I want to thank the member opposite for her comments.

With this bill, we are helping create the conditions for businesses and people to thrive, and we’re not going to stop until the job is done.

One thing the member mentioned was that Toronto is a magnet for employment, and she’s right—through you, Madam Speaker. But to be a magnet for employment, we have to create the environment—and that is what this government is doing, by cutting red tape, keeping taxes low and building houses.

Since being elected in 2018, our government has taken over 400 actions to reduce red tape while maintaining important regulations that provide people’s health, safety and the environment. This has led to savings of almost a half a billion dollars in annual compliance costs—$500 million.

Will the member opposite agree that cutting red tape saves people and businesses time and money so they can grow their businesses and spend more time with family, therefore creating more jobs in Toronto?

I want to thank the member from London North Centre for his presentation today. And I would love to take him up on his offer to visit his OSPCA. I always like to see good people caring for our animals—something near and dear to my heart.

What I actually want to talk a little bit about today is the justice system.

Throughout COVID, we moved 25 years in 25 days to make sure that we can cut red tape across government, and that has many benefits to people—people in our communities who were able to get to the justice system; quicker, better access; people who can’t get from A to B, so they’re able to learn online.

You intend to vote against our red tape reduction measures, but they do have many benefits for the people of Ontario, especially those with lower income. I’m going to ask you a little bit about this bill—cutting red tape to help out those lower-income earners, to make sure they can get justice faster. I just want your thoughts on that.

Point of order.

I want to thank Minister Gill and Minister Thompson for joining me at the food terminal in Etobicoke–Lakeshore for your announcement this morning. Thank you for coming to the great riding of Etobicoke–Lakeshore.

My question is around animal health preparedness and what the minister was talking about with veterinarians. With my vet bills, I might as well have a whole farm, because my dog is at the vet so often. When you are talking with veterinarians—I’m just wondering if you are planning on doing some consultations. And what do we plan on getting out of the consultations, if there are any? What I’ve been hearing is that there are not a lot of vets. We’re lacking veterinarians, and we’re also lacking vet techs. Will these consultations and these changes help get more people into that field?
