Tours of Parliament Hill and Attending Question Period
As your Member of Parliament, I dedicate much of my time to fulfilling my responsibilities in Ottawa, and I warmly encourage any constituents planning a trip to the capital to experience the Canadian Parliament in action. Parliament Hill is open to visitors free of charge, seven days a week. You can explore the rich history of our Parliament by taking a guided tour, attending live debates, or visiting iconic sites like the Peace Tower and the Memorial Chamber.
For constituents from Barrie-Innisfil, I would be delighted to personally welcome you to my Parliamentary office on the Hill. If you plan to visit Ottawa, reach out to my office for any assistance. For more information about touring Parliament Hill, click here.
