A provincial election is quickly approaching, and voters in the Windsor-Tecumseh riding are being asked to make an important decision.
The election is Thursday, February 27.
WindsorNewsToday.ca reached out to all seven of the candidates running for the Member of Provincial Parliament seat in Windsor-Tecumseh. Some candidates were reached directly. Contact was also attempted by sending a questionnaire to the candidate's campaign manager or the provincial party's media officer.
Each candidate was asked the same six questions on the issues concerning Ontarians in general, and Windsor-Tecumseh residents in particular. The responses are presented in alphabetical order, with minor editing for flow or clarity.
ANDREW DOWIE, Progressive Conservative Party (incumbent)
Q: Municipalities have been calling on the province to upload services for the homeless--while asking for other infrastructure, like the E.C. Row Expressway, be uploaded too. Do you think uploading is the answer?
A: From protecting our economy to working with municipalities to build more infrastructure and new homes, only the Ontario PCs have a plan to stand up for Windsor-Tecumseh.
We share municipal leaders' concerns about the need to keep our children, families, and communities safe. That is why we are using every tool we have to clear encampments and restore safety to public spaces while enhancing mental health support and keeping the most vulnerable members of our society safe and housed.
Through the Homelessness Prevention Program, we are working with municipalities to keep the most vulnerable members of our society safe and housed. In Windsor, we increased our funding by 34 per cent to over $4-million to support addressing homelessness. We are also building new Homelessness Addictions Recovery Treatment (HART) Hubs, including in Windsor to deliver responsive, comprehensive mental health services, addiction care, social services, and supportive housing.
While previous governments ignored the infrastructure needs of Windsor-Essex, I was proud to announce our PC team is investing $50-million to build a new interchange at Banwell Road and E.C. Row Expressway. The Banwell interchange will tackle gridlock and improve access to Canada’s first electric vehicle battery plant while also supporting supply chain businesses across Windsor and the new Windsor-Essex hospital.
Q: How would your party address the shortage of healthcare workers, including family doctors?
A: When the Liberals were in power, they closed hospitals, fired nurses, and cut medical school spots.
Under our Ontario PC government, we have increased investments in our publicly funded healthcare system by 31 per cent since 2018 and we are leading the country with the shortest wait times, the highest number of people connected to a primary care provider, and the largest healthcare workforce.
Through our Primary Care Action Team led by Dr. Jane Philpott, the Ontario PCs are connecting every person in Ontario to a primary care provider by 2029 by investing $1.8-billion to expand primary care teams.
This work builds on the action we have taken to add 100,000 new nurses, and 15,000 new doctors since 2018, including an over 10 per cent increase in family doctors, and expand access to primary care through the largest medical school education system expansion in 15 years and historic investments to stand up more primary care teams, including in Windsor-Tecumseh, and break down barriers for internationally-trained doctors.
Q: Does Ontario need an auto strategy? For decades, there have been calls to bring back the Canadian National Auto Strategy. How can Ontario help boost the local automotive industry?
A: While the previous Liberal government’s high-tax policies, supported by the NDP, chased away 300,000 manufacturing jobs and had our auto sector on the brink of collapse, our PC team has turned Ontario into a global manufacturing powerhouse, securing $45-billion in new auto and EV investments over the last four year.
We have stepped up for Windsor-Essex by investing $5-billion in production tax credits and $500-million in capital funds to support the NextStar EV Battery Plant while growing and supporting the supply chain and investing $287-million to support the retooling of the Stellantis Windsor Assembly Plant.
Only the Ontario PCs have a plan to continue to build on record investments to stand up for the auto sector workers, businesses, and families across Windsor-Tecumseh for years to come.
Q: How would your party facilitate building affordable new homes?
A: Windsor-Tecumseh, like the rest of Ontario, is growing at an unprecedented rate.
That's why our PC team has redoubled our efforts in partnership with municipalities to build even more homes faster by cutting red tape, streamlining approvals, and giving them the tools they need to get shovels in the ground. We have introduced the new Provincial Planning Statement to provide municipalities with greater flexibility, removed HST on purpose, provided municipalities with over $3-billion in funding through the Building Faster Fund and the Housing Enabling Water Systems Fund, and grew the Canada Ontario Housing Benefit.
Under our Ontario PC government, we saw the highest level of housing starts in Ontario in more than 30 years, and last year, we broke ground on the highest number of new purpose-built rentals ever on record.
