| Info | Monique Smith was first elected to the Ontario legislature in 2003, but was no stranger to the legislature, having worked from 1997 to 1999 as chief of staff to the leader of the Official Opposition, Dalton McGuinty. Prior to her recruitment by McGuinty’s team, she practiced labour and employment law at McCarthy Tétrault, a Toronto law firm.
After the 1999 general election, Monique joined the Association of Canadian Publishers (ACP) as executive director. The ACP is a national trade association representing over 140 Canadian-owned publishing houses across the country. As executive director, she traveled extensively, promoting Canadian publishing and was a bilingual spokesperson for the industry both nationally and internationally.
Since her election in 2003, Monique has been working hard on behalf of her constituents and ensuring the voices of Northern Ontarians are heard at Queen’s Park. She has served on the Select Committee on Democratic Renewal and the Board of Internal Economy. Shortly after her election she was appointed Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care and in May 2004, she completed a province-wide review of long-term care, the results of which were included in her report, A Commitment to Care: A Plan for Long-Term Care in Ontario. This report has served as the foundation for the many reforms the McGuinty Government has undertaken in long-term care.
Named “Newsmaker of the Year” in both 2003 and 2005 for North Bay and area, Monique continues to work hard on behalf of her community and advocate forcefully on behalf of the North.
