#WEGOTLOUD Spotlight on Ted Falk
Nominated by: Janelle Dawson
Elected Official’s Name: Ted Falk
Riding: Provencher, Member of Parliament (Federal)
How did they Get Loud?:
I sent my first email to Mr. Falk in the spring of 2020 explaining the importance of getting Trikafta into Canada. I got a response much quicker than I had anticipated and we have been making huge strides since! Mr. Falk has spoke in the House of Commons during question period addressing our concerns to Mr. Trudeau himself. He has sent several emails to our provincial Health Minister and Premier. A letter was addressed to the Federal Health Minister signed by him and numerous of his colleagues urging Health Canada to approve Trikafta. He also sent out a newsletter to the entire Provencher riding with a full page write up highlighting the importance of gaining access to these life saving medicines and addressing his support. He has been in constant communication and has provided us with many updates along the way. I am very thankful to have such an amazing MP!
