Four Commitments for a Stronger Outaouais
Sophie delivers on her promise for green spaces, housing, and infrastructure.
When she was elected in 2021, Sophie made four key commitments alongside her colleagues in the Outaouais caucus:
Protect our green spaces, including Gatineau Park.
Prioritize affordable housing.
Secure funding for essential infrastructure and housing.
Expand transportation options to improve connectivity.
She has delivered on all fronts.
Protecting Gatineau Park for Future Generations
Did you know that Gatineau Park is not considered a true park?
Since her election as Member of Parliament for Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi, Sophie has been determined to make Gatineau Park a real park! This natural treasure, with its exceptional biodiversity, must be preserved for the community and their children.
In the summer of 2024, she had the honor of working with Senator Rosa Galvez to draft a bill to protect Gatineau Park. The legislation aims to establish clear official boundaries and safeguard the park for the Canadian people—dedicated to their enjoyment, education, and benefit. The park’s ecological integrity will be preserved, and it will be managed in a way that keeps it intact for future generations.
Kidjīmāninān Biodiversity Project
A bold initiative led by the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg to protect biodiversity in the Outaouais region.
Sophie believes protecting biodiversity is essential to the health of our environment, our economy, and our communities. Through her Green and Prosperous Outaouais initiative, she helped mobilize regional partners, Indigenous leadership, and environmental organizations to advance conservation in the Outaouais. This collaboration helped lead to the Kidjīmāninān project, a regional initiative led by the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg community to protect biodiversity-rich areas and support Canada’s conservation commitments.
Building More Housing and Stronger Communities
Concrete solutions to meet local needs and support growth in Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi
Sophie believes everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home and a community with the infrastructure it needs to thrive. She has worked to advance housing and infrastructure solutions that respond to local realities, support rural communities, and help move important projects forward across Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi.
A Voice for Agriculture and Agri-Food
Supporting our producers and strengthening the future of agriculture in Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi
Farmers and food producers are at the heart of our rural communities and our economy. Sophie has worked to ensure they have a strong voice in federal decision-making, advocating for the tools and support they need to adapt to climate change, strengthen innovation, and protect Canada’s food security.
Advancing Connectivity in Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi
Improving Internet and cellular access for our rural communities
Reliable internet and cellular service are essential to daily life, especially in rural communities. Sophie has worked to keep connectivity on the federal agenda, supporting investments that expanded high-speed internet access in Quebec while continuing to advocate for better cellular coverage in underserved areas of Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi.
Advancing the Gatineau–Ottawa Tramway
A modern public transit system to support the growth of our region
As our region grows, so does the need for modern, efficient, and sustainable public transit. Sophie has made the Gatineau–Ottawa Tramway a key priority, working with federal partners and local leaders to help secure funding for key studies, build momentum behind the project, and keep the transportation needs of Gatineau and the Outaouais on the agenda.
Green Book
From Global to Local and from Local to Global in the Outaouais (coming in 2026)
Sophie believes elected officials have an important role to play in turning big challenges into concrete local action. Through the Green Book, she is sharing the lessons of her work in the Outaouais to help inspire other leaders to mobilize their communities, connect local priorities to broader change, and build a greener and more prosperous future.
