  • Elizabeth Witmer
    Elizabeth Witmer Elizabeth Witmer grew up in a small Ontario town guided by her father who was a school custodian and her mother, a housecleaner. It was in these formative years that Witmer absorbed the values and strong work ethic that would make her one of the most powerful women in Ontario politics. As a Member of Provincial Parliament for Kitchener-Waterloo since 1990, Witmer has served in many high-profile posts including Minister of Labour, Health, Environment and Education and as Deputy Premier of Ontario. After her party was defeated in the 2003 election, she was named the Deputy Leader of the Official Opposition and Critic for Long-Term Care and Women’s Issues. Witmer served in Cabinet under the leadership of former Premier Mike Harris and his Common Sense Revolution. However, when she ran for the Tory leadership in 2002 she articulated a more moderate approach to governance. “The coming challenge is to rebuild what I call our human infrastructure. The people who work in health care, education, childcare and the public service need to know that their government appreciates and respects them,” she said. Witmer was unsuccessful in her bid for leadership but has not ruled out running again in the future. Witmer’s interest in politics was likely sparked by her father Josef Gosar, who supported former Tory Premier Bill Davis. Gosar died of cancer during Witmer’s 2002 leadership campaign. It was a difficult time for Witmer, who also lost her father-in-law and an uncle that year. During a later speech Witmer commented that the difficulties of political life are buffered by her strong Christian faith and devotion to her husband and two children.