As your MPP for Windsor-Tecumseh, I will continue to work with municipalities to ensure they have the tools they need to build more affordable housing to meet the needs of our communities for years to come.
Q: While the Ford government has invested in education, it hasn't kept up with inflation. How would your party address the education funding shortfall?
A: Since 2018 our PC team has invested over $3.6-billion in capital projects, building 248 new and expanded schools, creating nearly 100,000 student spaces and more than 8,000 childcare spaces.
We’ve increased school funding by nearly 30 per cent since we took office in 2018, reaching $29.1-billion in total education funding for 2024-25. That’s an increase of $884-million compared to last year.
Since we took office, we've hired 9,000 more educators. Since 2019, we've created approximately 46,000 new childcare spaces for children aged birth to five.
Our government, for the first time in nearly a generation, was able to reach central deals with all of Ontario’s teacher unions without province-wide strikes.
Under Doug Ford, the Ontario PCs will continue to invest in the next generation – ensuring students graduate with a competitive advantage so they can emerge as Canada’s leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
Q: Do you think Ontario needs to find new markets, aside from the U.S., for the agri-food industry?
A: Only the Ontario PCs have a plan to protect our economy, workers, and businesses in the agri-food sector. We stand behind our agricultural sector and will continue to work with them to support growing export markets for Ontario-made products.
Our PC team has increased agri-food exports by 65 per cent since 2018, to $26.2-billion, making up more GDP exports than auto, tech, and steel and Ontario is 1st in Canada in agri-food output and exports. Fifty-four per cent of the food we eat is produced here in Ontario.
A re-elected Ontario PC government will continue to invest millions in this critical sector to protect Ontarians and strengthen the supply chain.
KYLE FORD, Communist Party of Canada-Ontario
Q: Municipalities have been calling on the province to upload services for the homeless -- while asking other infrastructure, like the E.C. Row Expressway, be uploaded too. Do you think uploading is the answer?
A: Yes, “uploading”, but with an emphasis on collaboration and cooperation on issues and expanded funding for municipalities.
Too much cost and responsibility have been shifted, however, onto municipalities over time, with the province doing less and less. We will implement our New Financial Deal for Cities, which provides full and adequate provincial funding for municipal services, and bring privatized municipal services, such as waste collection, back under full public ownership and democratic control, to strip out private profit and provide quality service.
With relation to homelessness specifically, we are opposed to the recent Notwithstanding Clause by Doug Ford to forcibly remove homeless encampments, especially in the middle of winter. Provinces and municipalities should be united and part of a team that actively coordinates, collaborates, and participates in solving this crisis. Ontario needs to provide adequate funding to shelters; enact rent control to ensure no one pays more than 20 per cent of their income; upgrade and maintain existing units so that they are safe, secure, affordable, accessible, and environmentally sound; recognize housing as a human right and introduce a Tenant Bill of Rights and provincial housing program to ensure adequate housing based on need is provided to all and create publicly owned rehabilitation centres; decriminalize drug use and treat it as a health issue by funding community centres specifically for drug users; making rehabilitation centres a public utility with services provided free of charge, and increasing peer-driven and community-focused education programs; maintain and expand safer consumption sites; and ensure a safe and free supply of drugs to users through prescription programs along with humane treatment plans to prevent further overdose deaths.
In terms of infrastructure, such as the E.C. Row, there should be some form of cooperation at the minimum. I believe most, if not all, costs of infrastructure such as the E.C. Row should be uploaded, at least in some capacity, to the province, and the province to be held accountable and responsible for maintaining this important transportation infrastructure. The province and the city should sit down together and examine the cost burden to the community and elevate this burden as much as possible, if not altogether.
Q: How would your party address the shortage of healthcare workers, including family doctors?
A: We would restore health and hospital funding that has been cut, and halt and reverse the delisting of services to community hospitals. Reverse the privatization of alcohol sales, expand and strengthen the publicly owned LCBO by absorbing The Beer Store, and utilize the increased public revenue to finance comprehensive public health care services, including alcohol addiction treatment. We would put all ambulance services back under public ownership, scrap ambulance fees, and provide full coverage under OHIP. We would also preserve and expand Ontario Health at Home (formerly CCACs).
