Participants on MicroSkills East's visit to the MP's office today had a closer look at Canada's system of government. And what a treat it was to have Dr. Joe Daniel, our Member of Parliament, an immigrant himself, share about his personal decision and experience of going into politics. To assure us that getting your name on the ballot for the federal election is not that difficult, he told us all we needed was $1,000.
Of even greater relevance was his advice to newcomers wanting to break into the Canadian job market: volunteer. He also gave some wonderful advice on accreditation for engineers, being one himself. As well, various nuggets and snippets of parliamentary life--what an interesting and inspiring meeting it was.
