It’s been over a year since West Nova MP Chris d’Entremont became Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.

He became the first Acadian to hold the position in November, 2021.

d’Entremont says he’s learned a lot this year, and the role has opened up more conversations.

“Trying to work with other ministers, and trying to get projects done for our area. It was certainly a learning curve the last number of months, but I think we’ve achieved a lot of things that I’m certainly very happy with,” says d’Entremont.

He says Pierre Poilievre becoming leader of the Conservatives was an exciting moment for the party.

d’Entremont says he will continue to advocate for the people of his riding, and Canadians.

“I’ll advocate for their pocketbooks and their bank accounts. Affordability and inflation are major issues for Canadians right now.”
