Briefly, why are you seeking to be elected mayor?

Again, there's no doubt that this community can be so much more.

I don't have to point out the city's potential.

It's what I fell in love with when I moved here in 2009 and why I decided this was going to be the place where my wife and I, we decided that this would be the place that we would put down our roots and raise our family.

My wife is from here originally, so I always say she's the one to either credit or blame for my being here in this community.

And when we came back to Canada from the United States where I was practicing law in Washington, D.C., my in-laws said, well, you can live with us while you figure out your next career path.

I knew that I was not going to practice law anymore.

Before I turn to how you will govern and how you will lead, briefly, I wish you to explain two of your platform priorities and why you think they are important.
