A Message from Wai Young

Wai Young

Community Advocate, Policy Leader,
Business Owner, Member of Parliament

After speaking with numerous residents of Richmond East-Steveston, it’s clear that many are burdened by daily worries and increased struggles after nine years under the Trudeau-Liberal-NDP government in Ottawa. And things are getting worse.

This pain is being felt in every aspect of Canadian life – in the rising cost of living, a shrinking job market, challenges in accessing healthcare, erosion of parental rights, legalization of drugs, punishing tax increases, and overwhelming government regulation stifling businesses and the economy instead of promoting jobs and growth.

The people of Richmond East-Steveston deserve better. They are tired of a Liberal-NDP government that hinders rather than helps them. They’re ready for a change.

As a former Member of Parliament under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, I’m proud of our Conservative government’s record of balanced budgets, increased trade, lower taxes, and a growing economy. We were tough on crime, increased funding for police, and protected parental rights. Under Conservative leadership, Canada commanded international respect, enjoyed record-low crime rates, and offered the promise of a bright future for all.

Unfortunately, under the Trudeau Liberals, Richmond East-Steveston residents face hardships, and that bright future has dimmed. Life has become more challenging.

The upcoming federal election offers an opportunity for change, but it will be a tough fight for the Conservatives to win in Richmond East-Steveston, without a strong, experienced Conservative candidate.

With over 35 years of experience working with three levels of government, I am the only candidate seeking the nomination with the parliamentary government experience, proven track record, and know-how to fight for the changes we need from Day One! I am committed to winning Richmond East-Steveston and making Pierre Poilievre our next Prime Minister. Together, we will work hard, so that this diverse and resource-rich community will once again thrive with opportunity and growth.

Join me to fight for this change. We need to prepare now to win the nomination. To become your candidate, you must vote for me by becoming a Conservative Party member, at the upcoming nomination meeting.

Together, we will win and it will be my greatest honour to serve as your federal Conservative candidate for Richmond East-Steveston in the next federal election.

With Appreciation,

Wai Young

楊蕭慧儀的話

列治文東-史蒂夫斯頓的人們已經受夠了。他們熱切期盼改善。擁有超過35年的政府工作經驗,我是此選區唯一擁有國會經驗的候選人,擁有備受肯定的成就記錄及我們社區急需的變革奮鬥的知識。

透過與列治文東史蒂夫斯頓(Richmond East-Steveston)眾多居民的交談,我深深感受到他們面對的困難,在自由黨-新民主黨政府執政九年後,居民在日常生活中面臨著越來越大的挑戰。從通膨持續上升、工作機會減少,到學校裡家長權利的削弱和罪案率激增,執政黨對此種種一無作為,稅率增加而不見服務改善, 政府繁文縟節扼殺企業增長。

這並不是我們熟知和熱愛的加拿大。列治文東-史蒂夫斯頓的人們已經受夠了。他們熱切期盼改善。

在我擔任總理哈珀領導下的國會議員期間,我們的保守黨政府實現了預算平衡,減低稅收,並創造了有利於經濟增長的商業環境。我們推出了嚴厲的刑事法律,增加了對執法的支持,並推動保護女性權利的政策。保守黨領導下的加拿大,是一個受到國際尊重、安全且充滿光明前景的國家。

然而,在杜魯多政府的領導下,這個光明的前景變得遙不可及。生活變得更加困難,前進的道路不再清晰。我們豈能譲這困境繼續下去,能坐視不理嗎?

下一屆的聯邦選舉提供了一個變革的機會,但如果沒有一位強大、經驗豐富的保守黨候選人,保守黨要想在列治文東-史蒂夫斯獲勝將是一場艱苦的争奪戰

擁有超過35年的政府工作經驗,我是列治文東-史蒂夫斯頓唯一擁有國會經驗的候選人,並擁有備受肯定的政績及我們區急需的變革奮鬥的知識。我對您的承諾堅定不移,與將成為總理的博勵治(Pierre Poilievre)一起,為列治文東-史蒂夫斯頓帶來變革,讓這個充滿活力、多元文化的社區再次充滿機會和成長,繁華再現。

加入我的行列,成為保守黨黨員並在提名會上投票支持我,助我贏得提名。您的支持將成為我們成功的基石,而能夠忠誠為您服務,成為下一屆聯邦大選中的保守黨候選人,將是我最大的榮幸。

衷心感謝!
