Last Friday marked the anniversary of our government being given a second mandate by the people of Ontario. In 2018, we promised we would work for the people. In 2022, we promised that we would get it done. Speaker, I can proudly say that we are delivering on both promises. We are getting it done for the people of Ontario. I am so proud of what we have accomplished.

In my own community of Oakville North–Burlington, investments include:

—five new schools in four years, with an investment of $142 million for 4,403 student spaces and 352 child care spaces;

—a total of 1,153 new and redeveloped long-term-care beds for seniors, with four hours of direct care each day;

—$138 million more in base funding for Halton Healthcare and $69 million for Joseph Brant Hospital; and

—$295 million of a total of $1.8 billion investments so that Ford Canada can become an electric vehicle hub in North America, creating 3,000 new, good-paying jobs.

The government, under the leadership of Premier Doug Ford, has made significant and positive changes in the lives of people across the province. We have made life more affordable for families, seniors and small businesses. I look forward to continuing to serve my community of Oakville North–Burlington and thank you for the trust you have given me.
