#WEGOTLOUD Spotlight on Elizabeth May

Nominated by: CF Get Loud

Elected Official’s Name: Elizabeth May

Riding: Saanich—Gulf Islands, British Columbia - Member of Parliament (Federal)

How did they Get Loud?:
The CF Get Loud team would like to spotlight Elizabeth May! Upon the creation of the All-Party Emergency Access to Trikafta Caucus, Elizabeth May worked behind the scenes with the CF Community Roundtable group to help it take shape and become a cohesive and non-partisan discussion. She took time out of her schedule to meet with the group before and after the meetings. Her eloquence and sensibilities injected the caucus discussions with a degree of urgency and focus. Her experience and respect with her fellow parliamentarians really helped built a sense of trust and commitment.

Furthermore, she has reached out to the Green Party MLAs/MPPs to solidify their support as the fight for access moves to the provincial arena.

Elizabeth May, on behalf of CF Get Loud, and the rest of the CF community, we’re like to thank you for your support!
