“I am honoured to serve as Ontario’s new Minister of Labour. Our government has always brought a balanced approach to labour relations – and this is something I intend to continue.

I will put Ontario workers and their families first.  I had an opportunity today to speak with Tony Dean about his report. I reconfirmed the government’s commitment to address his recommendations, including a new Chief Prevention Officer. This will help ensure effective health and safety services and enforcement at workplaces throughout Ontario.”
