David Piccini is Ontario’s Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development and Member of Provincial Parliament for Northumberland—Peterborough South. He previously served as Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks. 
 
As Ontario’s Labour Minister, David is working to support and protect workers, help more people find better jobs and bigger paycheques, and lead Ontario’s plan to welcome newcomers with the skills needed to address Ontario’s historic labour shortage. 

At the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, David oversaw historic protection of greenspace and biodiversity through record funding to the Greenlands Conservation Partnership Program and began the process of creating two new operating provincial parks - Ontario’s first in forty years. He worked with the steel sector on one of the largest industrial decarbonization projects in Canada’s history - critical to Ontario’s EV automotive supply chain.  David also led the transition of Ontario’s blue box program to producer responsibility with some of the highest recycling targets in North America; new clean air standards; and the largest commitment to protect caribou in Ontario’s history.

Before entering politics, David worked for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
 
David is a proud resident of Port Hope, where he currently lives with his wife and two dogs.
