Born and raised in Hamilton, Peter is the son of Ukrainian-Canadian immigrants who left communist Poland to build a better life for their family. After finishing his undergraduate degree at McMaster, Peter moved to Ottawa for his master’s degree and then Toronto for law school – becoming the second lawyer in his family.

As a lawyer, Peter represents union members across Canada in international trade matters. He believes in standing up for Canadian workers to ensure their voices are heard in Ottawa – not just the voices of large corporations.

Peter’s experience in law has convinced him that a strong society is based on fairness and the shared success of workers, small businesses, and communities. Peter believes that Canadians want and need a resilient economy that works for everyone – an economy that recognizes the opportunity provided by our country’s land and resources, but also the responsibility to steward our environment for future generations.

Peter has witnessed firsthand the challenges Canadians face: a housing market that locks out too many families, a healthcare system struggling to keep up, and growing uncertainty around the world. But he firmly believes in the power of empathy, perseverance, and community, and that as Canadians, no challenge is too great for the people of Flamborough—Glanbrook—Brant North to overcome together.
