Eugene McDermott - Conservative

I appreciate very much that you have contacted me and passed along your views on a matter that is very important to you.

It is crucial that a Member of Parliament be accessible to receiving information and views from constituents both before and after the election. No Member or government can be effective in representing the people without an open and honest exchange of thoughts.

I certainly agree that the Arts have contributed immensely to our way of life in this riding, in Toronto and in Canada. I believe that a Conservative government will be highly aware of this fact and will foster a positive climate for the Arts. I look forward to supporting the government in this regard.

Again I thank you and I look forward to working with you and all the people of Don Valley East in the next term of the government.
