I am deeply saddened at the passing of the Honourable William Davis, a former Premier and one of the greatest leaders in the history of our country. Here is my full statement:

This week marks the end of Helen Angus's tenure as Ontario’s Deputy Minister of Health. We are incredibly thankful for Helen's many years of dedicated service and unwavering commitment to Ontarians during the COVID-19 pandemic. We wish Helen all the best in this next chapter!

In a crisis, a remarkable public servant is calm, rational, whip smart - & gets things done. I’m not sure there exists a better example than Helen Angus. Professionally, our office congratulates her on her retirement from the OPS tonight; personally, I will miss her greatly #onpoli.

Today marks 18 months into my sobriety. I’d be lying if I said it was easy but my inner strength reminds me of where alcohol led me - 2 needless suicide attempts. Miraculously, many scars began to heal after I made the best decision of my life. #SuicidePrevention #mentalhealth 🪶

My favorite prayer says: "For as long as space endures, And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide, To dispel the misery of the world." And, in trying to fulfill that aspiration, I feel my life has been of some benefit.

COVID lockdowns drove more people to gamble online almost everywhere, and Ontario is no exception. Unfortunately, the province was a gray market until just two weeks ago, but when it comes to regulation, it's better late than never. onlinepokerreport.com/63953/how-covi…

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”

Responsible gambling has always been a top priority for me, and this government. Great to continue the conversation about responsible gambling in Ontario with Shelly and Tracy from RGC this morning.
