What I will stand for as your Member of Parliament
“My goal is a fair and just society in balance with nature, which values the health and vitality of our families, local communities and economies. We will achieve this through sound fiscal management and progressive social policies. Our solutions will reflect the interdependence of the economy and the environment.
Social responsibility must be a cornerstone of our approach in Canadian foreign policy, international affairs, foreign aids and development, peace and security, human rights, economic sustainability and environment responsibility.”

Green tax Shifting:
As your Member of Parliament, I will endorse cutting taxes on Canadian income and payrolls and will shift it to carbon and pollution taxes. The carbon tax is a key part of our climate control plan. It is the only way to accelerate the transition to a thriving economy.

Climate Change:
As your Member of Parliament, I will ensure to have greater public discussion and education to bring dramatic changes in Government’s attitude for reducing greenhouse gases and begin reversing climate change.

Energy:
As your Member of Parliament, I will set our goal in a new, green energy direction that focuses on reducing demand rather than increasing supply. We will not squander billions on expensive, heavily subsidized nuclear energy, or allow coal-fired plants to continue to pollute the air we breathe.

Health:
As your Member of Parliament, I will work with local, provincial and federal governments for improving our health care with more resources into health promotion and disease and accident prevention. Safe drinking water and clean air are our basic rights. We deserve the best health care system, available to all Canadian equally.

Local Sustainability:
As your Member of Parliament, I will encourage restoring the health and vitality of our communities by buying locally produced food and other goods; by working in the communities where we live; and by conserving energy and resources. By working together, we can make a difference.
I believe the strength and heart of Ottawa-Vanier is families and the desire to be the best place to live, work and grows.

Global Reconstruction/Aid and Global Responsibility:
As your Member of Parliament I will insist for restoring Canadian reputation
as a peace loving nation in the world stage. We should reclaim the Noble Peace prizes Canadians have shared for their contribution for peacekeeping role in the past. I am totally committed to the Green Party values of non-violence, human rights and justice for all.

As your Member of Parliament, I will work to bring jobs and prosperity into our community; I will improve our education, health care and transportation system to be the best in the world.  I am for energy efficiency and a clean and healthy environment. I believe in ethical values, honesty and mutual respect based on Social and universal justice.

Ultimately, I believe the Green Party is about protecting the future of our children and grand-children and ensuring that our children’s children may live in a world as healthy as ours is today. It is about personal responsibility, local community involvement, and long-term solutions.

I will place particular emphasis on health and education because I see these as essential to promoting our overall physical and psychological well-being–health for the body, and education for the mind.
With your support I will be your representative and your voice for a brighter future.
