Thank you to the member from Newmarket–Aurora for that important question. I was honoured to attend her seniors’ expo in Newmarket last week. She brought together 17 seniors’ and community groups, close to 100 seniors and senior leaders, who showed how active and involved they are in serving seniors in that part of York region.

As a super senior, I’m calling on everyone to do what the MPP from Newmarket–Aurora did and bring their seniors together. Let’s celebrate Seniors Month like never before.

Thanks to the leadership of this Premier, these investments help seniors stay fit, active, healthy, close to home, connected to their communities and fight social isolation.

Thank you, member from Newmarket–Aurora, for the question and for the last question to close out the session.

I’ve gone across the province and have had a wonderful opportunity of meeting hundreds of women who are getting into the workforce and taking advantage of the programs and investments this government has made to support their flexibility and their training and skill development. This includes promoting a wide range of fields and careers for women and girls, helping entrepreneurs find supports and resources to create more women-led businesses. That’s why we’ve also expanded the Investing in Women’s Futures Program and the Women’s Economic Security Program.

Together, we’ve assisted more than 3,000 women to start their businesses, pursue further training and/or their education. We are getting it done for women in Ontario, because when women succeed, Ontario succeeds.
