We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option.

I was a crown attorney in my home town in Nova Scotia, and I learned that victims of crime needed better laws to better protect them. I saw politics as a means to improve this protection for them.

Cyberbullying is an issue that affects all of us and demands that Canadians work together to put an end to it.
