In April 2020, the Special Committee on the #COVID19 Pandemic, held it’s first meeting.

Since then, they have met twenty five times to discuss our nations response the pandemic.

My Member of Parliament, @MichaelChongMP has a dismal record of attendance at just 16%.

#cdnpoli
That means that since the launch of committee @MichaelChongMP has attended only FOUR of TWENTY FIVE meetings.

This is the same Michael Chong who just weeks ago, was righteously calling for Parliament to remain sitting amidst the #COVID19 pandemic. #cdnpoli
This is the same Michael Chong who was the sole dissenting voice on the original COVID-19 aid package, which is responsible for holding the economy steady amidst a global economic crisis. #cdnpoli https://twitter.com/gray_mackenzie/status/1242754084119158784
In the last election, for the fourth year in a row, @MichaelChongMP’s share of the vote in Wellington- Halton Hills decreased. We can win this riding and send Chong packing.

During #elxn43, I was the field director for Dr. Lesley Barron, the Liberal candidate in W-HH.
Dr. Barron, a general surgeon in Halton Hills is a passionate advocate for her community. Her campaign in 2019 focused on addressing the social determinants of health, so that all the people of Wellington- Halton Hills could live more equal and dignified lives. #cdnpoli
Dr. Barron would have shown up and made a difference in Ottawa.

She would have brought the knowledge and a trust in science so needed in government right now. #cdnpoli
The people of Wellington- Halton Hills need a Member of Parliament who actually cares for their constituents and who is ready to do the hard work. After sixteen years of subpar leadership, it’s time for change. Please support and donate to the @WHHFLA: https://bit.ly/3f11qFQ 
During his tenure, @MichaelChongMP, has been praised as a centrist and “red Tory”. Here’s the truth, Chong is neither, and it’s about time he is held accountable for his abhorrent voting record.
