Minister of Energy and Electrification for the Province of Ontario
Stephen Lecce is the Minister of Energy and Electrification for the Province of Ontario and the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for King-Vaughan. As the Minister of Energy and Electrification, Stephen is keeping energy costs down for residents and businesses across Ontario, while building a reliable and affordable electricity system that runs one of the cleanest grids in the world. In his mission to build out the electricity resources we need to power economic growth and increasing electrification, Stephen is engaging with leaders from Ontario's world-class energy sector, and partners across the province, including Indigenous communities, local distribution companies, transmission companies, and energy agencies, to ensure our energy infrastructure is built the right way for future generations.
Stephen's work will continue to build on Ontario's clean energy advantage and help ensure that Ontario's energy system is ready to support the next historic investment.
Stephen's first experience in politics came in his home town of Vaughan where he was involved in the 1999 election of the late MPP Al Palladini. Since then, he has served as the Chief Spokesperson for former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, as Deputy Government House Leader, the Parliamentary Assistant to the Ministry of Infrastructure, and the Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier. Stephen is a community leader, who has devoted over half his life to public service. He continues to give back and support the people of King-Vaughan as MPP, and as the former First Vice President of the National Congress of Italian Canadians, an active member of the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce and former Youth Education Chair of Vaughan’s Royal Canadian Legion (Mackenzie Branch 414). Stephen lives in Vaughan, where he grew up, and remains active in his community.
