automatic tax filing should be a no-brainer in Canada.

Why pay companies like H&R Block for information the government already has?

That's why wrote to CRA Minister Bibeau to implement an automatic tax-filing system and make life easier for Canadians.

Pierre Poilievre's sketchy ties to Loblaws Lobbyists means one thing for grocery prices.

You'll pay more and Billionaires like Galen Weston will make more.

Pierre Poilievre's Top Advisor Exposed.

A Loblaw Lobbyist who setup a shell company to hide how she's helped CEOs rip you off.

We've written to the Commissioner to investigate Pierre Poilievre's sketchy links to greedy billionaires.

Thanks to our NDP motion, Canada is the first G7 country to stop sending weapons to Netanyahu’s extremist govt.

In addition, the NDP pushed the Liberals to take 8 important steps towards peace. The work isn’t done but significant steps have been taken.
