Ontario’s 2026 Fall Economic Statement shows our plan to protect Ontario in action. We’re fortifying Ontario’s industrial base, including our steel and auto sectors, while investing in workers and cutting red tape to build a more competitive economy and attract the good-paying jobs of the future.

My condolences go out to the family, loved ones and coworkers of the Toronto traffic agent who was killed while on the job at Thorncliffe Park earlier today. It’s a sober reminder of the sacrifices and risks traffic agents face every day while keeping our communities safe.

For 22 years, Grand Cru has helped raise funds for life-saving care and groundbreaking research at UHN. Thank you to the Ajmera family for their generous $35 million donation to establish the new Ajmera Transplant Institute. Together, we’re building a stronger health-care system and delivering world-class care for families across Ontario.

Raising interest rates right now is a massive mistake. Higher rates won’t get oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz or lower tariffs on Canadian businesses. They will only make life more expensive for Canadian families and workers, punishing them for something they can’t control.

Today’s legislation is delivering on our promise to build a more competitive, tariff-proof economy. We’re cutting red tape and speeding up permitting timelines for Ontario businesses by 220,000 days, saving them time and money that they can put back into creating jobs and growing the economy.
Building Ontario Faster Act (2026) is about less red tape, faster approvals, and a stronger Ontario. We are cutting red tape and permit processing delays to speed up approvals, fortify our supply chains and create the most competitive economy in the G7. youtube.com/live/RJ77X6zk4Wo…

As polls begin to close, I want to thank the candidates across all 444 of Ontario’s municipalities for their willingness to step up and serve the public. Our government is ready to work with everyone who is elected tonight on the issues that matter most to Ontario families: making life more affordable, keeping communities safe, delivering high-quality public services and protecting workers from tariffs and economic uncertainty.

Ontario’s $3.4 billion Primary Care Action Plan is ahead of schedule, with more than half a million more Ontario patients connected to a family doctor or primary care since last January. We’re not slowing down as we work to connect everyone in the province to convenient care by 2029. If you’re looking to be connected to primary care, sign up at Ontario.ca/HealthCareConnect

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.

Check out the progress being made along the all-new Ontario Line, where new subway tunnels are being dug under downtown Toronto for the first time in six decades. Once complete, this 15.6 kilometre subway line will put more than 230,000 people within walking distance of transit and connect commuters from across the Greater Toronto Area.

Congratulation to @LDoerkson, British Columbia’s next premier, and the BC Conservative Party on their historic election victory. I’m looking forward to working together as we unlock our natural resources, continue to break down internal trade barriers and build a more competitive and united Canada from coast to coast to coast. I also want to thank David Eby for his years of dedicated public service and wish him and his family all the best. Premier Eby has been an important part of Team Canada as we stood up to tariffs and worked together to protect Canadian sovereignty.

Today, I visited the Gladstone Cadbury factory to mark 120 years of operations. With products reaching consumers across Ontario, Canada and beyond, the factory is part of a global supply chain. We’ll keep working to strengthen Ontario’s manufacturing sector, protect good-paying jobs and build a more competitive economy.

Today, I had the chance to deliver the keynote address to volunteers and community leaders at the Rotary Club of Toronto. For more than a century, their commitment to service has helped strengthen our communities and support those who need it most.

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.
