Serving as MPP for the Riding of Huron-Bruce, as well as Ontario Minister of Rural Affairs is truly the honour of a lifetime.
I take this responsibility very seriously and I thank Premier Ford and the people of Huron-Bruce for placing their trust in me once again.
Great to meet with the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) at Queen’s Park to discuss their priorities and the future of healthcare in Ontario. Our conversation focused on supporting physicians and improving access to care for patients in Huron-Bruce and rural communities across the province.

A new chapter in Ontario's nuclear success story has begun.
Our Unit 5 Major Component Replacement outage is officially underway, marking another step in renewing our fleet and extending the life of our reactors for the next generation.

To compete globally in the face of U.S. tariffs, Ontario is cutting red tape to build and expand mines faster.
That's why we cut mine permitting review timelines by 50% through the 'One Project, One Process'. This is just the beginning as we continue taking action to solidify Ontario's position as a global mining powerhouse.
Did you know October was officially #ManufacturingMonth - but it is important to appreciate our local #Huron #Bruce manufacturers 365 days a year given the role they have in our local economies and the jobs they provide as well.
This fall @Rae_Matt and I welcomed @TrevorJonesCKL to #Marcrest near #Molesworth in #HuronEast.
Premier @fordnation joined me in #Walkerton to tour #PriceSchonstrun and #LarsenShaw.
And in #Vanestra we celebrated the grand opening of #AtlasEngineeredProducts . Can’t wait for @KevinHollandMPP to join me soon at AEP for a special provincial announcement!
Officially recognized the amazing outcome of an @ONTrillium investment at the #Auburn Community Patk with local #Lions Members as well as Marg Anderson & Jim Ginn representing @CentralHuron.
This community park is a thoughtful hub that now includes an outdoor basketball/pickleball court, an excellent ball park, a dog park and the community hall!
Had a great day in #Huron #Bruce! Meetings with constituents, helping to resolve/cut red tape issues while also celebrating important investments and recognizing 4-H successes!
It was my honour to catch up with Peyton (near #Lucknow) to present her with her silver buckle for showing the Champion #MarketLamb at the #Bruce Grey #MapleHill Youth Lamb Show! @4HOntario

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.
Thank you to the dedicated team at HPCAS for your commitment to protecting vulnerable children and youth in our communities!🤝

Great to connect with members of the Ontario Craft Brewers during their advocacy day at Queen’s Park, including Cowbell Brewing from Huron County. We had a productive conversation about the craft beer sector and its contributions to economic growth, tourism, and vibrant communities across Ontario.
Today our government released #OnFES2026, a Plan to Protect Ontario, outlining our plan to protect workers, families, and businesses while fortifying key industries impacted by tariffs and attracting new jobs in high-growth sectors.

I was pleased to see so many people from rural #Ontario attend a luncheon recently where Premier @fordnation shared our government’s Plan to Protect Ontario in Action.

I recently presented Premier @fordnation and Minister @samoosterhoff with framed posters from the 2026 IPM & Rural Expo as a memento of the very successful #BruceCounty Match near #Walkerton this year!
