Cordiano declined to say who would sit on the committee, but said he wanted representation from tech communities right across Ontario.

 Ontario minister's bills paid by riding association Cordiano defends $44,000 in expenses @ workopolis.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Joe Cordiano, Ontario's globe-trotting Economic Development Minister, dined in pricey restaurants, stayed in luxury hotels, bought clothes and went to the theatre in London's famed West End last year, using his own constituency association to pick up the tab.
Cordiano used constituency association funds raised with taxpayer-supported credits to pay for more than $44,000 in expenses, including $1,282 for clothes from Tom's Place in Toronto, $685 at Biagio Restaurant, also in Toronto, and $227 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan.
Cordiano said the expenses were appropriate and related to his work as a politician, raising money for the Liberal Party.

 York South-Weston
The addition of the solid west part of Joe Cordiano's riding and the candidacy of Cordiano really does change the political centre of gravity around here, and could allow voters to finally emerge from the formidable shadow of the NDP leader-figures who've called this home.
Furthermore, Pellizzari is his most serious opponent in ages (the NDP fielded a nominal last-minute candidate against him in '95), and also marks, after the long, long Macdonald-Rae years, the first time the New Democrats have seriously tried to match the Liberals at their own local ethnic-machine game.
One catch--the federal NDP did abysmally with Italian candidates in '93 and '97 (in the latter case being the MPP Cordiano defeated in '85).

 Eye Weekly - The Park - 11.13.97
Cordiano, who came third in the Liberal leadership contest, made it possible for McGuinty to defeat Kennedy, the front-runner at the start of the convention.
And because of the broad ethic mix of Cordiano's supporters, McGuinty was able to overcome his "white-bread" image as a right-wing lawyer from the Ottawa Valley who didn't understand the multiculturalism of Metro Toronto.
Meanwhile, some party insiders say the real reason Cordiano was dumped is because he is seen by McGuinty as his main political threat if his leadership is challenged after the next election.

That principle has proved stout when applied to economic development ministries too, which is why Ontario and Canada as a whole have lately come to the incentives negotiations table with new cash for automotive companies, as long as it's pegged to R&D and innovation.
Not long after his talk with us, Cordiano was able to welcome the latest fruit of that work, a US$657-million (CA$768-million) investment by DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Group in its Brampton and Windsor plants, as well as its R&D Center in Windsor.

Cordiano did get 53% of the vote here last time, and the Liberals look likely to form the next government...
Re 1999, I don't think it was the NDP threat that pushed Kennedy out so much that *another* Grit heavy hitter and leadership candidate, Joe Cordiano, needed a seat--and as YSW contained Cordiano's core Italian constituency, it was a better fit for him (and in the process leaving the NDP core all but smothered).
It is considered a Liberal stronghold and Joe Cordiano has represented parts of the riding since the eighties.

Cordiano has made two trips to Tokyo promoting Ontario for the investment, and government sources said he's been in almost daily contact with the company for months.
Cordiano still hadn't shaken off the thought of some U.S. state with bulging bags of money rumbling over Team Canada and snatching the plant he coveted.
But Team Canada, which included Cordiano, Prime Minister Paul Martin, federal Industry Minister David Emerson, Woodstock area municipal officials and a small group of civil servants, employed a combination of Canadian politeness, perseverance and the benefit of an all-star plant in Cambridge to beat Schwarzenegger and at least four other American contenders.

Unless there are regulatory or financial market implications, which don’t exist in the majority of cases, a leak of your announcement makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things.
Economic Development and Trade Minister Joe Cordiano faced reporters this week and was asked about the leak of news that Honda would build a $154 million engine plant and create 340 jobs near the company's assembly complex in Alliston, Ont. He could have denied it.
By not getting cute and trying to deny the Honda story, Cordiano added to his own credibility with the media and also scored two days worth of positive publicity where there would otherwise have been only one.

It's too simple to say that Grit MPP Joe Cordiano's recent ouster as deputy leader is about ethnicity, as some federal MPs are saying.
Namely, that by axing Cordiano, McGuinty has tacitly cut off -- and shown a measure of contempt for -- a sizable component of the party rank and file.
In shuffling Cordiano to the sidelines -- he also took away his post as economic development and trade critic -- McGuinty has essentially snubbed the ethnic ranks he'll need to beat Harris in 99.

"This would close off the pipeline that Joe Cordiano used to mask his heavy taxpayer-subsidized spending," Kormos said.
