I couldn’t believe it,” said Lia Lousier, the mother to nine-year-old Braeden.At least six United Conservative Party MLAs travelled abroad over the holidays, despite warnings from both the province and federal government not to travel.

He was born in November 2011 and has struggled with health issues his entire life.“He’s been through major heart surgery, he’s been through major abdominal surgery,” Lousier.
