Heavenly Father, Today we pray for Matthew MacKay. We thank You for the many ways and the different portfolios through which he has served the people of Prince Edward Island. May his work—whether in or out of cabinet, on committees, or in serving the people of his district—reflect a desire for the prosperity of every household in the province. May he, by faith, look to the Maker and Builder of all things. “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.” (Hebrews 3:4). As he continues to represent the district in which he lives, help him also to faithfully balance his public role with his role as a husband and father of three children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Matthew MacKay was sworn in as Minister of Social Development and Housing on July 18, 2022. He was first elected in 2015 as the Progressive Conservative MLA for Kensington-Malpeque, and re-elected in the 2019 and 2023 general elections. He previously served as the opposition critic for Economic Development and Tourism, before being elected as a member of the ruling Progressive Conservative party in April 2019. Before entering politics, Minister MacKay worked as a real estate agent and developer. Minister MacKay lives in North Granville with his wife and three children.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
