MPP: Jagmeet Signh - Bramalea-Gore-Malton

Father, may Jagmeet Singh become aware of your presence, not only in the details of his life, but in the world around him. Cause him to look up. Allow him to notice the marvels of your universe. Alert him to the fact that you are near to him. Fill him with a desire to please you in his personal life and in his public life. Bless him with wisdom to make good decisions. Thank you for his labour for the people he represents. Amen.

MPP Singh was elected in the riding of Bramalea-Gore-Malton in the 2011 provincial election. Prior to joining public office he was a criminal defense lawyer in the Brampton and Mississauga area. He has always been a strong voice for vulnerable people and vocal on a number of human rights issues.
