Happy Small Business Week, Middlesex–London! Our communities are full of hardworking entrepreneurs and small business owners. It takes a certain kind of resolve to choose this way of life: early mornings, late nights, and long working hours. We all share in the success of a blooming small business ecosystem. These champions are the backbone of our local communities and our local economy. They are farmers, restaurant owners, service providers, and retailers. They are the many unnamed heroes that keep our economy and our country going.
As your Member of Parliament, I am committed to supporting policies that reduce red tape, lower costs, and make it easier for small businesses to thrive. I continue to advocate for common-sense policies that benefit Canadians, such as protecting local supply chains, and fighting cumbersome regulations that strangle innovation and growth.
To all the small business owners in Middlesex–London: thank you for your dedication, your resilience, and your passion. As we face financial pressures at home, I will continue to fight for an affordable, safe, and independent Canada, where local businesses grow and serve the communities we call home.
