Our government is protecting our rural communities!
I was happy to announce, alongside @LisaThompsonPC, a $100,000 Seed Grant through the @ONTrillium Foundation for Huron-Perth Children Aid Society!📣🙌
This funding will support the development of accessible, evidence-based training for child welfare professionals, educators, healthcare providers and law enforcement to better identify and address human trafficking in our rural communities.

Ontario’s ports are opening new agricultural markets 🚢
@LisaThompsonPC and I were at the Port of Goderich today to discuss their plans for expansion and how their positioning on Lake Huron can help connect Ontario agribusinesses to new markets - both domestically and globally.
Handling over 5 million tonnes of cargo annually and supporting thousands of good jobs, the port plays an important role in growing Ontario’s economy, diversifying trade options, and strengthening our self-reliance.

Ontario has everything we need here at home to protect our workers and our province. We just need to get out of our own way and get building.
Today at the Empire Club, I spoke about how we’ve put our plan to protect Ontario into action by cutting red tape, speeding up approvals and making Ontario more competitive, more resilient and more self-reliant.

Yesterday, I rose in the Senate Chamber to ask the Government Representative how the government will support rural Canadians whose local financial institution has closed or will be closing across the country. Banking options for rural Canadians are becoming fewer and farther apart! #RuralMatters

(1/2) Fire Prevention Week is here, and this year's theme hits close to home in rural Ontario: Lithium-ion powered devices like ATVs in cold barns, cordless tools in hot workshops and knock-off chargers are real risks.
