The Ontario government has led to a manufacturing renaissance in Ontario. Announced this week, Ontario is welcoming a historic investment from Volkswagen to build its first overseas battery cell plant in St. Thomas, Ontario. This game-changing investment is a testament to Ontario’s strong and growing battery ecosystem and competitive business environment.

Ontario is in a housing crisis, and our government is acting decisively to fix it. We know the pace of housing construction in Ontario is not keeping up with demand. Our province is expected to grow by more than two million people by 2031, and approximately 1.5 million of these new residents will live in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region. The federal government has also recently announced updated immigration targets of half a million a year, which will put even more pressure on our housing stock.