We would stop and reverse hospital closures, and expand healthcare to include full coverage for dental care, vision care, pharmacare, mental health care, and long-term care. All long-term care facilities would be placed under public ownership and operation, with funding for adequate and well-paid staff and sufficient protective equipment and procedures. Private clinics and labs would immediately be banned, and we would halt and reverse all P3 developments and contracts.
These services would be provided through publicly owned and administered institutions. The Home and Community Care Support Services (renamed LHINs) and Ontario Health (the provincial health super agency), the main administrative vehicles for the privatization of healthcare in Ontario, would be abolished, increasing the number of healthcare workers in community settings. We would maintain and expand safer consumption sites, ensuring a safe and free supply of drugs to users through prescription programs along with humane treatment plans to prevent further overdose deaths, which would necessitate further healthcare workers. I would like to see the return of the school nurses and nurses on worksites, providing upstream and immediate care, which is proven more cost-effective and preventative.
We advocate the elimination of tuition fees for post-secondary education, the provision of a living stipend to all post-secondary students, and the reallocation of cut funding back into post-secondary education to improve programs such as nursing and medical school, which would immensely improve enrollments for health professions, including doctors. A living stipend would help many become doctors and healthcare workers and those seeking those professions but find it difficult due to economic and financial reasons.
Q: Does Ontario need an auto strategy? For decades, there have been calls to bring back the Canadian National Auto Strategy. How can Ontario help boost the local automotive industry?
A: Yes, Ontario needs an auto strategy, and we support a return of the Canadian National Auto Strategy. We must build a publicly owned, democratically controlled, and operated light vehicle industry in Ontario, putting the largest auto corporations under public ownership to produce electric cars, light industrial vehicles, and mass public transit vehicles. We in Windsor-Essex know best when it comes to building these vehicles. As the saying goes, if you want it built right, build it in Windsor.
By retooling and making public buses and their parts, trains, and metros, we can maintain and grow many great paying, good union jobs in publicly-owned manufacturing plants. This would keep the capital going back into public needs and not corporate profits or from leaving Canada by way of free trade deals.
Q: How would your party facilitate building affordable new homes?
A: To address the housing crisis and to tackle housing affordability, Ontario must create a provincial housing program to ensure adequate housing based on need is provided to all. Our party would see Ontario invest in social housing, including co-op housing, with more emphasis on public and rent-geared-to-income housing.
One objective of this provincial housing program is to build 200,000 units of rent-geared-to-income social housing units immediately, 550,000 units of affordable housing, 15,000 units of transitional housing, and also maintain levels of affordable housing based on need.
Another objective would be developing expropriation policies, particularly those aimed at large private landlords who own significant numbers of units, as one tool among others to confront the housing crisis and build up Ontario’s public housing stock. Private buildings owned by landlords that fail to maintain their properties according to laws and by-laws, and buildings that are left vacant for more than six months should be targeted for expropriation and conversion to publicly owned, democratically operated rent-geared-to-income housing.
Lastly, existing units should be maintained and upgraded to be safe, secure, affordable, accessible, and environmentally sound.
We would ensure proper building inspections for rental housing and enforce penalties for landlords who do not meet standards, make bed bugs a public health issue, introduce maximum temperatures into the Property Standards Act, and require that landlords provide adequate cooling systems. We would enact rent control legislation to cover all rental units, including vacant units, and legislate rent rollbacks across Ontario to ensure no one has to pay more than 20 per cent of income on housing. We would ban evictions or utility cut-offs due to involuntary unemployment, including layoffs, health issues, strikes, or lockouts. We would also legislate collective bargaining rights for tenants. The Landlord and Tenant Board would be eliminated and replaced with a tenant-led agency responsible for the administration of housing rights. Rehousing mechanisms would be developed and implemented to ensure the immediate provision of rehousing in the event of displacement (including eviction and removal as a result of domestic violence or unsafe conditions). We would introduce equitable standards and provide funding for Indigenous people living on and off reserves, ensuring that all initiatives are Indigenous-led.
Q: While the Ford government has invested in education, it hasn't kept up with inflation. How would your party address the education funding shortfall?
A: We would immediately fund the $16.8 billion backlog in maintenance for Ontario schools and provide stable funding to pay for ongoing maintenance and upgrades so that schools and educational facilities are safe, accessible, reliable, and environmentally sound.
