For the first part of the show today, we welcome Celina Caesar-Chavannes. Ms. Caesar-Chavannes is the former MP for the riding of Whitby, serving as Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for just over a year, and then Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Development.
In March 2019 she announced that she would not seek re-election in the next election, and 18 days later she was sitting as an Independent in the House of Commons.
We’re gonna talk about all of that, plus Ms. Caesar-Chavannes’ work in equity and inclusion and the aggressions and micro-aggressions she experienced as a Black woman working on Parliament Hill.
