Sudbury MP Viviane Lapointe is going door to door in the riding. She says she is looking for honest feedback from her constituents on the job that she’s doing.
“I call it my Feedback Tour,” said MP Lapointe. “It’s an opportunity to hear directly from constituents about what is top of mind. We are having good, meaningful conversations about how they are doing, and how our government is doing.”
The MP said since January, she and her team “have made calls, conducted surveys, and hosted town hall sessions; also dropping into local coffee shops to chat with residents.”
But with the coming of warmer weather, Lapointe is taking the show on the road in neighborhoods across the city.
“Some people ask why I’m going door-to-door when there isn’t an election. The answer is simple: I tell them I want to hear from them. They really appreciate being listened to.”
Of the feedback she has already received, Lapointe said top of mind for her constituents are higher costs of living, housing shortages and supporting seniors.
“The responses I am getting are essential to my job as MP,” she said. “The feedback I receive, I bring back to Ottawa with me. And I know when I’m in Ottawa, I am championing what matters most to our community.”
