For those wondering why it's so hard to control remote wildfires in Canada, here are two maps which might help illustrate the problem. Let's call them: A) Where the people are; and B) Where the trees are.
It has been an immense honour to serve my constituents and all Canadians in Parliament since 2013.
Last fall, I stepped down from Cabinet and announced that I would not be seeking re-election, and that I would be taking on new full-time professional roles outside politics beginning this summer.
On Monday, I announced my intention to leave the House of Commons in the coming weeks. Today, I have written to the Speaker to confirm that I will vacate my seat effective this Friday, January 9.
One of the roles I will be taking on is as an unpaid advisor on economic issues to the President of Ukraine. This is a volunteer position, and I have consulted throughout with the Ethics Commissioner and followed his advice.
Going forward I will continue to support and help build Canada in every way I can, while championing the brave fight of the people of Ukraine, a cause I have been committed to my entire life.
This is how you represent a part* of 🇨🇦 while working for all* of 🇨🇦.
Trying to get ahead while selling out your neighbour is how the other side wins a trade war.
This much I know.
Thanks @ColinDMello and @globalnews for pushing tough questions to me & others.
