Dear Nickel Belt – Greater Sudbury,

The Winter and Spring Parliamentary session has come to an end! It has been an honour representing you in the House of Commons while simultaneously advancing priorities in Nickel Belt – Greater Sudbury.

This session was particularly special for many reasons, including Bill C-13, An Act to amend the Official Languages Act, to enact the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act and to make related amendments to other Acts, receiving royal ascent. The modernization of the Official Languages Act shows our government’s unwavering commitment to protecting our two official languages.

June was filled with many funding announcements and celebrations. We recognized la St-Jean, Indigenous History Month, Multiculturalism Day and many more. Wishing each of you a happy and safe Canada Day weekend. Please be advised our offices are closed July 3^rd, 2023.
