An amazing behind-the-scenes look at the #CentreBlockRestoration. 👷‍♀️🛠️

Walking the halls of Centre Block & stepping back into the original #SenateChamber was a trip down memory lane.

I look forward to seeing the final restoration & reopening of this iconic building. 🇨🇦

The federal government’s upcoming sustainability strategy won’t enable Canada to meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and will affirm Canada as below average among G7 countries in emission reduction results: https://t.co/a1rU3rjm9s

Flooding has already displaced communities across the country, and with #WildfireSeason approaching, we’re likely to see more displacement ahead.

I asked Minister @mandygullmasty how the government will ensure #EmergencyPreparedness for First Nations communities across Canada.

What a pleasure it was to welcome the 2026 cohort of Parliamentary Guides to @SenateCA. With their energy and curiosity, the guides give a voice to Parliament and play a vital role in keeping our institution vibrant. Congratulations to everyone! @LibraryParlCA

Today, we say goodbye to Senator Kutcher as he takes a well-deserved retirement.

Stan is internationally respected for his leadership in #MentalHealth & fierce defender of truth & democracy — always standing up to disinformation.

His legacy will endure in this chamber & beyond.

"Canada is a wonderful country, shaped by its diversity of people, of perspectives and experiences, but I think shaped also mostly by a common respect for strong public institutions and for the rule of law," says Canada's next Governor General, Louise Arbour.

On #RedDressDay, we honour the lives & legacies of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, & Two Spirit people.

They’re not statistics—they’re daughters, nieces, mothers, sisters, leaders.

Remembering isn’t enough. We must listen, act, & do better for the next generation.🧡

During the Virus of Inequality Symposium, we welcomed friends & “femtors” to the Senate — Jean Augustine, the first Black Canadian woman MP, and Michele Landsberg, a trailblazing feminist author & activist.

For over 50 years, the Volunteer Cooperation Program has championed Canadian volunteers who, working alongside and learning from local partners abroad, have become powerful ambassadors of our country's values.

Glad to celebrate the VCP with civil society partners and parliamentary colleagues at a breakfast roundtable.

[Senator Mary Coyle @SenMaryCoyle]

The #SpringEconomicUpdate includes a $6B investment in the skilled trades — key in implementing major projects like #WindWest and a #NationalElectricityGrid.

I asked @pierremmoreau how this will support projects that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and grow the economy. 🌱

[Senator Mary Coyle @SenMaryCoyle]

Conversations with @codengo highlighted the need to advance education & literacy for women & girls in Africa.

I asked Senator Moreau when the government will respond to Senate report, “Canada-Africa: Seizing a Strategic Opportunity,” & the recommendation to invest in Education.

Tourism is a vital part of what makes Canada exceptional. In Nova Scotia, arts & culture are at the heart of this sector, driving local economies. 🇨🇦

Thank you, Senator Sorensen, for launching this important inquiry into tourism’s nation-building value.

Yesterday I honoured my friend, the late Stephen Lewis in the Senate Chamber.

Stephen was a hero to many, a feminist, and a man whose own enormous heart, and selfless vision for humanity, moved mountains.

He will be dearly missed.
