Episode 3

Member’s Statement Sampler: Scarborough Subway, Salvation Army & the Somali Community

A Special Video Episode

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario (informally known as Queen’s Park) is the provincial legislature where elected representatives, known as Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs), debate and pass laws that affect all Ontarians – including measures to approve spending and create laws, as well as to deliver Member’s Statements.

This episode features three clips of MPP Smith delivering such Member’s Statements – each representing an opportunity to bring attention to a specific issue, organization or event in Scarborough Centre.

These three Member’s Statements by MPP Smith, taken from 2023 and 2024, provide a glimpse into the workings of Queen’s Park – one of the many ways through which MPP David Smith and his team are always … Working for You! This episode also provides a small example of the many hard-working groups and individuals throughout Scarborough Centre.
