October 7, 2015 · 0 Comments
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown appointed Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones Deputy Leader of the PC Caucus along with Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark.
In addition to being named Deputy Leader, Jones was appointed PC Critic for Children and Youth Services and will continue serving on the Select Committee on Sexual Violence and Harassment.
“I look forward to this new opportunity to work with our Leader Patrick Brown as the fall legislative session begins next week to highlight the issues facing Ontarians and businesses today, including skyrocketing energy rates, excessive red tape and the Wynne Liberals’ proposed job killing payroll tax — the ORPP,” Jones said.
“As the Critic for Children and Youth Services, I am looking forward to working again with advocates and organizations that serve our province’s future generations,” she added.
Since elected in 2007, Jones has held the roles of PC Critic for the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Ministry of Government Services, and the Attorney General.
