Wynne ministry

The Wynne ministry was the government of Ontario, a province in Canada, from February 11, 2013, to June 29, 2018. It was named after the 25th Premier of Ontario Kathleen Wynne, who chaired the cabinet of this government. Ms. Wynne was invited to form the government upon her election two weeks prior as the leader of Ontario's governing party, the Ontario Liberal Party,

The Wynne ministry inherited a minority governing mandate from the McGuinty ministry, the province's government from 2003 to 2013 of which Ms. Wynne and many members of her ministry were members. At the start of Wynne's premiership, her party commanded a minority that was only one seat shy of majority. It was weakened in the summer of 2013 by three byelection losses, followed by a fourth in February 2014, and the resignation of one of Ms. Wynne's closest ally in March 2013. At the dissolution of the 40th Parliament of Ontario, the government's 48 members faced 58 opposition members across the aisle. Following the election held in June, 2014, the Ontario Liberals regained its majority in the 41st Parliament of Ontario, allowing the Wynne ministry to govern until the party's historic defeat in the 2018 election.
