Putting People First
Every day I speak with Ontarians, in Mississauga, the GTA and across the province, and I hear how they are facing the challenges of living in our province. I believe that the government can play a role in addressing the concerns that people have about issues like healthcare, education, and affordability.
Under this government they have made things worse through cutbacks and underfunding of key public services. They have the wrong priorities for our province. They would spend taxpayer money on a luxury spa and parking garage, for instance, instead of using that money to fix our overburdened healthcare system. They are rewarding their friends instead of looking after the needs of Ontarians.
I want to be leader of a Liberal government that puts people first. We have a proud history in this party of creating a fair and inclusive Ontario, where opportunity is rewarded and those in need are given a hand up.
Ontario is at a tipping point. We cannot afford more of what this government has done over the past five years. I've seen it firsthand in my community, and the burden it has placed on the residents of Mississauga. It's time to put an end to this, and I want to lead our Party in forming the next government.
My Vision for Ontario
Our province is filled with opportunities. It is a place where millions have chosen to set down roots, start families, and build businesses and careers.
I want to build an inclusive Ontario that realizes our potential. It is what I have done in Mississauga and what I want to share with the rest of the province.
We have serious issues that we need to tackle, from a healthcare system that is fraying at the edges, to schools being shortchanged, to an affordability crisis that is impacting many in our Province.
It’s time to restore investments in the services Ontarians need while being fiscally responsible.
I want our Province to be the best both in Canada and around the world. I have led trade missions and seen how Ontario can stack up against any other state or country. We need a government that encourages business and entrepreneurship instead of advancing insiders and cronies.
​
We have some serious problems in Ontario, and I can’t stand by as the current government takes us down the wrong path and does irrevocable damage for generations.
