“My latest public forums are designed spark conversation, and give people a chance to tell me their concerns directly about how and where the government is spending their tax dollars.” said Hyer. “Should we be spending billions on Afghanistan? On corporate tax cuts? On EI? Health care? I want to hear your ideas and opinions – they will inform my work in championing local concerns in Ottawa.”
