Today's Speaker
Kristen introduced our speaker, MP for Cambridge and environs,  Connie Cody. No relation to Paul. She thanked us for our community and international efforts. She gave us an official certificate for our 100th anniversay.
Connie was born and raised in Cambridge. Her parents came from Eastern Europe seeking opportunity and freedom. Prior to Public life she had worked in Systems Architecture. But she had always been committed to community and Volunteerism. Her interests being seniors, Veterans, environment, accessibility and women's issues. As an MP she chairs the Canada-Germany IntraParliamentary Group, vice-chair of 2 other committees and a member of the Status of Women Committee. She lives in Cambridge with husband, 2 daughters and 5 grand daughters.
She has tabled a bill in the House of Commons and now is working on a private members's Bill addressing the issue of Copper theft. Cambridge is a hot bed of copper theft and illegal sales of stolen copper. This theft creates safety issues and big expense for replacement.
She said that opposition parties safeguard democracy in government.
She does not plan to cross over to the Liberals. She was asked a question about Mr Pollievre's leadership. 
She was thanked by Rajbir Mann.
Next week, Julie Walbert Rotary Exchange Student is on the hustings.
There were good jokes as mentioned. Have a good and safe week. Sign up for our 100th.
