This week in PEI, I joined my provincial and territorial counterparts for productive discussions on shared priorities.

From putting more money back into Canadians' pockets to creating opportunities for economic growth, we're working together to strengthen our economy, improve affordability, and deliver tangible results for people across the country.

With excavation now underway on four stations, the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is supporting 4,600 good-paying jobs annually during construction.

The ECWE will bring the Eglinton Crosstown LRT 9.2 kilometres farther west, reducing gridlock and connecting 70,000 commuters to jobs across the Greater Toronto Area.

I would like to congratulate Deputy Minister of Finance Jason Fitzsimmons as he transitions to a new role as President and CEO of the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).

Jason has been a valued advisor, and I am grateful for his guidance, professionalism, and contributions throughout his two years of dedicated service. I wish him every success in his future endeavors.

I would also like to welcome Gadi Mayman as Ontario’s Acting Deputy Minister of Finance. Gadi has been an incredible asset to the Ministry of Finance while CEO of the Ontario Financing Authority, and I look forward to working with him in his new position.

Ontario is investing over $90 million to support shipbuilding capacity.

This investment will help meet the growing demand for Ontario-made vessels, help Ontario shipbuilders support Canada’s National Shipbuilding Strategy and boost the economic competitiveness of Ontario’s shipbuilding and its supply chain while creating thousands of good-paying jobs across the marine sector.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of J. David Wake, whose career as a lawyer, judge, and the province’s Integrity Commissioner reflected a lifetime of exemplary public service. My sincere condolences to his family, loved ones, and his many friends and colleagues.

For too long, Canada has relied on foreign markets and infrastructure to move our own energy.

Today, Ontario and Alberta have unveiled the proposed Northern Shield Energy Corridor that will move Alberta oil and gas to Ontario.

Built using Canadian steel and by Canadian workers, this nation-building project will create thousands of jobs, strengthen our economy and help build Canada into an energy superpower.

Royal Canadian Legion branches play an essential role in supporting veterans and commemorating the men and women who fought for our freedom.

Our government is proud to support their important work by providing full liquor sales licence fee rebates to eligible Legion branches.

Since opening on July 1, 2024, the Uxbridge Urban Provincial Park has seen continued expansion with the hard work of our provincial and community partners. It has been wonderful to see this vision come to life, enhancing both our community’s prosperity and Uxbridge’s environmental legacy for future generations.

The Ring of Fire is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create 70,000 good-paying jobs and add $22 billion to our economy.

We’re protecting Ontario by building the roads to the Ring of Fire five years ahead of schedule, in partnership with First Nations.

Our government is doing everything we can to lower costs for families, keep workers on the job and get shovels in the ground faster on new homes.

That is why Toronto is receiving $1.5 billion through the new Development Charge Reduction Program (DCRP).

Although he passed away last year, my father's influence on our family is as strong as ever. I am grateful for the life lessons he taught me and the legacy he left for us to carry forward.

We're building a stronger, more self-reliant economy by investing $2.8 million to build and upgrade two ports on Lake Superior.

By expanding east-west trade corridors in Canada and strengthening domestic supply chains, we are protecting workers, creating good-paying jobs and reducing our reliance on the U.S.

Today, our government signed a deal to increase trade and cooperation between Ontario & Pennsylvania.

As we continue to Build Fortress North America, this agreement serves as a critical tool for unlocking new job-creating opportunities and protecting resources on both sides of the border.
