Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton is positive the Making Ontario Open for Business Act will bring the changes Ontario businesses are looking for. 
One of these changes will affect the Ontario College of Trades.
“If you talk to workers in the province who are in the skilled trades, over the last number of years under the previous government, they were charged a pretty hefty fee to belong or just to be in a skilled trade,” McNaughton explains. “We’re going to ensure there’s more apprenticeship opportunity by eliminating that regulatory body, and this is something that workers across the province, those in the skilled trades, have long advocated for.”
McNaughton says some other changes include freezing minimum wage at $14/hr until 2020 and increasing it with inflation, reducing red tape to allow for more job creation, and giving workers up to three days for personal illness and two for bereavement.
