The Ontario Legislature has risen for the winter break after a short, but action packed, session that saw a government focused on ramming through major legislation with little to no consultation or debate. Despite this, I am proud of the Official Opposition’s work this session to hold the government to account on the issues that matter most to you. Whether it be Doug Ford’s attack on renters, education, cost-of-living or healthcare, we were fighting back hard every single day. This work will continue in the new year, both in Ottawa Centre and across Ontario.

Queen’s Park is back in session, and it’s been a busy return for Ontario’s new batch of MPPs.
