I've just announced two new dates in my series of Virtual Coffee with Colin events in January and February 2021

These Zoom-based online meetings are a great opportunity to get together with constituents and discuss concerns with federal issues, programs, policies -- and politics in general.

I've just announced two new October dates in my series of Virtual Coffee with Colin events.

Dear Constituents,

Out of an abundance of caution the House of Commons recently adopted a motion (based on a recommendation from the Board of Internal Economy) that the House remain suspended until April 20, 2020.

If you are an Oshawa resident – meaning that you reside within the portion of the City of Oshawa south of Taunton Road – and have an issue with a federal program or service, please complete this form.

One of my helpful and experienced Constituency Assistants or I will reach out to arrange a discussion or open a case file on your behalf.

Do you live north of Taunton Road or outside the Oshawa riding?

If you live in the portion of the City of Oshawa lying north of Taunton Road, you are a resident of the Durham riding. You must seek assistance from the Member of Parliament for Durham, Jamil Jivani. Mr. Jivani was elected to Parliament in March 2024.

If you live in Whitby, Ajax, Pickering or another community in Durham Region or beyond, please do not complete this form as we cannot assist you. You MUST visit your local MP's office for help. We may only serve residents of the Oshawa riding.

Is Your Matter Time-Sensitive?

If your business is time-sensitive (i.e.: you require urgent passport, travel or overseas assistance), please telephone my office at 905.440.4868 during regular working hours or send a note to [email protected].

Personal Authorization Form

For all casework, we will require your personal information and case details. After we review your submission, we will ask you to sign a personal authorization form which our office requires before we can contact a federal Department or Agency on your behalf.

Please bear in mind that we handle high numbers of enquiries from constituents on a daily basis. 

We'll do our best to get back to you within 24 to 48 hours. Please note that we are closed on weekends and statutory holidays.

Please let us know if the greeting is for a milestone birthday, anniversary or another special event such as the opening of a new business, etc.

Be sure to provide as much all relevant details including your full name and contact information along with the full name and contact information of your recipient.

If you would like us to mail this greeting to you in advance of a special event we will accomodate your request -- usually within one week. If, however, you require this greeting for an event that may occur within the next 5-10 days, please call my office directly at 905.440.4868 (Mon-Fri) to speak with one of my assistants to ensure receive immediate assistance. We don't want you to miss out!

We have a limited supply of Canadian flag pins available to Oshawa constituents (only) on a first-come/first-served basis. Owing to Canada Post regulations we cannot mail pins to constituents. This is a safety issue for postal workers and mail carriers.

Please submit your request below and we'll be in touch to arrange contact-free pick-up at my office, usually within 48-72 hours.

If you do not reside within the Oshawa riding (the portion of our city lying south of Taunton Rd), my office cannot provide you with flags, pins or promotional materials.

If you live north of Taunton Rd in Oshawa, you are a constituent of the Durham riding, you must contact your Member of Parliament, Jamil Jivani.

If you live elsewhere in Durham Region, Ontario or Canada, please search for your federal MP here.

Dear Constituent,

The House of Commons provides each Member of Parliament with an annual budget and funding to support his or her Parliamentary duties.

Members' budgets are set by all-party House committee known as the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE). This Board is chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons, currently the Hon. Anthony Rota (Lib, ON).

Operating funds are provided to cover the salaries of each Member's Constituency and Hill employees, constituency office operations (including rent and utilities), Member's travel to and from the constituency, promotional materials (flags, pins), limited local advertising and communications, including printing, postage.

My expenditure reports are published regularly and available on the Board's website.

To view current or past disclosures, select the appropriate financial period from this list then click on "Expenditures by Member". Once list of Members loads, simply check the box beside my name (CARRIE, Colin) then click "Next" to view the most recent detail.

Best wishes,

Colin
