Thank you, Nepean. My heart is so full. I do not take this responsibility lightly. I will work tirelessly for you and make sure your voices are heard at Queen’s Park. Regardless of who you voted for, my door will always be open.
Today, I asked Doug Ford to fix OSAP, honour funding commitments to students who have been cut off, and fire his Minister of Colleges and Universities over the billion-dollar OSAP fraud scandal.
The Premier didn't answer.
His Minister did, but avoided taking accountability for the government's failure to stop suspected fraud despite years of warnings. As usual.
Students deserve answers, not excuses. #onpoli @OntLiberal

Ford blamed students for OSAP being "unsustainable." The truth: his government got scammed out of hundreds of millions, and now students are paying for it with new debt.
Students didn't break OSAP. Doug Ford did.

"Liberal colleges and universities critic Tyler Watt said those actions make Quinn’s delayed action on potential bad actors all the more baffling."
'Their recent actions, where they’ve completely pulled the rug out from every single student in the private sector, goes to show you that they are willing to take drastic action,' he said.
'It’s not OK at all what they’ve done to students and the people that are following the rules, but there’s no reasonable explanation why they let this go on and wasted this much of taxpayers’ money for as long as they did.'" #onpoli

After 5 months, MPPs are finally returning to Queen’s Park today. I am eager to hold this out of touch government accountable in person. #onpoli

Approved. Enrolled. Abandoned.
The @fordnation government’s negligent management of $1B of OSAP is unbelievable.
Warned multiple times for more than three years of suspicious activity, they did nothing.
Now they are in a rush and are cutting off good people at the knees.

This fake sympathy from Sylvia Jones is disgusting. Her decision and policy change will literally kill people. Shame on her.
Attention Nepean and Ottawa! Only took me 5 minutes to vote in our municipal election today. Polls are open until 8pm.
Here’s where you can find out where to vote: elections.ottawa.ca/VotingLo…

Gambling-related suicides in Ontario have tripled since Doug Ford’s PCs privatized online casino games and sports betting in 2022.
I asked the Minister of Health what she’s doing to address this crisis. @SylviaJonesMPP failed to offer solutions that actually tackle the root causes of gambling addiction.
The government must act now. Stop advertising online gambling. Prevent gambling harm before it happens.

Supporting our education workers is supporting our students.
Proud to stand with my Ottawa caucus colleagues, education workers, and public school advocates at today’s education rally in Ottawa.
Our message to Doug Ford is simple: Bargain in good faith. Smaller class sizes. Safer schools. More staff and student supports. Fair wages. Proper funding for public education.
Listen to education workers and students. #onpoli #onted #ontedunited #ontedsolidaire
Doug Ford is robbing Ontario students of the education they deserve.
Overcrowded classrooms. Rising violence. Burnt-out teachers and education workers. Schools literally crumbling.
Our students, parents, and education workers deserve better.
Tomorrow, people across Ontario are rallying to fight for the future of public education. It’s time to stand up for our schools, educators, and students. #onpoli #onted

The Ford PCs broke OSAP after years of looking the other way while bad actors abused the system.
Now, the consequences of their inaction extend far beyond Ontario’s campuses.

ICYMI: our MPPs have been pressing ministers on the decisions that affect people every day — from vulnerable youth and emergency preparedness to student affordability and northern highway safety.
These are the questions Ontarians deserve answers to.

Before entering politics, I spent 27 years working in healthcare. I know firsthand the dedication healthcare workers bring to their jobs, the difference they make in people’s lives, and how much Ontario depends on a strong, well- supported healthcare system.
That’s why the endorsements of these healthcare professionals and former Ontario Ministers of Health mean so much to me. Their support is both deeply personal and a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we put healthcare first.
Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing my healthcare platform - a plan to build a stronger healthcare system for everyone in Ontario. I look forward to sharing it with you.

I spent 27 years in health care. I’ve seen what works, and I’ve seen what’s broken.
In the coming days I’ll release Health Care for All, my plan to rebuild publicly funded health care in Ontario. It’s shaped by the nurses, doctors and health workers I’ve worked alongside, and by people across the province who are waiting too long for care.
It will show how we get every Ontarian a primary care team, help seniors age at home, deliver public coverage for mental health care, starting with young people, and help people stay healthy before they get sick.
Health care Ontarians can count on, today and for the next generation.
Join me. Let’s rebuild health care for all.

$117 million would pay for hundreds of more nurses and educators. Instead, Doug Ford spent $117 million on advertising to promote his own government.
Your money should be working for you - not ads to promote Doug Ford’s image. It’s time for a serious government in Ontario. #onpoli
Tracks with the level of respect the Ford government has towards education. #onpoli
NEW: Former tourism minister Stan Cho, who resigned from Premier Ford's cabinet after facing criticism for spending thousands on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city, has been named parliamentary assistant to Education Minister Paul Calandra. #onpoli
