President Biden’s address to Parliament today reinforced cooperation between our two countries and our shared goal of sustainable economic development. #HamOnt is an important hub for commerce between the US and Canada. We’ll continue to work together for a prosperous future. twitter.com/justintrudeau/…

This morning, I joined @InnovateGuelph and Minister @FilomenaTassi for a celebration of cohort 1 of the i.d.e.a fund!
The i.d.e.a fund was created to support and position local economies in southern Ontario for long-term growth.

L'accès à une éducation postsecondaire abordable est important pour les Canadiens. Notre gouvernement a éliminé les intérêts sur les prêts étudiants fédéraux. Les étudiants devraient penser à leur carrière, et non au temps qu'il leur faudra pour rembourser leurs prêts.

Access to affordable post-secondary education is important for many Canadians. That's why our government permanently eliminated interest on federal student loans. Students should be thinking about their careers, not how long it's going to take to repay their loans.

I joined MP @YaaraSaks at @DAIR_Hub to celebrate the 8 fantastic green fund recipients who are creating innovative solutions to lower the aerospace industry's carbon footprint. Our government invested in DAIR so they could seize the opportunity to uplift other businesses.

I spent time with my colleagues @lisahepfner and @ChadCollinsMP to work on a new home for a family in need with @HabitatCanada in #HamOnt! This incredible organization is mainly run by volunteers that work tirelessly to help house people in clean and safe environments. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Our government is committed to ensuring children have access to quality dental care. I visited my dentist, Dr. Fortino, in Hamilton to see what he had to say about the importance of oral health and encouraging children to take care of their smiles! #CanadaDentalBenefit

REACH Mobile clinic is getting healthcare to those in need. It is a safe place for vulnerable people to receive diagnoses and treatment. I had the pleasure of touring the space and seeing how much they do for people in St. Catharines.

In 2021, our government committed to providing 10$/day daycare to parents in 🇨🇦 by 2026. By the end of 2022, families saw costs cut by up to 50%. Today I met with #LondonBridgeChildCare Services to see how the program is going for them as providers - thank you for sharing!#Ldnont

Access to child care is a challenge for #CdnAg families 🇨🇦 due to atypical work schedules and lack of services in rural areas. Our government is investing to make $10/day child care accessible.

Nearly one year ago, our govt reached a $10.2 billion agreement with the #Ontario government to adopt a $10-a-day child care system.
Families in #OttawaVanier and all across Canada deserve access to high quality & affordable child care, and we are working to make that happen.

$10/day child care is here in this province in just 2 years - saving families about $6,300/yr per child.
We know child care needs to be more than affordable, it also has to be available - thats why the province is training more ECEs and increasing wages.

Affordable childcare should be a reality for every parent. I visited the YWCA Hamilton-West Mountain childcare centre in Hamilton earlier this week to see how the reduced childcare fees are helping parents. Here’s how it went!

MP @PamDamoff & I visited the Trafalgar Oaks Child Care Centre! It was great to tour the facility & meet the exceptional children & teachers. Affordable childcare is our government's priority. That's why we’ve cut childcare fees in half & are on our way to $10/day by 2025!
