He is committed to principled politics and practical solutions, believing Canadian prosperity and well-being depends upon the balance between a strong economy and a healthy environment.

Saab understands the strain retiring baby boomers will place on social services as well as the need for vibrant local economies and long-term resource management. His key issues in the 2008 federal election are food security, water ‘as a right’, childcare and city infrastructure funding.
