A Warm Welcome from Nova Scotia's
Senator Don Oliver

Thank you for stopping by to visit my website. I hope you find this site an efficient research tool and a valuable source of information about the Senate of Canada and my work there on behalf of all Canadians. I invite you to browse the website to learn about the issues and concerns that engage my attention and energy. You will find information about my Senate Committee work; texts of speeches and press releases; statements from the Senate Chamber; copies of my newsletter, Update from the Senate; and links to related sites.

Many of my personal interests and passions have an important bearing on the work I do as a Senator. For this reason, you will also find information about me and some of my activities beyond Parliament Hill. It is my sincere hope that this website provides you with a sense of who I am, what I have done, and what I am striving to achieve for all Canadians.

As the First Session of Canada’s 39^th Parliament gets underway, we will no doubt see a number of issues galvanize national attention, including Canada’s commitment to the people of Afghanistan, global warming, Canada’s equalization program, and, of course, the economy. I look forward to working with my fellow parliamentarians to improve the quality of life for all Canadians, and to ensure a transparent and accountable government. I invite you to contact my office if there is any way I can be of service to you.
