LEAMINGTON/CHATHAM-KENT – Member of Parliament Dave Epp didn’t waste any time getting his feet wet with local issues. On Saturday, Oct. 26, the newly elected Conservative MP for Chatham-Kent–Leamington toured the shoreline areas affected by erosion and flooding in Erieau, Cotterie Park Road and Point Pelee Drive. “I had a briefing on shoreline issues and toured the problem areas,” said Epp. Epp looks forward to hearing from the residents of his constituency. “We will be hosting town halls and round table discussions on local issues like shorelines and greenhouses,” said Epp. Epp hasn’t wasted any time getting himself familiar with local issues and his new office in Parliament. Epp was in Ottawa for two days for new MP orientation sessions. “I’m jumping in. My campaign promise was to be all in and I’ve already started,” he said. As a longtime farmer, Epp looks forward to tackling agricultural issues including labour shortages across the skills sector and agricultural labour. “There’s something like 16,000 unfilled agricultural labour positions across Canada… There’s just not enough across Canada,” he stated. Epp looks forward to taking a look at the different temporary and seasonal worker programs. Epp is finalizing his constituency offices in Leamington (15 Princess Street) and Chatham (48 Center Street). Once he settles in, Epp plans to start the first round of town hall meetings where constituents can bring their concerns. Announcements are anticipated by mid to late November.
