#WEGOTLOUD Spotlight on Martin Shields

Nominated by: Amanda Bartels

Elected Official’s Name: Martin Shields

Riding: Bow River, Alberta - Member of Parliament (Federal)

How did they Get Loud?:
Martin Shields was the first MP to mention bring attention to our need for Trikafta in the House of Commons, a year ago in January, 2020. I met virtually with Martin in March, 2020 and he promised to help us as much as he can. Since then Trikafta and the PMPRB have become household names in parliament and he has continued demanding answers all year long, most recently in December 2020. He has joined the all party group of MPs committed to helping us get access to Trikafta.
