It has been 9 months since the June 7\nelection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time has simply flown by, and I am\nproud of what we\u2019ve been able to accomplish so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the course of the past nine\nmonths, we have brought forward substantive changes to help bring about a\nbetter, and more prosperous future for the province. It is no secret that due\nto many of the decisions of the previous government, this province was heading\ntoward an uncertain future. Since being elected we have worked hard to right\nthe ship and plot a course based on reason, reality and practicality. Some of\nthe decisions that we have made have not been easy, or popular, but given the\ncircumstances this province was facing, we took steps to ensure Ontario and\nOntarians are given a chance to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring is right around the corner, and traditionally\nthis means it is a time for new beginnings and renewed hope. It is also the\ntime of year when many cultures, including the Persian culture, celebrate their\nNew Year (Nowruz).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowruz, by definition, means a new day.\nIt is a time when families, friends and neighbours come together to usher in a\nnew year. Moreover, during this festive month, families and households spend their\ntime embarking upon the age-old ritual of spring cleaning. This tradition is\nlargely a symbolic and practical ritual of clearing out the old and making room\nfor the new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, this age-old tradition is\nsomething that transcends cultural practice, and translates into a concept that\nwe should all use in every aspect of life. We should always be looking at ways\nin which we can improve the lives and outlooks of, not just ourselves, but our\nfamily, friends, community and province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spring, our government, for the\npeople, will be looking to do just that. We are ambitiously looking to clear out\nthe old, outdated, and inefficient ways of doing business so that we can make\nway for things that will improve and benefit, not just only a few, but the lives\nof all Ontarians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our government will continuously be\nimplementing strategies that will make laws and regulations more efficient,\nprocesses more streamlined, and life more affordable for everyone in this\nprovince. This mantra is a concept that everyone in our government, including\nmyself, has embraced, and will continuously strive towards as we embark upon\nthe spring and summer months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, I would like to end off by\nsaying, I am here to serve the residents of Aurora – Oak Ridges \u2013 Richmond\nHill. If you are a resident of this riding and require assistance, please do\nnot hesitate to reach out, and I will do everything I can to serve you. <\/p>\n\r\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
