HOW WOULD YOU GRADE THE PROVINCE'S COVID-19 RESPONSE AND WHY? We spared no expense to respond to COVID-19 with support to

those most in need. Every decision made was under the advice of the chief medical officer of health to keep Ontario families safe. Our government invested $20 billion responding to the pandemic, including $1.5 billion to support longterm care, $703 million to add 3,100 hospital beds, $1.6 billion to support the safe reopening of schools, and $3 billion to more than 110,000 small businesses.

IF RE-ELECTED, I PLEDGE TO... It has been an honour to represent you for the past 11 years. Nipissing wasn't keeping up with other areas. There were reports and committees — lots of talk — but it ended there. We needed real action — and that is what I delivered — that is what I pledge to keep doing.
