Ontario’s auto workers are among the best in the world and we’re standing shoulder to shoulder with them in the face of U.S. tariffs. In partnership with the federal government, we’re investing $8.7 billion to protect good-paying jobs, strengthen our auto sector and attract new investment. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

Less time in traffic, more time with family. Construction is underway on two new bridges in Peel Region, bringing us one step closer to delivering Highway 413 and faster, more reliable commutes for GTA drivers. Once complete, the new highway will save drivers up to 30 minutes per trip. @fordnation @PrabSarkaria

Ontario is home to some of the best skilled tradespeople in the world, and businesses like Trade Tech are putting that talent to work. It was great to tour Trade Tech in Port Hope with Premier @fordnation and meet the skilled workers whose craftsmanship and expertise are helping build Ontario. Their hard work was recently recognized with the Chamber’s Choice Award from the Port Hope Chamber of Commerce, a well-deserved honour for a great local business. With our $236 billion plan to build underway, we’re counting on hardworking people and homegrown businesses like these to deliver the infrastructure our communities need, create good-paying jobs and strengthen our economy. Thank you to the entire Trade Tech team for everything you do to keep Ontario moving.

Ontario's infrastructure pipeline is moving forward, and the opportunities ahead are significant. It was great to share the stage with Lisa Mitchell and Angela Clayton as we announced Infrastructure Ontario's November 2026 Market Update, featuring more than $22 billion in design and construction opportunities across 21 projects in procurement. Through our historic $236 billion capital plan, we're continuing to move projects forward, create good-paying jobs and build the infrastructure our growing communities depend on. Together, we're building Ontario's future.

Building Ontario's future means creating opportunities that reach beyond our borders. I was pleased to meet with international and industry leaders to strengthen partnerships, explore opportunities for collaboration and advance the infrastructure investments that will keep Ontario growing. I'm focused on making sure Ontario is well positioned to attract investment, deliver major projects and create opportunities for generations to come. Together, we're building Ontario's future.

It’s hardworking people who keep our local businesses running and our communities moving. Great spending time in my riding with Premier @fordnationdougford, talking about the infrastructure needed to support more homes and stopping by McDonald’s to meet the hardworking people who serve our community every day. Thanks to the Rose Glen McDonald’s team for the warm welcome!

If we want to make homeownership more affordable for Ontario families, we need to cut costs and build the infrastructure that makes new housing possible. It was great to join Premier Ford and Minister Flack in Peterborough today as we take action to cut development charges in half, lower housing costs and help unlock more than 9,200 new homes. By supporting the roads, water and wastewater infrastructure that growing communities depend on, we’re creating opportunities for good-paying jobs, supporting local workers and helping more families achieve the dream of homeownership. @fordnationdougford @robflackeml @davesmithptbo @JeffLealPtbo @emmaharrisonmp @michael.eamon

Ontario is building like never before and we need skilled workers who match our ambition. Our $236 billion plan to build will require 400,000 more skilled workers over the next decade. We’re expanding access to apprenticeships and hands-on training to give more young people an opportunity to help build the projects that will define our province’s future.

We’re cutting red tape to get Ontario’s critical minerals out of the ground and into the supply chains that power our economy. Today, @Sflecce announced another step forward for @mayfair_gold’s Fenn-Gib project, with the potential to support 700 jobs and deliver a $3B economic boost. That’s how we build a stronger, more self-sufficient Ontario.

Less red tape. Faster approvals. More shovels in the ground. We’re cutting unnecessary delays to get critical infrastructure built faster, strengthen Ontario’s supply chains, and support the workers and industries driving our economy forward.

Ontario’s greatest assest has always been its people. Providing second chances for people to turn obstacles into opportunity has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done as MPP & Minister. Profound thank you to the entire team at @oaksrevitalization @liuna183 @liuna183training @liunalocal506 @traininglocal598 @iupat_ontario for improving the wellbeing of our communities, and giving people the opportunity to turn their lives around and provide for themselves and their family. Delivering our historic $236 billion infrastructure plan takes a strong, skilled workforce ready to build the roads, bridges, hospitals and other infrastructure our growing communities rely on. From Labour to Infrastruture, one thing hasn’t changed: when Ontario’s workers succeed, our entire province is stronger.

To deliver the infrastructure our growing communities need, we need to build smarter and faster. We’re streamlining archaeological approvals to reduce delays by up to 80%, helping get more projects underway and creating more opportunities for workers.

Behind Ontario’s $236 billion infrastructure plan are the skilled men and women who bring it to life. From a small culvert repair project to the many large hospitals projects currently under construction, one thing remains clear: Ontario’s greatest strength is its people. It was a pleasure to reconnect with construction industry leaders at the @PBCTCOntario Annual Convention to discuss how we can best support our workforce as we continue to deliver the highways, hospitals and other critical infrastructure our communities depend on.

At 65, Ruben is proving that it’s never too late to learn new skills and pursue new opportunities. After finding himself out of work, he decided to head back to the classroom. With help from PLACA, he enrolled in their Pathways to Prosperity program, a training initiative supported by Ontario’s Skills Development Fund. Today, he’s working as a labourer, with his sights set on becoming a supervisor. And he’s not stopping there, instead he’s already looking to expand his skill set through additional training in HVAC. It was a pleasure meeting Ruben at his graduation and hearing how opportunities like these are helping workers gain new skills, overcome barriers to employment, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a fresh start, we’re making sure people of all ages have the tools and training they need to succeed. After all, you are never too old or too young to help build Ontario.

As President Trump’s tariffs continue to threaten Canadian jobs, Ontario is investing in our greatest asset: our workers. With $41 million to train more apprentices and a $2.5 billion commitment through the Skills Development Fund, we’re preparing the next generation of skilled workers to build the roads, hospitals, schools and other critical infrastructure that our growing communities need.

Some of the most important infrastructure work happens beneath our feet!   DYK: Work is moving ahead on the Victoria Street South reconstruction in Port Hope. Funding through the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP), is helping Port Hope upgrade the road, sidewalks and transportation connections, and replace the aging water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure that local families rely on every day.   It may not always be the infrastructure you notice, but it’s the kind of work that keeps streets safer, more reliable and better equipped to serve the community for decades to come. @porthopeontario

Ontario has the resources, workers and expertise needed to become a global energy superpower. Now, we’re building the infrastructure to make it happen. From new nuclear to battery storage and transmission networks, we’re securing our energy future, creating more good-paying jobs and building a more self-sufficient province. @fordnation @Sflecce
