Q: “What should Winnipeg’s plan be for the future of public and active transit?”

Active transport is just as important to ensure winnipeggers have as many reliable options to commute whenever they wish, regardless of whether it’s a car or not.”
Q: “What is your position on reopening Portage and Main to pedestrians?”
A: “My personal opinion is I would like to see it open, however if my constituents vote overwhelmingly one way or the other, I will respect their wishes as their representative.”