We would halt all sales of public school lands and buildings, and develop schools as community hubs. We would end public funding for Catholic schools and enact a single, secular public school system in Ontario, merging the schools into the public school system, keeping all schools open, and delivering a new, needs-based funding formula to provide adequate and guaranteed funding from provincial general revenue to public schools and education programs.
For post-secondary, we want to see an increase in funding to public post-secondary education and an end to privatization. We would end all credit-recognition schemes for corporate training programs and expand Indigenous and French-language education, including at the PSE level. We would end student debt and provide a living stipend to all post-secondary students.
Q: Do you think Ontario needs to find new markets, aside from the U.S., for the agri-food industry?
A: Yes, Ontario needs to find new markets, aside from the U.S., as well as better develop and utilize our domestic markets and the markets of our fellow provinces. With relations to agriculture, I wholeheartedly believe we should expand the markets our farming industry operates in. I also believe we should support the idea that our agri-food industry should be grown primarily to feed Canada, including providing school lunches and breakfast programs and then secondary to supply outside markets. Our food prices have skyrocketed in the last few years, and one part of that multifaceted issue is the import of foods produced elsewhere and shipped in, which benefits corporations above working people, exploiting other working people elsewhere with worse conditions and horrendous pay.
We would protect, restore and expand provincial and federal supply management systems, stop bank foreclosures of family farms, and ensure stability by guaranteeing long-term, low-cost loans, curb the power of agro-industrial monopolies; protect marketing boards, and roll back prices and set price controls to reduce the cost of farm inputs through collectivization efforts of the largest corporate farms; abolish factory farming and corporate controlled genetically modified food; support organic farming; reduce the use of antibiotics, fertilizers, pesticides, and other potentially harmful farm inputs and ban “terminator” seeds in Ontario; preserve publicly-controlled and available seed varieties, and stop corporate control over genetic and biological material necessary for agriculture; protect farmland from urban sprawl, industrial development and landfills; and develop a public low-cost distribution system to provide province-wide price uniformity for food, particularly for Northern and remote communities.
Additionally, it's a very risky idea to invest everything in a single market. The United States has shown us they are a fickle and unreliable trading partner, driven more by the idea of scoring points with their media than the concept of fair and reasonable trade. If we continue to tie ourselves so tightly to the US markets, we are only going to suffer. By seeking out new, more diverse markets, we can lower our exposure to market shocks and domination of trade and our markets to one place, being hyper-reliant and highly dependent solely on them, and to cushion our agri-food industry from the more damaging decisions made by other governments and corporations.
We have seen firsthand in Windsor-Essex the results of the so-called “Free Trade Deals” like the USMCA and the end of the U.S-Canada auto pact by the U.S., which has gutted our manufacturing facilities across our community and cost people good paying jobs. We are seeing the effects on jobs, wages, and prices now with the new U.S. tariffs. Look no further as well than the recent Windsor Salt Mines strike, whose owning company is all but a monopoly and is based in the U.S. They profited off the natural resources of our community and hurt workers and families to seek further, ever-growing profits.
STEVEN GIFFORD, Ontario Party
The candidate did not return a questionnaire submitted to the party's provincial headquarters.
GEMMA GREY-HALL, New Democratic Party
Q: Municipalities have been calling on the province to upload services for the homeless - while asking other infrastructure, like the E.C. Row Expressway, be uploaded, too. Do you think uploading is the answer?
A: Under a Stiles NDP government, the province will take back financial responsibility for formerly provincially owned controlled-access highways and for “Connecting Link” highways whose costs were unfairly downloaded onto municipalities, like the E.C. Row Expressway in Windsor.
Q: How would your party address the shortage of healthcare workers, including family doctors?
A: Under a Stiles NDP government, we’ll hire more doctors and nurses for southwestern Ontario. 400,000 people across the Southwest don’t have a doctor, and that will rise next year as more doctors retire and leave the system. We will invest $4.1 billion over four years to ensure everyone in Ontario has access to team-based primary care.
Q: Does Ontario need an auto strategy? For decades, there have been calls to bring back the Canadian National Auto Strategy. How can Ontario help boost the local automotive industry?
A: Donald Trump’s tariffs threaten to make life even more expensive than it’s become under Doug Ford. Marit Stiles and the Ontario NDP will defend jobs, fight back, and build a resilient, more tariff-proof Ontario.
We will work with affected industries in auto, agriculture and steel, and tourism, alongside labour unions, to defend every job, help businesses find new markets, promote Ontario-made goods, and direct government to procure locally.
