STATEMENT
Ontario Continues to Strengthen the Economy
Supporting opportunities from domestic and international companies is a key part of the province’s plan to build
December 02, 2022
TORONTO — Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, issued this statement following today’s monthly employment release by Statistics Canada that showed employment in Ontario increased by 22,600 jobs in November:
“Our government continues to work around the clock to strengthen the economy and attract investments that will create good paying jobs for the people of Ontario. Domestic and international companies are looking for jurisdictions with a highly skilled workforce, a world-class innovation ecosystem and a competitive business environment that will help them grow, all of which Ontario offers.
Supporting small businesses is a key part of our plan to build Ontario. There are more than 480,000 small businesses across the province, employing one‐third of the workforce. Main Street Ontario matters, which is why we are lowering small business costs and putting money back into businesses to invest in workers, expansion and new technology.
From making provincially administered taxes more manageable, to introducing savings on brick-and-mortar costs like property taxes and energy bills for businesses, to training the brightest talent, Ontario’s support for domestic and international businesses is both deep and broad.
We have heard from companies around the world that Ontario is a trusted and reliable jurisdiction – safe for their employees and safe for their families. As we wrap up our most recent trade mission to India, we know that this continues to ring true. In November, we welcomed L&T Technology Services and Snowflake Engineering to Ontario – two international technology companies that will create a combined total of 400 well-paying jobs. We continue to see new global companies invest in Ontario every day, and we welcome the many opportunities these investments will create.”
