MP Sahota Proud of the Government’s Hard Work to Accomplish Real Change for Canadians

25/06/2019 – Brampton, ON – Ms. Ruby Sahota, Member of Parliament for Brampton North reflected on the long list of legislative accomplishments that have been delivered for Canadians as the House of Commons adjourned last week. In the 42nd Canadian Parliament, the Federal Liberal Government passed 89 bills that made real changes in peoples’ lives.

MP Sahota listed off some of the positive legislative changes she was proud to work on delivering for Canadians: • Lower taxes for the middle class through increased taxes on the wealthiest one per cent of Canadians, and more tax-free money for middle class Canadian families through the tax- free Canada Child Benefit. • Recognizing that Canadians have created more than one million new jobs since 2015, and we’re providing more skills training to prepare people for the jobs of today and tomorrow. • A reduction in poverty for Canadians, including pulling nearly 300,000 children out of poverty, and a National Housing Strategy Act, supported by billions of dollars in funding, to help more Canadians find an affordable place to call home. • Stronger protection for Canada’s environment and improved rules for natural resource development to protect the environment, encourage investment and create greater certainty. • Pension reforms to provide Canadians greater protections for their workplace pensions, and to ensure more people receive their Canada Pension Plan benefits. • Keeping communities safe with improvements to firearms laws, stronger laws to deter and punish people who drive while impaired, and new national security measures to keep Canadians safe while safeguarding individual rights and freedoms. • Investing in our community infrastructure, public transit, and community recreation.

“I am proud of everything we have accomplished over the last four years – 89 Government bills, significant investment into communities, successful economic track record, tax cuts for the middle class and small business, and expanded trade,” said MP Sahota. “It has been a productive session of Parliament, and every day Canadians are better off for it.” OTTAWA BRAMPTON Room 513 Suite 306-307 Justice Building 50 Sunny Meadow Blvd. Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 Brampton, Ontario L6R 0Y7 [email protected] Tel: (613) 995-4843 Tel: (905) 840-0505 Fax: (613) 995-7003 www.rubysahotamp.ca Fax: (905) 840-1778
