The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, and the Nuclear Innovation Institute.We have The Honourable Sean Fraser with us today, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.A proud son of Pictou County, Minister Fraser first entered public life in 2015 when he was elected MP for Central Nova. Before politics, he had a successful legal career practising commercial litigation and international dispute resolution. And prior to his current cabinet post he served as Parliamentary Secretary in a number of portfolios … to the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Middle Class Prosperity … to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change … as well as to the Deputy Prime Minister. And here’s an interesting tidbit we’re surely going to put to the test today, Minister Fraser was chosen as “Best Orator” during Macleans’ 12th Annual Parliamentarians of the Year Awards.So, here’s where we’re going with this:We’ll find out a little more about Minister Fraser’s life and what shaped him for a career in politics.The meaty stuff about his key Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship portfolio. Where’s he and the government going with it, and why?What are some of the knock down issues he’s dealing with around housing, wage impacts and temporary workers.And finally, we’ll talk pure politics. About the Liberal Party. About Parliament today. The next election … and anywhere else his oration skills take us!Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.
