Thank you for the question. I’m sure he’s noting my tie and saying it’s very scary. Of course, it’s for Halloween, not for your party.

The member asks an important question about auto insurance rates, and he will remember that through the pandemic, it was this government, working alongside industry and others, that had no changes to premiums in 2020 and very limited changes in 2021, producing over a billion dollars in savings for auto drivers in this province.

I’m sure the member opposite will remember it was this Premier and government that took the licence plate stickers off the drivers—that’s eight million people in the province.

And, of course, this member will remember those tolls that the previous government put on the 412 and 418. They’re off, they’re done, they’re gone.

I’m sure this member has read the budget, where we have a plan for auto insurance. Please take the time to read it.

Geopolitical tensions continue to shake the global economy, but Ontario has every advantage to lead. With a skilled workforce, critical minerals and the manufacturing capacity, Ontario is becoming a global leader in electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturing.

Mr. Speaker, in uncertain times you need a plan. We know the opposition’s plan: more regulations, more red tape, higher taxes and higher fees. This government has cut red tape and business taxes to bring investment and good jobs back to Ontario. We got rid of the cap-and-trade tax and cut the gas taxes and fuel taxes to give families and businesses relief at the pumps. We have removed the tolls the Liberal government placed on Highways 412 and 418 to give drivers relief. Our government’s plan will build a stronger Ontario and put more money back in the pockets of the hard-working people of this province.
