This evening, I delivered Canada’s address to the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Canada has led globally on advancing inclusion and accessibility and we are fully committed to continuing this work. Because inclusion is not a privilege, it’s an expectation that every Canadian should be able to count on.
Canadian Rangers—a reserve force drawn from Indigenous and northern communities—just completed a 52 day 4,500km Arctic patrol by snowmobile as part of #OpNANOOK-NUNALIVUT.
That’s like travelling from Paris to Athens and back, off‑road, in winter, at temperatures down to –50°C 🥶

The Memorial of the India's First Ambassador to London

Today I rose in the House of Commons for the first time as the Member of Parliament for Toronto–St. Paul’s.
It was a moment of deep gratitude—and a commitment to fight for the people and places that make our community home.
Toronto–St. Paul's deserves leadership that will protect Canada, fight for affordability and stands firmly against antisemitism. I'm committed to advocating for our community's values and ensuring every voice is heard.
