Petitions
As your Member of Parliament, I take pride in being your voice in Ottawa. Many constituents in Thunder Bay-Superior North have contacted me on issues that matter to them, something I encourage all residents to do. Many have presented petitions to me, which I have had the honour to table in the House of Commons on their behalf. Other constituent concerns have resulted in me and my staff authoring petitions for them. Petitions are a great way to get involved and marshal support in your community and to raise awareness of an issue in Parliament. If you have an issue to petition, please don’t hesitate to contact my office. House of Commons petitions require a specific format, but my staff would be more than happy to help you draft a petition that will be presentable in Parliament by me or any other MP.
Please take a moment to download and sign one of the petitions below. All petitions can be mailed postage-free to your MP.
