Megan Leslie: WWF Appointment - Member Statement

MS. CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Megan Leslie on her new posting as the President and CEO of the World Wildlife Fund Canada. For seven years Megan proudly served the federal riding of Halifax, was beloved by her constituents and admired by those working for progressive causes across the country, in addition to her colleagues in the House of Commons.

Now, after serving for 10 months as Senior Advisor to the WWF's World Oceans Team, she will be leading the important work of preventing species' decline in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, it is an understatement to say that Megan Leslie's extensive background in social justice, community and political work, will serve her well in her new role. On behalf of the NDP caucus I wish her the very best of luck.
