Yesterday, I had the chance to ask Minister @samoosterhoff about Schedule 3 of Bill 109, which will allow for him to prohibit certain foreign national people or companies from speculating on our farmland, something of interest to local farmer Mel Foster from Carleton.

Putting Ontario’s food independence first 🚜 🧑🌾
With Bill 109, the Protecting Ontario’s Food Independence Act, we are proposing:
- restrictions on foreign ownership of our farmland
- support for innovative research
- modernized veterinary care
- more red tape reduction
That’s how we’re building a more sovereign, secure, and self-reliant agri-food sector.
Entrepreneurs. Creators. Builders.
A privilege to thank those who build businesses small and large, at the @ChamberGrimsby business awards last night!
Learning a trade is one of the best decisions a young person can make.
By 2035, one in six job openings in our province will be in the skilled trades. That’s why we’re investing over $64 million to create 4,000 new apprenticeship training seats each year, giving more young people the opportunity to build rewarding, lifelong careers.

Ontario’s HST rebate on new homes has protected nearly 28,000 good-paying Ontario jobs over the last six months, saving thousands of families up to $130,000 off the cost of a new home and keeping the dream of homeownership alive in the province.

Modernizing veterinary care in Ontario! 🐄
Appreciated meeting with @cvo_org this afternoon to go over our plan to reduce red tape and modernize regulations to better support the veterinarians who protect animal health across the province.
Great to welcome Alessio Mammi and the Emilia-Romanga delegation to Queen’s Park - building on Ontario’s flourishing partnership with Italy! 🇨🇦🇮🇹
As global trade shifts, we’re strengthening existing partnerships, building stronger alliances, and unlocking new markets to protect Ontario’s agri-food sector.
Another win for Ontario farmers! 🌾
We’re cutting taxes to make it easier for farmers to invest in their operations, modernize, and strengthen their competitiveness - as part of our plan to build a sovereign, secure, and self-reliant agri-food sector.
Thanks to @OntarioFarms for their ongoing support for this work!

I was pleased to deliver Ontario’s 2026 Fall Economic Statement which outlines our plan to protect Ontario.
