I recently retired from the Senate of Canada. It was an honour to represent Alberta. I am grateful to have worked with so many remarkable people on important issues and challenges. I leave with a full heart, wonderful memories and the prospect of a bright future with my family.

It has been a privilege to serve as Government Liaison in the Senate. As I relinquish the role, I would like to wish my successor & esteemed colleague @MetisSenatorPLB the very best. As a proud Western Canadian, I remain committed to representing Alberta in the Senate. #cdnpoli

I offer my deepest condolences to those who lost family & friends in this morning's catastrophic plane crash in Tehran. Among the 176 victims are 63 Canadians, including many from my home province of Alberta. My heart goes out to all those affected by this unspeakable tragedy.


From my family to yours, I wish you a very happy holiday and a joyous new year. Ma famille se joint à moi pour vous souhaiter, à vous et à proches, de très joyeuses Fêtes et une bonne et heureuse année.

Royal Assent is the last step in turning a bill into a law. A traditional ceremony was held today in the @SenateCA Chamber. 🇨🇦 La sanction royale est la dernière étape pour transformer un projet de loi en loi. Une cérémonie traditionnelle a eu lieu aujourd'hui au @SenatCA.

I’m looking forward to taking my place in the Senate for the Opening of the 43rd Parliament on Thursday. In particular, I welcome the chance to hear more about the Government’s plans to promote a green economy & address climate change in the Speech from the Throne. #SenCA


Mon poste d’agent de liaison est un moment fort de ma carrière. C’est un immense privilège d’avoir pu contribuer d’aussi près au projet qui souhaitait donner plus d’indépendance au Sénat. #SenCA #polcan senat-brg.ca/nouvelles/mitc…

What’s in a name? The change from #environmentalassessment to #impactassessment means projects will be assessed on more than just their impacts on the environment.
