Honourable Kamal Khera
Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities
Keynote Speaker
Represents the riding of Brampton West
The Honourable Kamal Khera was first elected as the Member of Parlia-
ment for Brampton West in 2015. She has previously served as Minister of
Seniors, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International
Development, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Reve-
nue, and as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health. Minister
Khera is one of the youngest women ever elected to Parliament. A regis-
tered nurse, community volunteer, and political activist, she is passionate
about improving the lives of those around her. Prior to entering politics, she
worked as a registered nurse in the oncology unit at St. Joseph’s Health
Centre in Toronto, where she gained a deeper understanding of the issues
that impact people’s health and well-being every day.

During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, she went back to her
roots as a registered nurse to volunteer at a hard-hit long-term care facility
in her hometown of Brampton. Minister Khera continued to help on the front
lines throughout the pandemic, including by administering vaccines in her
community.

Truly believing that diversity is our strength, Minister Khera is motivated to
create a better present and future for all Canadians.
