New Goals For Nicholls

This summer has been a busy one for Chatham-Kent-Essex MPP Rick Nicholls.

In addition to attending local events, he's also been appointed the PC's Canadian Outreach Chair for the Middle East.

Nicholls says it's been a rewarding job so far.

"There's a lot of countries there, and a lot of people. But I enjoy them, they've embraced me and likewise," he says.

Once the next session at Queen's Park gets underway, Nicholls adds he'll be pushing through Bill 50. That would allow cameras on school buses that would track cars violating stop signs attached to the vehicle.
