MPP Donna Skelly elected First Women Speaker of Ontario’s Legislature

Today, “herstory” was made as Donna Skelly, Ontario PC MPP, became the first woman elected Speaker of the Ontario Legislature. Speaker Skelly has been an MPP in Ontario’s Legislature since 2018, representing the riding of Flamborough-Glanbrook.  

The Ontario Federation of Labour offers our sincere congratulations on this historic election.  

As Speaker, we hope Donna Skelly will foster meaningful cross-party collaboration and uphold the democratic tradition and processes of the People’s House. As Ontario faces serious challenges, from economic uncertainty and reckless U.S. tariffs, we are counting on an all-party leadership approach, and our elected representatives that are committed to protecting the voices of everyone in the Ontario Legislature.
