Three surveys

MP Motz launches budget survey for constituents

Jan 29, 2021 | 2:34 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Local MP Glen Motz has launched budget surveys so that he can bring the views of his constituents to Ottawa.

“Ottawa needs to hear how COVID and other policy decisions by the federal government have impacted our communities, families, workers and small businesses,” Motz, MP for Medicine Hat-Cardston-Warner, says in a release. The federal Liberals are hurting hard-working families, farmers, energy workers and small businesses. These surveys will allow me to bring real, first-hand feedback to Ottawa – but I will need your input to do it.”

There are three different surveys: One for municipal leaders to better understand what communities need; one targeting business owners and the unique challenges they face; and one for individual constituents to provide input.

The release says the short surveys are intended to get a clear picture of how people in the riding are impacted by taxes, debt, COVID programs and policies, as well as what is needed for small businesses, families and municipalities to move forward in restoring jobs and our economy.

Residents of Motz’s riding are encouraged to take the survey that applies to them:

Businesses – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Motz2021Biz

Individuals – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MOTZBudget2021

Or visit www.glenmotzmp.com.

Municipality surveys will be emailed directly to mayors, councils and reeves to collect responses.

The deadline to submit the surveys is Feb. 16.
