By giving retailers the option to open on Family Day and Victoria Day, we are supporting employees and businesses while giving families more choice and convenience to shop at their local retail stores.

These changes will give many employees the flexibility to agree to pick up extra shifts at increased pay, while maintaining their right to take the day off.

As part of the plan to protect Ontario consumers and families, our government is proposing amendments to the Ticket Sales Act, 2017 to combat overpriced ticket resale practices. 

If passed, the changes would make it illegal for tickets to concerts, cultural, sports, and other live events in Ontario to be resold for more than their original all‑in purchase price—helping protect fans from exploitative, professional resellers and ensuring more Ontarians have the opportunity to attend live events across the province.

Last night marked the beginning of Ramadan, a sacred time of prayer, reflection, and community for Muslim families here in Ontario and around the world.

I extend my warmest wishes to all who are observing this holy month, and recognize the important values of compassion, generosity, and service that Ramadan represents.

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating.

I had the pleasure to join Oakville’s business leaders at the @OakvilleChamber’s 2026 @RBC
Economic Outlook. It was a timely discussion on inflation, interest rates, and global uncertainty — and what it all means for local businesses in the year ahead.

Thank you to the panel for the valuable insights and to the Chamber for hosting such an important conversation.

Today I issued a formal letter to the Real Estate Council of Ontario.

I am currently reviewing Denton’s report on RECO’s handling of the iPro matters. Once my review is complete, as stated in my previous letter, RECO will release the findings publicly.

Throughout this process, our government will work to restore public confidence by strengthening consumer protection and enhancing transparency in Ontario’s real estate sector.

As part of our plan to protect Ontario, we’re investing $1 billion to build the G7’s first small modular reactors at Darlington!

This nation-building project will create thousands of good-paying jobs and deliver clean, reliable energy to power Ontario’s future.

Ontario’s economy is built by hard-working people and homegrown businesses — not empty words.

While others say NO, our government continues to take real action to support local jobs, manufacturing, and communities across the province.

Together, we’re protecting Ontario’s future by investing in local solutions that keep our province strong and thriving.

It was a great and busy summer both as Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, and as the proud MPP for Oakville.
