Q and A
Questions and Answers
Q: What is your top priority for East Whitby?
A: A dedicated Whitby hospital. Our community is one of the fastest-growing in Ontario and our residents deserve full-service healthcare without driving to Oshawa or Ajax.
Q: How are you addressing the toll issue on 412 and 418?
A: I have written directly to the Minister of Transportation, raised it at Regional Council, and worked with our local MPPs to put pressure on Queen's Park. The tolls are unfair to Whitby residents and I will not let this issue die.
Q: What committees are you on at Region?
A: I serve on the Durham Region Finance and Administration Committee, the Planning and Economic Development Committee, and Durham Regional Transit. I have also served as Deputy Mayor of Whitby in 2023.
