TORONTO — Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, issued the following statement on the monthly employment release by Statistics Canada, which showed Ontario added 6,500 jobs last month, including 6,100 jobs in our manufacturing sector. This builds on the over 700,000 jobs that have been created since 2018.
“Continued investments by large multinational, national and local businesses demonstrate that our government’s targeted and responsible approach to growing Ontario’s manufacturing sector is working. At a time when countries around the world are facing economic uncertainty, our highly skilled workforce, competitive business costs, access to global markets, and stable political and economic climate have seen manufacturers continue to choose Ontario.”
