This is most welcome news. As the candidate of record in the 2019 Federal Election in Etobicoke-Lakeshore I know that your candidacy will make the difference in bringing us a local victory - and a critical puzzle piece towards a majority Conservative government in Canada. As I went door to door, voters told me of your hard work for constituents and this time I know you will bring more of the same to the job. You have my full support and I can’t wait to get to work to help your campaign!

I have known Bernard since his election to Parliament in 2011. As MP colleagues, we worked effectively to implement Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s vision for our country. As Canada’s trade minister, I relied on Bernard to help our government implement the most ambitious free trade plan in Canada’s history. Above all, he was always an effective Member of Parliament and great Conservative team member who represented his constituents with energy and thoughtfulness. With his broad experience, I know that as your future Member of Parliament, Bernard will again be a strong voice in Parliament for the people of Etobicoke-Lakeshore.
