December 2009 Householder
"As we approach the end of 2009, I reflect on the ideas, thoughts and insights provided to me by the residents of Don Valley West. Your input has come to me in numerous ways, through calls, letters, e-mails and in our face-to-face conversations. I welcome comments and thoughts in all forms, though I have always appreciated the chance to engage the community in person. Since being elected, in an effort to foster that personal, face-to-face communication, I have hosted over twenty Coffee and Conversation events throughout Don Valley West’s many neighbourhoods.
The Coffee and Conversation series has provided us the opportunity to meet and discuss the federal issues that are important to you. Whether it’s the need to improve a broken Employment Insurance system, stimulate a lagging economy, improving Canada’s gun registry, or addressing the needs of new Canadians, our Coffee and Conversations have allowed me to hear your voice so that I can take your concerns to Ottawa. This year those concerns have centred around a variety of issues, particularly the Government’s unequal treatment of Canadians based on ethnicity and the same Government’s mismanagement of our economy."
