Quotes

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath

“Gilles is an invaluable veteran member of our NDP team, bringing fantastic experience and energy to the table as we run to become government in 2022. I know Gilles will continue to be a champion for northern Ontario, and ensure it finally gets its fair share as the NDP invests in health care, fixes home care and long-term care, and creates more good jobs in the North – the kind of jobs that will keep people in the North to live, work and raise their families.”

When the NDP forms government in 2022, I’m excited to work with Andrea Horwath and our team to deliver better health care for Northerners, better care for seniors closer to home, and to make life in Northern Ontario more affordable by doing things like finally ending gouging at the gas pump.
