I don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute news in this moment. Here’s what’s publicly known about Stephanie Smyth, MPP, and notable recent coverage up to now:
Stephanie Smyth is the Ontario Liberal MPP for Toronto–St. Paul’s, elected to the Legislative Assembly in early 2025. She previously had a long career in broadcast journalism, most notably with CP24. This background has been highlighted in profiles and party materials .
In April 2026, there were reports about Premier Doug Ford apologizing for remarks he made in the Ontario legislature that referenced Smyth’s broadcasting career. Smyth stated she accepted the apology; the incident drew media attention and commentary about civility in the legislature.[1][5]
Local and party sources describe Smyth’s focus as addressing constituent concerns in healthcare accessibility, education, and affordability, and she has served as a critic for several portfolios (Ethics and Accountability, Seniors and Accessibility, Northern Affairs) while also acting as a deputy whip for the Liberal caucus during this parliament.[2][3][10]
Coverage about Smyth is reflected across multiple outlets, including parliamentary profiles and party sites, with occasional mentions of her past journalism and her role in holding government to account.[3][6][10][2]
If you’d like, I can search for the latest headlines and provide a brief, sourced summary with direct links to the most recent articles, or pull an up-to-date snapshot of her voting record and committee work. Would you prefer a quick news digest or a focused profile of her current initiatives in Toronto–St. Paul’s?
