MPP Graydon Smith has been acclaimed as the party’s candidate for Parry Sound-Muskoka in the next provincial election.
The Ontario PC Party made the announcement yesterday (Dec. 10).
The party says in his two and a half years as MPP, Smith has helped secure over $500 million in new government funding, not including the $1 billion investment for new hospitals.
Doug Ford, Leader of the Ontario PC Party, says Smith is a tireless advocate for the community, and his commitment to improving the lives of the families in Parry Sound-Muskoka is unparalleled.
“From cutting costs for families to expanding access to high-speed internet, fighting the Liberal carbon tax to make life more affordable, and investing in local health care, Graydon is delivering results. I’m proud to have him on our team as we continue building a brighter future for all Ontarians,” says Ford.
Smith says he’s grateful for the trust the people across the riding have placed in him.
“Over the past term, we have made substantial progress in improving local quality of life. Our government has committed unprecedented levels of health and infrastructure investment – from the new hospitals to MRI services and expanded primary care teams to over $100 million to build better community infrastructure – and I continue to do everything I can to help make our communities stronger,” says Smith. “But the work doesn’t stop here. We need an MPP in government to shepherd these new hospitals through to completion, ensure critical infrastructure gets built and further expand access to family doctors and nurse practitioners.”
