Every year, more than 247,000 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer.

In 2024, I was proud to announce, with @Bruce_Power, an investment to process cancer-fighting medical isotopes in Ontario, helping save thousands of lives battling prostate and neuroendocrine tumours.

Positive to see construction completed at the first and only commercial nuclear facility in the world producing Lutetium-177.

Ontario's strategy is taking hold as we repatriated more of the final processing of medical isotopes from foreign suppliers to Ontario, strengthening Canada’s end-to-end nuclear advantage.

Earlier this week, our government announced its support for Jackson Seed Service’s nearly $8 million investment in Lambton–Kent–Middlesex.

Through the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund stream of our Regional Development Program, this project will expand the province’s soybean processing capacity, create new jobs, and bring more Ontario-grown products to markets around the world.

Our government is proud to support Jackson Seed Service with a $500,000 investment through the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund (SWODF) to help create 6 new jobs right here in #LambtonKentMiddlesex.

Investments like this strengthen our local manufacturing and agriculture sectors, create a stronger local economy, and create new opportunities for workers.

Congratulations to Jackson Seed Service on expanding the company’s seed processing operations and boosting production capacity – it’s so wonderful seeing a second-generation family business thriving in our community.

Home to more than 300 defence companies and 13,000 talented workers, Ontario has the industrial strength needed to play a leading role in allied defence supply chains.

Delivering on the mandate set out in our province’s defence framework, yesterday’s $90+ million investment will ensure Ontario’s shipbuilding sector moves quickly to meet a growing global demand.

Ontario’s shipbuilding industry is ready and willing to do its part as the federal government steps up its commitment to national defence and security.

Today, I was in St. Catharines to deliver a $90 million investment that will position Ontario shipbuilders to build the next generation of ships for our navy and coast guard, creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs for workers across the province.
