VANCOUVER, British Columbia,

Technology Inc. ("ParcelPal" or the "Company"), (CSE: PKG) (CSE:
PKG.CN) (FSE: PT0) (OTC: PTNYF) is pleased to welcome Ontario MP
Parm Gill as an advisor to the Board
of Directors.
Parm Gill is the current Member of Provincial Parliament
for Milton. Prior to his work in public service, Parm was involved
in several family businesses in the manufacturing and hospitality
industries. Parm studied at the Ivey School of Business at
Western University, earning his Master
of Business Administration degree.
Before being elected to the Ontario Legislature in 2018, Parm
was the Federal Member of Parliament for Brampton-Springdale from 2011-2015.
While serving as the MP in the Canadian House of Commons, Parm
was appointed as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of
Veteran Affairs, and later, the Minister of International Trade.
Throughout his tenure, Parm was a member of many committees
including the Standing Committee of Public Safety and National
Security, Health, Canadian Heritage, Veterans Affairs, and
International Trade.
In 2012, Parm introduced a Private Member's Bill, C-394. His
bill introduced a new Criminal Code offense: prohibiting the
recruitment or encouragement of a person to join a criminal
organization. The bill passed with unanimous consent and became law
in June 2014. The bill works to keep
our streets, neighbourhoods, and committees safer which has always
been a top priority for Parm.
As Chair of the Standing Committee on Justice Policy, Parm
continues his advocacy work to keep our communities safe. The
committee is responsible for studying and providing recommendations
on bills related to policing and the courts.
President and CEO Kelly Abbott
states, "I am very excited to have Parm join the Advisory Board.
Mr. Gill's knowledge on economic issues and private sector
experience will be an asset for ParcelPal moving forward. Mr. Gill
has changed criminal law for the better and is always looking for
the betterment of safety for all Canadians."
Parm Gill stated, "I am excited
to be joining a company that has put public safety first. As
ParcelPal moves further into cannabis and alcohol delivery, I am
happy to advise on how they can continue the fight against
intoxicated people on the roads and getting their products safely.
ParcelPal has a bright future and I am excited to be part of a team
that will grow their business across Canada and the
United States."
