Kyle Seeback MP (born August 19, 1970) is a Canadian politician and lawyer who was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dufferin—Caledon in the 2019 election. He also represented the riding of Brampton West from 2011 to 2015.[1] He was defeated by Sonia Sidhu in the riding of Brampton South during the 2015 Canadian federal election. He is a member of the Conservative Party of Canada.

In 2023, during the 44th Canadian Parliament, Seeback's private member bill: Bill C-242 An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (temporary resident visas for parents and grandparents), was adopted to increase the length of time, from 2 years to 5 years, that a foreign person can be authorized to be a temporary resident for the purposes of visiting a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is their child or grandchild, as well as enabling an insurance company outside Canada to qualify as providing that person's necessary health insurance coverage.[2]

Prior to entering federal politics, Seeback was an employee at Simmons Da Silva & Sinton LLP.

Seeback and his family moved to Amaranth, Ontario in 2009. He has resided in Orangeville, Ontario since 2017.[3][4]


Controversies

[edit]

On December 3, 2013, Seeback is reported to have called his Conservative colleague Brad Butt a "bitch" during an exchange in the House of Commons.[5] Seeback apologized for his "unparliamentary language" the following day.[6]
