Thrilled for the hard working people of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex who elected Steve Pinsonneault yesterday evening. Great to add another amazing leader to who will help #GetItDone for the people of #Ontario. Looking forward to seeing you around #QueensPark.

Congratulations to Zeeshan (Zee) Hamid on being chosen by the people of #Milton, they could not have asked for a more passionate and driven representative. It was a pleasure getting to know you on the campaign trail & I look forward to working with you to #GetItDone for #Ontario.

Congratulations to Lynne and John Kapel on their 60th Anniversary! It is amazing to see a couple in the #Timmins community celebrating their love and the strong relationship they have built over the years together. I gave them a certificate to mark this special occasion. #OnPoli

MAY 1 First Responders Day. Today, we honour mine rescue responders -- the brave souls who run toward danger when everyone else is running away. From firefighting, rope rescue, and medical skills, your bravery knows no bounds. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to keeping mining workplaces safe. https://bit.ly/44mNksU #MineRescue #Mining #HealthAndSafety #WorkplaceSafety #OntarioMineRescue #FirstRespondersDay Ontario Mine Rescue

Our government is making it easier for more people to go into the skilled trades.    This includes adding a new accelerated stream to the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, launching a new online job-matching portal and making it easier for second-career workers to register for skilled trades training. https://lnkd.in/egJJy3_J

I had a terrific meeting with Congressman Pete Stauber during my visit to Washington. We spoke about Canadian and American #Mining history and the importance of building a #CriticalMinerals supply chain to fuel the world’s electric vehicles and the technologies of tomorrow. #Ontario

While in Washington, I had the pleasure of meeting with David W. Paterson and Kristen Hillman, the Ambassador of Canada to the United States. We talked about how important #Mining is to U.S national security and how we can attract U.S investments in #Ontario’s #CriticalMinerals projects.

Had a fantastic conversation with Abby Seadler Wulf, Head of the American Battery Materials Initiative for the U.S Department of Energy. We spoke about the economy of the future, the #CriticalMinerals we need to fuel the EV revolution and opportunities to collaborate with our U.S partners. #Ontario #Mining David W. Paterson

Under the leadership of Doug Ford, our government is investing $45 million over 3 years to expand the Northern Health Travel Grant Program, making it easier for #NorthernOntario families to connect to the specialized care and services they need. https://lnkd.in/g6AqQifb #Timmins #Ontario

Thanks to Alex Jacquez for a great meeting. He’s the Special Assistant to the President for Economic Development and Industrial Strategy for the White House National Economic Council. We spoke about Ontario’s #Mining projects and opportunities for the US and #Ontario to work together.
