I am proud to represent Mission-Matsqui Fraser Canyon in the House of Commons. Everyday I hear from residents throughout our 31 First Nations, and 8 municipalities and 3 regional districts and strive to best serve as your voice in the House of Commons. Below is a short update on some my work for Canada’s #1 riding. For regular email updates, sign up at brad.vis.ca.

Disaster Recovery

Our continued advocacy for disaster recovery funding has resulted in a top-up of Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangement funding. Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair visited Abbotsford to announce $557M to the Province to be distributed to municipalities as we recover from fire, flood and landslides. This brings the total to over $1B, the most DFAA has ever been delivered.

Excise Tax Increase

On April 1st, Canadians will be hit with the largest beer tax increase in our country’s history. As the Conservative Shadow Minister for Small Business Recovery and Growth, I am concerned about the impact this increase will have on local bars, restaurants and breweries as they continue to battle inflation and repeated disruptions to supply chains.

In Budget 2017, the Liberals added an automatic escalator to the excise tax on beer, meaning that every April the tax is increased based on inflation. Due to the high inflation rates of last year, this year’s increase is a record-breaking 6.4 per cent. In recent months, I have called on this government to cancel this automatic increase and give our local breweries, restaurants and bars a break.

Public Safety

Last month I co-hosted a townhall meeting on public safety and the federal criminal code with MP Ed Fast and video contribution from Abbotsford Police Department. It is clear that major reforms to bail and conditional sentencing are needed to keep repeat violent offenders off our streets, a reversal of the Supreme Court’s extreme intoxication ruling is needed to prioritize victims over offenders and we need to bolster efforts on anti-gang measures for at risk youth.
