On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we honour the Survivors of the residential school system and remember those who never came home.

This morning, we commemorated the victims and first responders whose lives were lost in the terrorist attacks against the United States that took place on September 11, 2001. Those victims included 24 Canadians, a reminder of the close ties between our two countries.
Ontario was proud to stand with our American friends and neighbours that day, with volunteers and first responders heading south of the border to help. We will never back down from standing with our allies in defence of our shared values.

More than 150 fire crews and nearly 50 firefighting aircraft are working around the clock to protect communities from the fires in northern Ontario.
Our government won’t spare a penny to support their heroic work, and we’re doubling down with historic investments in new firefighting crews and equipment to keep Ontario safe.

I was proud to announce, on behalf of Minister @RobFlackEML, that the City of St. Catharines and the City of Welland will receive a total of $4.5 million through Ontario’s Building Faster Fund in recognition of their success in exceeding provincial housing targets. 🏗️🏡
Together, these municipalities have helped bring forward more than 1,500 new housing units, creating more opportunities for families and supporting the continued growth of the region.
Thank you to Mayor Mat Siscoe and Mayor Frank Campion for their leadership. And thank you to Minister @samoosterhoff for your strong advocacy on behalf of all the communities in Niagara.đź‘Ź

Housing does not happen in isolation. If Ontario is going to build more homes, then we must also build and support the infrastructure that makes those homes possible.
Proud to speak on Bill 98, the Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act.
RT @fordnation: Congratulations to our Toronto Blue Jays on an incredible, hard-fought World Series.

This week the Ontario government introduced the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025 that would, if passed, protect Ontario’s economy and keep workers on the job by cutting red tape, getting shovels in the ground faster and supporting the construction of homes, roads and infrastructure. The proposed legislation also includes measures that would reduce gridlock, relieve backlog at the Landlord and Tenant Board and promote increased supply of rental housing.
"The OSWCA welcomes Minister Flack’s legislation as a positive step forward in accelerating the construction of critical water and wastewater infrastructure through a public utility model. Innovative and sustainable financing tools to help fund this infrastructure will be essential, with more than $250 billion in investments needed over the next decade to accommodate Ontario’s growth. Our members - who build and maintain this infrastructure every day - stand ready to help deliver on this plan and get projects built. We look forward to continuing to work with the province and our municipal partners to advance this important initiative."

We were thrilled to attend the Government of Ontario's announcement this morning to lower the cost of homeownership, putting up to $80,000 back in the pockets of first-time home buyers – a big win for the next generation of Ontarians. Read our statement: orea.com/resources/media-roo…

Concrete is now being poured in St. Thomas as work speeds ahead on Volkswagen’s new EV battery plant, which will directly employ 3,000 Ontario workers once it’s up and running!

Thanks to @CityNewsTO for sharing the exciting work the @CityBrampton is doing with @HabitatGTA to build housing now.
We don’t just talk about housing in #Brampton. We actually build housing!

OREA is thrilled to see the Government of Ontario embracing factory-built homes. This will help unlock housing supply so that more Ontario families can achieve the dream of homeownership – one of many recommendations in OREA’s factory-built housing report: orea.com/MadeinOntario
Our government is taking an all-hands approach to get shovels in the ground. Today, on World Habitat Day, we are announcing a partnership with Habitat for Humanity GTA and the City of Toronto to build 33 attainable units. We will continue to work with our municipal partners and organizations to support modular homebuilding and keep the dream of homeownership alive.

This expansion means more Ontario homes will be made by Ontario workers using Ontario wood, supporting our forestry sector and keeping workers on the job.
Today, our government proudly welcomed a $107M investment from @elementfiveco, a homegrown mass timber manufacturer in St. Thomas.
This expansion will create 150 new, good-paying jobs across the region and support the rising demand for modular building materials.
By leveraging the strength of the forestry sector, our government is increasing competitiveness, securing domestic supply chains, and unlocking new opportunities for Ontario’s workers, builders, and homeowners.

I’ve been clear: The Bank of Canada needs to cut interest rates.
It’s one of the most effective ways to protect Ontario jobs and workers from the economic uncertainty caused by President Trump’s tariffs.
