| Dear Friends:
I'm pleased to announce that, tomorrow, we'll be swearing-in our new Ontario Liberal Cabinet.
It's an experienced Cabinet that will guide Ontario through global uncertainty by focusing on building a strong Ontario economy.
Ontario Liberals know that a strong economy supports the schools that teach our children and the hospitals that heal our families.
A strong economy supports the roads we drive on, the communities we live in and the services we depend on, every day.
A strong economy creates the good jobs that provide for our families and gives us the confidence we need to get through difficult times.
And a strong economy supports a good quality of life for all Ontarians — so it is also a means to that higher end that inspires our greatest efforts: a caring society.
I could not be more proud of the experienced, focused leaders who make up our Cabinet. In fact, all our ministers in the new 22-member cabinet — down from 28 —have previously held cabinet positions.
