MP Julian's 2024 end of year report

Dear Neighbours,

I hope you and your family are doing well.

It’s an honour to serve as your Member of Parliament in New Westminster – Burnaby, one of the most culturally diverse communities in Canada.

 

 

In 2024, Jagmeet Singh and the NDP made historic progress in healthcare, affordable housing, and anti-scab legislation for workers. We successfully pushed for the Red Dress Alert initiative to protect Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse people. After years of advocacy, universal dental care and pharmacare became a reality. By December 2024, over 1.25 million Canadians, mostly seniors, received dental care, and 3 million have dental cards, including 3,600 residents from New Westminster – Burnaby. In October, the Universal Pharmacare Act passed, offering diabetes medications to 6 million Canadians and contraceptives to 9 million.

Canada is facing a housing affordability crisis. The NDP pushed the Liberal government to commit $10.34 billion to create over 40,000 new units and repair 166,000 existing ones through the Affordable Housing Fund.

In New Westminster – Burnaby, my team and I have heard from thousands of constituents. Families are struggling with high rents, grocery prices, and medications. Food bank lines are growing, and small businesses are facing rising costs.

I will continue to fight for affordable housing, climate action, tax fairness, and more.

To share your concerns you can call me at 604-775-5707.

My team and I have helped over 22,000 families in this riding in recent years. Don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you and your family peace, good health, and prosperity in 2025!

Peter Julian
Member of Parliament,
New Westminster – Burnaby

All I want for Christmas is healthy teeth!

On Monday, New Democrats announced the implementation of the NDP’s national dental care program, which will save millions of families across Canada around $1,300 a year. In my riding of New Westminster – Burnaby, over 26,000 seniors, people living with a disability, and families struggling to pay the bills will no longer have to choose between a visit to the dentist or keep a roof over their head.

Temporary Holiday GST Relief is Not Enough!

While I welcome the Liberal government's announcement of a two-month GST/HST holiday on essential goods -this initiative does not go far enough.

What about Canadians who have disabilities, seniors, and persons without an income -all the people who need financial help more than ever? I stood up in the House of Commons to ask the government why they have been left behind. You can see me in the House of Commons, asking my question here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKj_hhRuBjU
