Shafqat Ali is a triumphant entrepreneur and a proud husband and father of three. From humble beginnings to an inspiring immigrant success story, he personally understands what it means to struggle, fight and succeed. As the Liberal Representative for Brampton Centre, Shafqat is committed to being a prominent voice for our community in the House of Commons and will strive diligently to ensure you have a brighter Canadian future.

He is a passionate community leader who firmly believes that all Canadians should actively participate in the democratic process, in order to improve their lives as well as the lives of fellow Canadians. In addition, Shafqat also possesses a strong dedication towards community service, as he has demonstrated throughout his 13 years of residing and volunteering in our community as a youth coordinator and youth mentor. His contributions have included: forming a youth sports club; organizing festivals, fundraisers for local hospitals, food banks, and various other community organizations. Shafqat has also led many other community initiatives, such as successfully advocating for the cricket pitch on White Clover Way, in Mississauga.

Now as the Liberal representative for Brampton Centre, he is committed to bringing that same passion, dedication and energy to being your voice in the nation’s capital, Ottawa. Shafqat believe’s he can appropriately represent our community as a Member of Parliament because he has firsthand experience with the unexpected difficulties life can throw your way. When Shafqat was 10 years old, he tragically lost his father, who was his mentor, role model and best friend. His mother then raised him on her own, enduring the hardships of being a single parent. This led Shafqat to develop a very thick-skin, a high level of resilience, as well as a passion for learning and growing. He used these traits to help him develop and mature, and eventually move to Canada, which he did with only a small suitcase and a very big dream: to succeed in this beautiful land of opportunity and community.

Shafqat recognizes the tremendous opportunities that Canada provides, but can also identify and empathize for the hardships of a struggling immigrant, or a single mother, or a university student unable to pay their tuition fees. It is due to his personal experiences and hardships, continuous community involvement, and his leadership qualities that Shafqat will effectively make a difference in our community. As your Member of Parliament, Shafqat will passionately focus on moving Brampton Centre forward, towards a brighter Canadian future.
