Affordability & Housing
Tax measures and rebates
Liberal's promise
"This middle-class tax cut will save two-income families up to $825 a year, by reducing the marginal tax rate on the lowest tax bracket by 1 percentage point. More than 22 million Canadians will benefit directly from this tax cut, and middle- and low-income Canadians will benefit the most." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
Sovereignty, Foreign Relations, & the United States
National defence
Liberal's promises
"Expand the capabilities of the Navy with new submarines and additional heavy icebreakers to defend the North." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"Creating a first-in-class drone capability that will build and deploy aquatic and airborne uncrewed vehicles to defend our arctic, our undersea infrastructure, our borders, and our allies. This new capability will be matched with an industrial strategy that builds and perfects these technologies so that Canadian companies benefit from Canadian procurements." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will expand the reach and abilities of the Canadian Coast Guard and integrate them into our NATO defence capabilities. Our Coast Guard carries out important work, but we need to update their mission to face changing realities to protect our sovereignty and counter criminal activity, like the trafficking of illicit drugs. That’s why we will give the Canadian Coast Guard a new mandate—and the right equipment—to conduct maritime surveillance operations to secure our coasts." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will modernize our procurement legislation to ensure our Forces can buy the equipment that they need, when they need it—which is now. We can also swiftly surpass our existing defence spending targets and bolster our capabilities by investing in dual purpose infrastructure—whether housing, cybersecurity, or satellite technology—that delivers immediate benefits for both our Forces and the public." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will end the chronic lapsing of defence spending, through the creation of a defence capital account that ensures that even when the timing of an investment changes, every dollar assigned to Canada’s defence will remain for that purpose." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
Biography
Katelyn Zimmer is a second-generation veterinarian and lives with her husband Joe, a civil engineer, and their two children, Stan and Hazel. Their acreage in the Carlton Trail- Eagle Creek riding is also home to three dogs, a horse, pony, two miniature donkeys, and flock of chickens.
Katelyn has strong prairie ties. Her parents were born and raised in Regina; her mother trained as a nurse at the Regina General Hospital, and her father attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon.
Katelyn moved to Saskatoon in 2005 to finish her Bachelor of Science degree in physiology and ended up staying in Saskatchewan after falling in love with the province and her husband! She graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014 with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and has worked in mixed and small animal practice, as well as a locum veterinarian.
Katelyn was actively involved with the Saskatchewan Veterinary Medical Association, serving on council and as a representative on various committees. She now sits on the School Community Council for her children' s school.
Her favourite part about her work as a veterinarian is getting to know people and forming relationships with clients. Katelyn will communicate the unique concerns of her constituents and the prairies, improve dialogue and work constructively to promote unity.
As a wife, mother and an employee of a small business, Katelyn is someone that the residents of Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek can relate to, and she is eager to represent and advocate for rural Saskatchewan.
