Peace River-Westlock MP Arnold Viersen tells the Trending 55 Newsroom that he has a number of priorities for when Parliament resumes.
The Canadian Parliament will get back in session later this month and Viersen says this session will be about “holding the Prime Minister to account.”
“Bring the interests of Northern Alberta to Ottawa is going to be the top priority. We’ve seen already the Prime Minister talking about capping oilsands emissions and no discussion and no realization around the equalization discussion here that we had in Alberta. We’ll bring that there and also push for the appointment of the new Alberta senators who have just been elected.”
Viersen also says that he’ll continue his work on the parliamentary committee to end human trafficking.
“We got reconstituted here just the other day and the first action we did was we wrote a letter to all the party leaders basically saying hey this supply chain reporting legislation that Parliament’s been kicking around for about 20 years let’s get it done. It was in the Liberal platform and was also in our Conservative platform so between the Liberals and the Conservatives we should be able to get it passed.”
The Parliament session will begin on November 22.
