Hardworking taxpayers in Ottawa are paying for better services in Toronto, while their own services continue to deteriorate. My Ontario Liberal Caucus colleagues from Ottawa and I used every opportunity in Question Period on May 26th to ask the Ford Conservative government why Ottawa is always ignored.

Bill 9 was ordered for third reading on October 20th, 2025, and was only debated at third reading seven months later on May 25th, 2026. Bill 9 isn't perfect and I discuss some of its flaws here, but it's a step in the right direction to protect people from harassment and abuse at City Hall.

The Ontario Liberal caucus proposed cutting the HST on new homes almost a year before the Ford Government acted. We are glad that the Government has finally agreed to join us in our efforts to help families better afford to live in a wonderful community like Orléans.

I was honoured to present a petition on behalf of families in Orléans urging the Conservative government to address the dangerous levels of lead in drinking water in several Ottawa schools with the seriousness and urgency that it deserves.

MPP Stephen Blais is delighted to invite you to join him for a lovely afternoon at his 13th Annual Ladies Tea. Bring a friend and enjoy good conversation, tea, and treats in a welcoming community setting.

Orléans is home to one of the highest concentrations of active Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans and military families in the country. MPP Stephen Blais spoke about the new monument to Canada's Mission in Afghanistan.

Multiple schools across the OCDSB have reported dangerous levels of lead in drinking water. MPP Blais ask the Minister of Education why he and his government are allowing critical frontline education staff, such as custodians and tradespeople, to be laid off at a time when parents are losing trust and confidence in our education system.

The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario (FAO) released its 2025 labour market performance report last Wednesday morning.

This bill is about recognizing and honoring organ and tissue donors by name. It starts with an incredible man named Robbie Sharon. Robbie was only 40 years old when he passed away in May of 2024...

Last week, MPp Blais stood alongside his colleague MPP Lee Fairclough from Etobicoke-Lakeshore as they co-sponsored an important piece of legislation to ban harmful gambling advertising in Ontario.

MPP Blais attended the public hearings for Bill 100, the so-called Better Regional Governance Act, to fight the Ford government’s anti-democratic changes to regional governance structures across Ontario.

I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the teams from the Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Fire Services and Ottawa Police Services who responded to the 911 call that ultimately saved my life in 2013.

On Tuesday morning, the Premier wasn’t in the Legislature, so MPP Blais asked the President of the Treasury Board how often she has authorized the Premier to fly private, why she authorized the purchase of a luxury business jet and if she signed off on the Premier flying private to Ottawa for a photo-op.

We need more than photo-ops and old announcements, The upload of Ottawa’s LRT was promised last year and the upload of Highway 174 was promised two years ago. Zero progress has been made on both…

Legislative page applications for this upcoming fall term are now open. I encourage you to pass this along if you know a Grade 7 or Grade 8 student from Orléans who might be interested in this incredible opportunity.

MPP Blais was honoured to attend the Public Speaking Competition at Chapel Hill Catholic School last Friday and participate as a judge.

The Ford government says that it is tough on crime, but according to public reporting this week, Ontario has improperly released at least 118 inmates between 2021 and 2024, with another 39 mistakenly released in just the first nine months of 2025. How does that even happen?

During Second Reading debate on Bill 101, MPP Stephen Blais, Orléans welcomed parts of the government’s intent, but challenged the bill for falling short of delivering meaningful improvements for students, teachers, and families.

I've heard it from parents and teachers and I've experienced it myself as a Dad. It's time to reduce the screens in our classrooms, get back to textbooks & paper and get our kids back to a system of learning that was proven to work.
