Today, I attended the renaming ceremony of our local #YorkCentre flagship hospital - now renamed Hennick Humber Hospital @HRHealth_ .  Thanks to a transformational gift of $50 million from Jay and Barbara Hennick @HRH_Foundation , our hospital will continue to thrive with innovation and cutting-edge technology to improve patient care and as a healthcare leader in our country.  I would also like to acknowledge our incredible CEO @BarbCollinsHRH and her team of visionaries that help us see tomorrow, today. #YorkCentre #Humber #Healthcare

It was an honour to recognize the De Sario family the with King Charles III Coronation Pins. Each year, they assemble one of the largest displays of Christmas lights for the community to see and enjoy while raising money for @sickkids hospital, which they have proudly done for the past 26 years. This is an example of the power of what one family can do to inspire a community in unity. #YorkCentre #SickKids #FestivalOfLights

It was an honour to join Minister @MichaelParsa and so many community members recently for Nowruz: Unbroken. Evenings like this remind us of the importance of standing together for human rights, freedom, and democracy. Thank you to the organizers of Nowruz: Unbroken, @Ardeshirz at @ICHRworld, and Sara Izadi, at Hope In Your Hearts Charity for the warm welcome! @frankscarpitti #YorkCentre #Nowruz #IranianDemocracy

I wish everyone a beautiful Buona Pasqua! Happy Easter! Celebrated today on Easter Sunday, Christians around the world gather with their families in spiritual renewal and optimism. I am especially grateful to our #yorkcentre Italian community whose strength and stay of faith has taught us the power of letting light overcome darkness.  Grazie a tutti!

Ontario stands with legal, law-abiding gun owners — and so do the facts. With the federal government’s gun buyback declaration deadline now passed, nearly 90% of owners refused to participate — a staggering rejection of a fundamentally flawed policy. Ontario stands ready to work with the federal government on common-sense solutions that target illegal guns, not responsible hunters and sport shooters. Our government, under Premier @FordNation’s leadership, will always remain laser-focused on what matters: taking real action to get illegal guns off our streets, combatting organized crime, and protecting Ontario.

Today, Jewish families in Ontario and around the world mark the beginning of Passover. This is a time to reflect on the enduring importance of freedom, faith and resilience. Chag Pesach Sameach!

I wish everyone a meaningful Chag Sameach, V'Kasher Pesach — a happy Passover!   I am proud to be part of a vibrant and strong Ontario Jewish community whose foundations were built through the generations and passed down to us.      The biblical story of the exodus from Egypt is not just told every year at the seder table, but retold to make sure that in current times we know that our strength comes from believing in ourselves, in our resilience and strength!     #Passover   @UJAFederation @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada @CanadianFSWC @IsraelinToronto

Sending my sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Sûreté du Québec Police Officer Anaïs Fortin-Cozzens, who tragically lost her life following a motor vehicle collision in Portneuf-sur-Mer, Quebec. Earlier today, I shared my condolences with Minister @IanLafreniere and @Dom_Roberge, President of the Association des policiers provinciaux du Québec. #HeroesInLife   — J’adresse mes plus sincères condoléances à la famille, aux amis et aux collègues de l’agente de la Sûreté du Québec Anaïs Fortin-Cozzens, qui a tragiquement perdu la vie à la suite d’une collision automobile à Portneuf-sur-Mer, au Québec. Plus tôt aujourd’hui, j’ai transmis mes condoléances au ministre Ian Lafreniere ainsi qu’à Dominic Roberge, président de l’Association des policiers provinciaux du Québec. #HeroesInLife   @appq_sq

Good to welcome Mayor David Plourde of Kapuskasing to my office while he was in Toronto for the @GoodRoads Conference.   We had a productive discussion on how we can continue to protect Ontario and keep our roads safe for all motorists, because safe roads mean safer communities.

Yesterday our #yorkcentre neighbours joined me in my annual Skate with your MPP at Roding community centre. I am so proud of my constituency and in our diversity. Looking forward to our next 2026 Grand Tour of Events including the famous Ice Cream Express - stay tuned! @MppGualtieri

#Budget2026 is a plan to protect Ontario.   Today, during second reading debate, I reaffirmed how, under Premier @FordNation’s leadership, this budget is making generational investments to strengthen Ontario’s public safety network.   From policing, to firefighting, to major expansions and 700 new hires in our correctional system, we are leaving no stone unturned to keep our communities safe.

It’s week two at the legislature!

Today, I’m speaking to #Budget2026, introduced by Minister @PBethlenfalvy last week. This budget reflects our government’s commitment, under the leadership of Premier @fordnation, to protect Ontario and its communities, attract new investments, and build a more self-reliant economy that supports Ontario’s long-term prosperity.

Last Friday, I joined our incredible #YorkCentre Turkish community who bring their warmth, culture, and friendship to #Ontario. It was very special for me to join their Eid al-Fitr lunch to conclude the Ramadan season. A special thank you to Imam Erdem Sezgin from @tulipislamic and Ozgur Boyacioglu from @TorontoCtfc for organizing this event.

Today, our government, led by Premier @fordnation, tabled the #ONBudget2026: A Plan to Protect Ontario. I am grateful to Minister of Finance @PBethlenfalvy and President of the Treasury Board @C_Mulroney for their leadership. As we build a more self-reliant province, we are unlocking the resilience and optimism that will carry Ontario forward for generations to come.

Be a public safety ambassador to your community.   That was my message to the 104 outstanding graduates at yesterday’s @DRPS Youth in Policing Initiative.   Over the past five months, they’ve learned what it means to wear the uniform, serve others before self, and help protect Ontario. @drps_yip @AssociationDrp @Chief_Moreira @PoliceAssocON @OACPOfficial