We will invest in EVs and ensure Ontario is a leader in North America for EV manufacturing. We will bring back EV rebates, install EV charging infrastructure, and reintroduce EV-readiness building code requirements to protect EV and manufacturing jobs from Windsor to London and foster a domestic market.
With the looming threat of tariffs, we will defend families, jobs, and businesses in Southwest Ontario. We will partner with Ontario employers and unions in Windsor, Niagara, Sarnia, and the rest of the region to protect the jobs of Ontario workers.
Q: How would your party facilitate building affordable new homes?
A: We will get Ontario back to building with Homes Ontario, the largest homebuilding program in generations. Homes Ontario will provide grants and low-cost financing to enable more non-market housing providers.
We will speed up the purchase of existing privately-owned rental units to be converted to permanently affordable public, non-profit, or co-op housing.
We will create 60,000 new supportive housing units province-wide, allowing people living in encampments or the shelter system to move into a safe, permanent home while connecting them to mental health care, addiction treatment, and other ongoing support.
Q: While the Ford government has invested in education, it hasn't kept up with inflation. How would your party address the education funding shortfall?
A: We will reverse Ford’s education cuts and invest in a new, needs-based funding formula. The Ford government has cut education funding by $1,500 per student since 2018, leaving schools with fewer teachers and larger class sizes.
We will fix schools with an additional $830 million per year. The Greater Essex County District School Board has a staggering $400 million in deferred maintenance. Our children deserve safe, well-maintained schools where they can learn and grow without disruption. Our plan will clear the backlog within 10 years.
Q: Do you think Ontario needs to find new markets, aside from the U.S., for the agri-food industry?
A: We need to work with trade-exposed industries, like steel, auto, and agriculture, to provide direct support to keep plants and farms open, create new supply chains, and find new export markets for their goods in Canada and abroad.
We need to promote interprovincial cooperation to break down trade barriers and launch a “Buy Ontario” campaign to promote Ontario goods.
We need to support farmers by removing the cap from the Risk Management Program.
CONNOR LOGAN, Liberal Party
Q: Municipalities have been calling on the province to upload services for the homeless -- while asking other infrastructure, like the E.C. Row Expressway, be uploaded too. Do you think uploading is the answer?
A: When it comes to uploading services for the homeless, I believe all levels of government should work together to offer these services. Homelessness has become an ever-growing issue and these services are critical year-round. When E.C. Row was created, it cost $115 million, the city paid $21 million and the province paid the rest, and costs $4 million a year to maintain. The province transferred responsibility for the expressway to the city in 1997. With the province already paying for the maintenance of the 401 and Highway 3, the cost of E.C. Row should remain with the city.
Q: How would your party address the shortage of healthcare workers, including family doctors?
A: A promise was made to the residents of Windsor–Tecumseh that the new Windsor-Essex Mega-Hospital is to be built by 2026. With patients waiting in the ER and lying in hospital hallways, lack of rooms, and nurses being overworked in unfavorable conditions, there has not been one shovel put in the ground. If elected, I will ensure this hospital is completed on time.
This past month I had to wait for five hours at a walk-in clinic before I was seen. 2.5-million Ontarians are without a family doctor, almost 44,000 of which live in the Windsor-Essex area, and also have to endure these extreme waits. To limit this we will:
Educate, attract, and retain thousands of new domestic and internationally trained family doctors.
Improve the Ontario Health Team network, using it to massively expand access to family doctors practicing in teams close to your home within four years.
Modernize family medicine, put an end to fax machines once and for all, and make appointments available on evenings and weekends.
Stop penalizing patients and doctors if they seek care at walk-in clinics.
Q: Does Ontario need an auto strategy? For decades, there have been calls to bring back the Canadian National Auto Strategy. How can Ontario help boost the local automotive industry?
A: As we know Windsor is the automotive capital of Ontario if not Canada. Times are changing and electric vehicles are the future. All levels of government need to work together to facilitate this development. We saw delays in bringing the battery plant to Windsor as Doug Ford did not want to pay up. Our team will invest in Ontario's automotive future.
Q: How would your party facilitate building affordable new homes?
