As a teacher, administrator, Halton School Trustee, Town Councillor and Halton Regional Councillor, Ms. Brown has built a solid reputation for bringing Oakville’s values to the development of public policy.
As Oakville’s Member of Parliament since 1993, Ms. Brown has served as Chair of the caucus committee on Social Policy and as a parliamentary secretary for two years. During the last session of Parliament, she chaired the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health to which she was unanimously re-elected by MPs from all political parties.
