MP Leah Gazan has been a fierce advocate for people-first policies in 2022. In this clip, Gazan outlines some recent work with the federal NDPs and looks forward to the year ahead.  

“We’re in a human rights crisis … If we want a healthy place to live, then we have to invest in people. And that’s not happening right now.”

Leah Gazan is Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre. She is currently the NDP critic for Children, Families, and Social Development, as well as the critic for Women and Gender Equality, and the deputy critic for Housing. Leah is a member of Wood Mountain Lakota Nation, located in Saskatchewan, Treaty 4 territory.

Then asked: what does this mean we can expect for the year ahead?

The panel featured guests MP Leah Gazan, Chuka Ejeckam, El Jones and Karl Nerenberg. With co-hosts Robin Browne and Libby Davies.
