It’s great to be back in the House this week. Over the last several weeks, under Premier Ford’s leadership, we were able to deliver key investments to Brampton and Ontario.

A few short weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining Premier Ford and my caucus colleagues to announce the location of Brampton’s new medical school in partnership with TMU. This new medical school will host 80 undergraduate and 95 postgraduate students.

In over 100 years this medical school is the first to be announced in the GTA, and will be located right across from Bramalea City Centre in Brampton, with doors scheduled to open in 2025.

Speaker, to further support job growth, our government has partnered with Magna International to announce a $470-million investment and expand its operations in Ontario. This investment is expected to bring over 1,000 new high-skilled jobs to the province, out of which 560 new jobs will come to Brampton as the company expands to its eighth location. This new facility will support the development of EV vehicles such as the Ford F-150 Lightning truck and the future OEM programs.

Our government is working hard to deliver for the people of Ontario, and I’m proud that under Premier Ford’s leadership, Brampton is no longer being left behind.
