Today, on Remembrance Day, I join Canadians at home and abroad in honouring the brave men and women who served our country.
From Japan, I pause to reflect on their courage, their sacrifice, and the freedoms we enjoy because of them.
We will always remember.

Rustad has a forestry record and it's not pretty.
When he and his party were at the cabinet table they let 100,000 forestry jobs leave our province.
I have a lot of work to do to restore confidence to our sector, but I’ll take no lessons from Rustad’s Conservatives.

Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.
