What is case work?
One of my most important duties as your representative in the House of Commons is to assist you when dealing with federal departments and agencies – this assistance is referred to as case work. My staff and I are happy to help you secure the services and benefits paid for by our tax dollars. Please email us or call the Constituency Office.
Appointments are necessary to ensure your privacy and the expediency of your file.
Constituents may wish to approach my office for assistance when communicating with or requesting responses from a federal department or agency, when they wish to appeal a decision and need direction, or if they have lost important documents. Examples of federal departments and agencies that we work with include Service Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canada Revenue Agency, and Veterans Affairs Canada, among others.
Please email us at [email protected] or call the Constituency Office at 780-657-7075 to speak to a Case Specialist.
Helpful Tips:
Before you contact my office for assistance with your case, it is important to determine if your concern is something that my office has the authority and jurisdiction to help you with.
I can help you if you need assistance dealing with a federal department or agency. A federal agency is an organization that reports to the Executive branch of the Canadian Government such as Parks Canada or Farm Credit Canada, to name a few. If your concern is with a federal agency, my staff are authorized to investigate on your behalf.
Attempt to resolve the problem with the federal agency yourself. Ensure you have contacted them with your issue and have received a response before you contact my office.
According to the House of Commons Standards of Official Conduct, I cannot act as an attorney or offer legal assistance in any way. While I will make my best efforts to assist you, please remember that federal agencies have discretion concerning decisions on individual cases and have the final say on the outcome.
How to Open a Case
