The MP for Kenora says the Conservatives are ready to hit the ground running when Parliament resumes Monday after a six-week break.
Eric Melillo outlines the early 2021 priorities for his party.
“I’m just looking forward to continuing to stand-up for our region. Our party is going to continue to be the voice for working families. Make life for affordable and bring back some ethics and accountability to government. So I look forward to continuing that push and look forward to another great year representing our region.”
Melillo says we really don’t know what 2021 will bring us.
“I’m very optimistic about the future now that we are moving forward with a vaccine rollout. We are doing a lot of things right I think in terms of doing our part to combat the virus.”
There may be a new way of doing things as the new year begins as MP’s could be using an app on their smartphones or laptops to cast votes remotely.
Party whips are still discussing some unresolved details, the most important of which is ensuring Canadians will be able to see how their MP’s vote, in real-time, as they click yea or nay.
But government whip Mark Holland is optimistic that all parties will give unanimous consent to proceed with the voting app when the Commons resumes.
