- Bill 101: Advocate for Older Adults Act, 2023 [Please note: Second Reading of this Bill was voted on at Queen’s Park on May 18, 2023, and lost on division. This means that it did not go to committee and is not law in Ontario]:
- Bill 196: Seniors’ Advocate Act, 2020 [Please note this Bill was referred to committee after second reading, but was not called by the government for third reading. As such, it also did not become law in Ontario.]