A: Doug Ford has failed to build the new homes Ontario needs. Rents have skyrocketed, home ownership is further out of reach, and seniors can’t even afford to downsize in their own communities. I am 23, engaged, and I want to start a family, however, I cannot afford a home. I am not the only Ontarian my age in this position. Our team will bring the dream of home ownership within reach, get Windsor–Tecumseh the help it needs, and get our economy back on track. To do this we will:
Eliminate the provincial Land Transfer Tax for first-time homebuyers, seniors downsizing, and non-profit home builders, saving families and seniors on average $13,500 off the cost of a new home.
Scrap Development Charges on new middle-class housing, which can add up to $170,000 to the price of a new home, and replace them with the Better Communities Fund to ensure that the province invests in and benefits from sustainable municipal growth.
Make renting more affordable by introducing fair, phased-in rent control similar to Manitoba, resolving Landlord-Tenant Board disputes within two months, and establishing the Rental Emergency Support for Tenants (REST) Fund to help vulnerable renters avoid eviction during financial emergencies.
Q: While the Ford government has invested in education, it hasn't kept up with inflation. How would your party address the education funding shortfall?
A: Conservative cuts hurt our education system. With many school boards struggling to update their schools, classroom sizes increasing, and programs inevitably being cut, this cannot continue. On Tuesday, February 11th, we announced that we would cut the interest on OSAP loans to help struggling students. Our team will also reverse the detrimental cuts to education so that Ontarians receive a proper education.
Q: Do you think Ontario needs to find new markets, aside from the U.S., for the agri-food industry?
A: While the U.S. is a close friend and ally, we have to understand the current threat they currently impose. Relying predominantly on one market can be risky, especially with trade disputes or shifts in U.S. policy that could affect exports, such as tariffs. Diversifying into other markets can reduce this risk. Exposure to different markets can drive innovation in product development to meet varied consumer tastes and regulations, enhancing the competitiveness of Ontario's agri-food sector globally.
SOPHIA SEVO, Ontario New Blue Party
Q: Municipalities have been calling on the province to upload services for the homeless-- while asking other infrastructure, like the E.C. Row Expressway, be uploaded too. Do you think uploading is the answer?
A: Creating a large bureaucratic state is never a good idea. Bloated budgets and additional salaries are inevitable. We should be able to work together to identify, prioritize, and address our local concerns. Cities are best served by their own communities.
Q: How would your party address the shortage of healthcare workers, including family doctors?
A: To address the healthcare shortage, other parties call for bringing in staff from outside Canada, resulting in lower median wages. Windsor has hundreds of nurses working in factories. The New Blue advocates for the return of all healthcare staff who have lost their jobs due to COVID mandates. To this day, mandates are still in place in Ontario in many institutions, including healthcare.
Q: Does Ontario need an auto strategy? For decades, there have been calls to bring back the Canadian National Auto Strategy. How can Ontario help boost the local automotive industry?
A: Economic health and prosperity or its absence is a result of policy and regulations. For example, the mass exodus of manufacturing since NAFTA is a result of creating unfavorable conditions here in Canada while at the same time, creating incentives to move manufacturing outside of Canada. These policies have negatively affected the automotive sector, and many other sectors in Canada and the U.S.
The New Blue does not support pouring billions of taxpayer money into premature, underdeveloped markets such as the EV market. This is the equivalent of corporate welfare. I also question why these subsidies were awarded to companies headquartered outside Canada and not in Ontario.
With regard to a direct and immediate impact in Windsor, as an advanced pattern maker and trim engineer, I would be thrilled to assist in establishing a Windsor trim or prototyping venture. This is an open offer to the winning candidate and their party.
Q: How would your party facilitate building affordable new homes?
A: The New Blue would focus on cutting red tape and regulations. Housing is a critical issue in Canada due to mass immigration, an issue which cannot be overlooked.
Q: While the Ford government has invested in education, it hasn't kept up with inflation. How would your party address the education funding shortfall?
A: The Ford government is overspending across the board, resulting in inflation. Budgets and administrative costs should be scrutinized to ensure money isn’t lost in the bureaucracy.
The New Blue supports alternative school tax credits and/or a student voucher system.
Q: Do you think Ontario needs to find new markets, aside from the U.S., for the agri-food industry?
Expanding a business by finding new markers is never a bad idea. Our solutions should be balanced and focused on self-reliance and include feeding Ontario and Canada.
ROXANNE TELLIER, Green Party
The candidate did not return a questionnaire submitted to the party's provincial headquarters.
