“Competing ideas are at the heart of democracy, and we would like to commend all party leaders and candidates who put their names forward to serve their communities during this provincial election. I would like to extend my gratitude to resigning leaders Andrea Horwath and Steven Del Duca for their leadership and service to Ontarians.
