This morning, I had the pleasure of joining Mayor Drew Dilkens, Mayor Gary McNamara, Parliamentary Secretary @mckelvieAJAX, and MPP @AndrewDowieMPP to announce up to $84.4 million for the City of Windsor and the Town of Tecumseh collectively, through the Development Charge Reduction Program.   This funding will support new housing and infrastructure to keep both communities growing and thriving. By cutting the cost of development, we can create better conditions to build and provide more families in Windsor and Tecumseh with a place to call home.   Thank you to Mayors Dilkens and McNamara for your strong leadership.

A beautiful evening celebrating the CIBPA Hamilton-Halton Excellence Awards alongside remarkable leaders who contribute so much to our community and help shape its future. I was humbled to receive the Professional Excellence Award and accept it with gratitude on behalf of the LiUNA members and families we proudly represent, our community partners, and the generations of Italian Canadians who came before us. They arrived with little and built so much, not only for our families, but for the communities we all call home. Carrying their legacy forward is both an honour and a responsibility, to leave our communities stronger than we found them, while remaining proud of the Italian roots that helped shape who we are, something my parents instilled in us at a very young age. Congratulations to my fellow recipients: Dennis Concordia, Lidio Mancini, Joshua Santucci and Marisa Mariella. It was an honour to be recognized alongside you. Thank you, Charlie Agro and congratulations to Sergio Leuzzi, President of CIBPA Hamilton-Halton for your leadership, and everyone who helped make the evening such a meaningful celebration of excellence, community and Italian heritage. Sempre Avanti

Doug Ford & our Ontario PC team are making homeownership more affordable by removing the full 13% HST on eligible new homes & cutting development charges. That means potential savings of up to $200,000 for homebuyers. ontariopc.ca/2026/10/23/onta…

Always impressed by the generosity of our community — families who turn loss into legacy. It was uplifting to join @StevenDelDuca and @nadeem_mahmood to welcome a $100,000 donation from Asif Khan in honour of his late wife. This donation will support STEM education for over 600 students at the new Tanya Khan Public Elementary School, a beautiful example of light in the darkness.

Today, I visited the Gladstone Cadbury factory to mark 120 years of operations. With products reaching consumers across Ontario, Canada and beyond, the factory is part of a global supply chain. We’ll keep working to strengthen Ontario’s manufacturing sector, protect good-paying jobs and build a more competitive economy.

A strong team delivering results for Ontario and Canada. Looking forward to continuing to work alongside @RudyCuzzetto and @davidsmithmpp as Parliamentary Assistants to the Ministry of Energy and Mines. Together with @Rae_Matt, we are advancing generational nuclear energy expansion, faster mining permitting, all-Canadian pipelines, and a stronger Canadian supply chain. With continuity, renewed ambition, and a relentless focus on speed, we will build on this momentum with @fordnation to unleash our full economic potential for Ontario and for Canada.

Last year, Ontario secured an agreement that eliminated federal duplication for the roads to the Ring of Fire. This summer, we got shovels in the ground on the roads to the Ring of Fire five years ahead of schedule. Today, @fordnation and the Prime Minister announced that the Federal Government will match Ontario's existing $1 billion commitment to build the roads. With tariff and trade uncertainty, this is another step forward as we advance responsible resource development that will create 70,000 good jobs and unlock $22 billion for Canada's economy.

In these uncertain economic times, our government is maintaining disciplined and responsible fiscal management, while continuing to protect workers, fortify our industrial base and build Ontario's economy. Despite global economic headwinds, we have everything we need right here in Ontario to succeed. On October 29, I will release Ontario's 2026 Fall Economic Statement, providing an update on the province's economic and fiscal outlook. #ONFES2026

We’re saving Ontario businesses an additional $160 million next year, keeping Ontario competitive in the face of tariffs and helping businesses reinvest to create jobs here in the province.
Ontario is continuing to lead the country in lowering costs for businesses! At @memafoods today with Ministers @ninatangri and @KingaSurmaMPP, where we highlighted the @WSIB’s latest premium rate reduction, saving employers $160 million next year and helping them keep workers on the job as they face the impact of U.S. tariffs. These savings complement our government's $150M Ontario Together Trade Fund and $1B Protect Ontario Financing Program, giving businesses more tools to weather economic uncertainty.

Ontario is bringing in dedicated legislation to speed up the expansion of Highway 69 by five years, improving highway safety and securing a critical connection for interprovincial trade and Canadian sovereignty.
Northern Ontario has waited long enough for a safer, more reliable Highway 69.   Our government is introducing the Building Highway 69 Faster Act to cut through red tape and accelerate the widening of Highway 69 between Parry Sound and Sudbury by five years.   We're improving road safety, strengthening our northern economy and getting it done faster. This is how we Protect Ontario.
