# Nina Tangri

Nina Tangri MPP is a Canadian politician who is currently Ontario's Associate Minister of Housing. She previously served as the Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction from June 2021 until June 2022. She was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2018 provincial election. She represents the riding of Mississauga—Streetsville as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.
Tangri previously ran as the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada candidate for Mississauga Centre in the 2000 federal election, as the Conservative Party of Canada candidate for Mississauga—Streetsville in the 2004 federal election, as the Ontario Progressive Conservative candidate for Mississauga West in the 2003 provincial election, and for Mississauga—Streetsville in the 2007 and 2014 provincial elections.

## Candidacy for Speaker

On June 23, 2022, the day before the swearing-in of the new Ford Ministry, it was reported in the media that Tangri planned to run to be Speaker of the Legislature. Parm Gill assumed her cabinet position the next day.
On August 8, 2022, MPPs re-elected incumbent speaker Ted Arnott by secret ballot, despite the Premier's tacit endorsement of Tangri. This followed accusations from the Official Opposition that Government House Leader Paul Calandra "threatened to strip" the party of three presiding officers and various committee chair roles should they not support her. The Ontario NDP currently has one presiding officer position.
