Ontario Strengthening Competitiveness to Attract Investments
TORONTO — Victor Fedeli , Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, issued the following statement on today’s monthly employment release by Statistics Canada | Statistique Canada , which showed Ontario added 17,000 full time jobs last month.
“At a time when countries around the world are facing economic uncertainty, our government continues to build a strong and resilient economy and province. Our targeted and responsible approach supports people and businesses today and lays a strong foundation for the future by lowering costs, cutting red tape and keeping taxes low.
Earlier this month, Site Selection Magazine named Ontario the most competitive province for companies to invest in for the fifth time in the last six years. Companies both domestic and international are looking to grow in Ontario. We’ve attracted over $25 billion in auto and EV battery-related investments, over $3 billion in life sciences investments and billions more in tech investments. These investments are creating good-paying jobs across the province, with more than 200,000 new jobs added to the province in the last year.
As the population continues to grow, we’re also working across government to fill in-demand and good-paying jobs in the construction trades. Construction employment increased by 10,800 in August, and Ontario will need over 100,000 new skilled trades workers this decade to help deliver our ambitious infrastructure plans, which include building at least 1.5 million homes by 2031.
No matter what the future may hold, Ontario will be ready with our plan to build a strong economy and a strong Ontario.”

STATEMENT
Minister McNaughton Thanks Workers on Labour Day
TORONTO — Monte McNaughton , Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, issued the following statement to mark Labour Day:
“Every Labour Day, we pay tribute to the hardworking people who are building a stronger Ontario.
Workers are the backbone of our province. You are the heroes building roofs over our heads, keeping our province running, putting food on our tables and caring for the youngest, oldest and most vulnerable members of our communities.
Under the leadership of Premier Doug Ford, our government will always have workers’ backs. Working together with labour and business like never before, we’ve found historic common ground to deliver for the people of Ontario.
This year, we are raising the minimum wage to $16.55 an hour, cracking down on the exploitation of domestic and temporary foreign workers, and proposing to raise occupational health and safety fines for corporations to the highest level in the country, among many other changes that will put workers in the driver’s seat of their careers and their lives.
Every day, 300,000 jobs continue to go unfilled in our province, threatening to hold our economy back. And each job represents a paycheque not collected and a missed opportunity for someone to build a better life for themselves and their family.
Training is what turns potential into a paycheque. That is why we will continue to invest in our ground-breaking over $860 million Skills Development Fund, leading to a record increase in apprentice registrations and helping hundreds of thousands of workers gain the skills needed to find better jobs and bigger salaries with local businesses.
And through our Portable Benefits Advisory Panel, we will continue to move toward expanding benefits like dental, prescription drug and vision care to millions of workers currently without coverage, like those in retail, hospitality and the gig economy.
The only way we can bring the Ontario dream within reach of more families is by putting workers first. Nobody, anywhere in Canada – or across North America – is doing what we’re doing.
In the coming months, on behalf of all Ontario’s workers, our government will be introducing more first-in-Canada changes to make Ontario the best place to live, work and raise a family. We’re just getting started."
