I recently shared with Premier Ford I will not be seeking re-election in June. Until then, I will continue what has been the honour of a lifetime to support our gov’t as Minister of Health.
To the people of Newmarket-Aurora, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you.

Extremely disappointed to see our hospitals & staff being the target of protests after all of their sacrifice during the pandemic.
Peaceful protest is a right, but patients & our health care heroes do not deserve to be intimidated or obstructed from accessing or delivering care.
