Dad. Your Liberal MP for Vancouver Granville. Parliamentary Secretary, Artificial Intelligence & Digital Innovation. Ex-Tech CEO. Community Leader. Volunteer.
Honoured to join the Kudiyaan Shehar Diyaan community celebration at Sunset Park last weekend, celebrating and empowering women and girls while connecting families with local resources across South Vancouver. Thank you to Preeti Faridkot, Jas Virdi, and to all the volunteers.
In April, we cut taxes at the pump — lowering your gas prices by 10 cents a litre.
Today, we announced we’re extending that tax cut: https://t.co/AxTbqUOYmK
Unjustified, unprovoked U.S. tariffs are putting pressure on Canadian workers and industries. We’re backing them — with $7.5 billion more in support.
Today, I met with union leaders to discuss our plan to protect jobs and businesses as we build a stronger economy for all.
This is an abhorrent, hateful act of Islamophobia, the likes of which are sadly becoming all too common.
We must all stand together against these brazen acts of hatred targeting places of worship & faith communities, and continue to build a pluralistic Canada where all feel safe.
Please see this important statement from the Fleetwood Islamic Academy Society in Surrey, BC regarding a recent incident where the mosque was vandalized with Islamophobic threats and raw animal matter.
Threats like “Get out or die!” and “Islam is Trash!” were found written on the walls of the mosque by the community’s attendees who arrived in the morning for prayer.
Authorities have been notified, an investigation is underway, and we are in contact with all parties on the ground.
This sort of intimidation and hatred has become a norm in Canada against the Muslim community. It is deeply disturbing and disappointing. It is time for elected officials to sit down with community members to build a National Strategy on Combatting Islamophobia.
Enough is enough.
Three incredible new colleagues - strong voices for their communities - joining us in the House to help build Canada Strong.
Congrats to Tanveer, Braeden and Daniel - can’t wait to work with you all.

In a moment of real uncertainty, North Vancouver–Capilano has chosen the confidence to build – to build the North Shore strong.
We chose partnership over division, practical work over political theatre, and the belief that our best days will not be found behind us – they will be built by us.
With @MarkJCarney, we chose a plan to stand firmly behind our Canadian workers and businesses – and to Build Canada Strong for All.
We will serve this community one person, one problem, and one promise kept at a time. Thank you. Merci. And let’s get to work! 🇨🇦
You can usually count on @PierrePoilievre’s chosen influencers, also enthusiastically elevated by the Conservative ecosystem to be somewhere nearby when Canada is being denigrated. But even I didn’t expect young Canadian cadets and Canadian Armed Forces which has fought alongside its allies in wars to become fair game.
We’re delighted to welcome economist professor @RFisman, a leading researcher in politics and finance, as the new Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair of Canada in Finance and Political Economy at the Rotman School of Management.

Salma is a powerful, untiring advocate for her community. Despite an apparent arson at her home less than 48 hours ago, she's doing what she does best: continuing to serve her constituents.
🇨🇦 💪
Our community ice cream social will proceed as scheduled tonight in Sweeney Park, 110 Sweeney Drive, North York, 5-7PM.
I will not allow the actions of one individual to prevent me from serving the people of this community.
There will be an increased security presence.
“Please disregard this post. It was sent in error by a junior staff member before the latest GDP figures, which show annualized 3.3 percent growth, were released this morning. Thank you for your attention in this matter.”
Thank you to everyone who came out to the joint town hall with me and MLA @SunitaDhirBC. These are the conversations that help us build #CanadaStrong – and a more prosperous, safer BC for all.
We hope to see you at the next one!
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
Congratulations to #VanGran's own @LMBaseball for an incredible performance at this year's Little League World Series! They're the first Canadian team to win three games in the series since 1998.
Well done boys – we're all so proud of you!
Heartbroken to hear about the fire at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad that claimed the lives of 14 newborns.
I have contacted my counterpart @MIshaqDar50 to express our condolences. My thoughts are with the families who have tragically lost their newborns and with everyone affected by this tragedy.
Yet again, this guy blames Canada for the tariffs imposed on us without provocation by his good friend’s Administration, in violation of the USMCA.
I look forward to Mr. Jivani visiting the GM Silverado plant in his Oshawa riding to explain to the workers why he wanted Canada to accept in perpetuity a 25% US tariff on heavy duty trucks that would force the plant’s closure.
He could also explain why he thinks Canada should do nothing to respond to the Administration’s attack on his constituents.
Great to join announcement at @collingwoodnh & celebrate young people like Izabel, whose hard work is opening doors to new jobs.
@SheilaMalcolmson SDPR is investing $300,000 to help 16 youth facing barriers gain culinary training and workplace exp through @DansLegacyBC.
@DansLegacyBC has built an outstanding record of supporting youth through mentorship & pathways to employment.
Thanks to Dan’s diner, Federal Gov @Taleeb, @WorkBC, and partners helping young people build confidence, gain experience, and succeed.
