ADDENDUM: Parliamentary Assistants Help Build A Stronger Ontario

Several Ontario MPPs are getting new portfolios in order to drive the government's economic, education and green energy agenda.

Parliamentary assistants work with ministers to carry out the government's agenda.

They are often assigned special projects and develop policy proposals for the government. In the Legislature, they often represent their ministers during debate on government bills.
