For my government placement, I am with MPP Ric Bresee of Hastings—Lennox and Addington. MPP Bresee was elected in 2022 and is currently serving as the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry.
MPP Bresee comes to the Legislature with a very diverse background, from working as a Systems Analyst to a college Instructor to former Mayor of his riding. Having lived in his riding for most of his life, MPP Bresee’s passion for his community and its members has left me eager to visit. Along with his passion for his riding, MPP Bresee also brings his wealth of municipal knowledge, which allows him to advocate for his constituents that much more effectively.
In regard to Ministry work, MPP Bresee has given me the opportunity to research different environmental policies that the government is currently considering. Each day, I am learning fascinating facts about I topic I had no prior knowledge in, and I am thoroughly enjoying the process.
Thank you to MPP Bresee and Joseph for welcoming me into the office! I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue learning throughout my government placement and better understand how legislation gets passed!
