I am a senior in my mid-70’s and have been a self-employed tax payer for over 55 years. I want to see workers treated justly and with a living wage and adequate affordable housing. Economic development should not benefit the few, but should protect the vulnerable and the disadvantaged.

I am extremely concerned about the future of our planet and the urgent reality of climate change. Floods, fires, drought and extreme weather events continue to increase. I want to see our provincial government work towards providing our grand-children and great-grandchildren a responsibly cared for province, where protecting natural resources, water, wetlands, lakes, forests, and the environment is a high priority. This includes planning and maintaining environmentally sustainable programs, like public transit and alternate energy sources, like wind, solar, and geothermal.

I appreciate the opportunity to register my concerns.
