Ontario is ahead of schedule and firmly on track to connect everyone to primary care by 2029.
Today, I visited Vibrant Community Health in Toronto to celebrate the progress we’ve made since launching our Primary Care Action Plan less than two years ago.

Katie is a firefighter, a mom and a brain tumour survivor.
Her story shows why we’re doubling down on our $3.4 billion Primary Care Action Plan, which has already connected more than half a million more people to a family doctor or primary care provider since last January.

Families in City of Toronto will be able to save up to $213,000 on the purchase of a new home through the Development Charge Reduction Program and HST Rebate.
Working with our federal and municipal counterparts, our government will continue creating the conditions for more people to achieve their dreams of homeownership.

This evening, I joined B’nai Brith Canada for their Award of Merit Gala to recognize their longstanding contributions to Ontario’s Jewish community.
For more than 150 years, B’nai Brith has championed human rights, fought antisemitism and provided support to vulnerable Canadians. We’ll keep working together to build safer, stronger communities across Ontario.
We're taking action to get Highway 69 built faster!
Our proposed Building Highway 69 Faster Act would accelerate widening between Parry Sound and Sudbury by up to five years, improving road safety and strengthening northern Ontario's economy.

We’re keeping our promise to protect workers from tariffs and secure the jobs of the future here in Ontario.
Through a landmark $8.7B agreement with the federal government, we’re building roads to the Ring of Fire, strengthening Ontario’s critical minerals supply chain and protecting Ontario’s steel and auto workers from U.S. tariffs .

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Since our government lowered the age of self-referral for mammograms from age 50 to 40 two years ago, more than 330,000 people in their 40s have been screened - leading to better outcomes.
Because early detection saves lives.
Our government will always stand up for Ontario’s small businesses.
By cutting the small business tax by $1.1 billion, we’re delivering up to $5,000 in savings to local businesses that power Eglinton-Lawrence’s economy.
This week and every week, remember to #ShopLocal!
