"IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE IBAO. WE NEED TO SUPPORT BROKERS AND HEAR THEM OUT ON WHAT CHANGES NEED TO BE DONE. AS LEGISLATORS, WE NEED TO ADAPT TO NEW REALITIES TO KEEP POLICY UP TO DATE." - MPP Amanda Simard "WE GOT TO LEARN ABOUT FLOOD PROTECTION, THE PRICING DIFFERENCES IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBOURHOODS, HOW THAT AFFECTS A LOT OF OUR CONSTITUENTS AND WAYS TO TRY TO MAKE IT MORE FAIR. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD, INFORMATIVE SESSION. I'M GLAD TO HAVE MET THEM." - MPP Doly Begum, Deputy Opposition Whip "AS A LEGISLATOR I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HEAR THE LOCAL PERSPECTIVES FROM THE FOLKS WHO DON'T JUST DO THE WORK BUT DO THE LISTENING. FOR THEM TO TAKE WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES-WHETHER IT'S ABOUT FLOODING OR ROAD SAFETY-AND TO FEED THAT BACK TO LEGISLATORS IS REALLY IMPORTANT." - Jennifer French, Critic, Infrastructure, Transportation and Highways WWW.IBAO.ORG 21 DECEMBER 2019http://WWW.IBAO.ORG
