Our Team

Brad Duguid
President, AMPCO

Brad Duguid retired from public office in 2018, following a highly successful 30-year political career. He held numerous cabinet positions including Minister of Labour; Aboriginal Affairs; Infrastructure; Research and Innovation; Energy; Training Colleges and Universities; and Economic Development. 

As Minister of Energy, Brad implemented the Industrial Conservation Initiative which has remained a critical tool to help large industrial energy ratepayers reduce their energy costs while also reducing energy system costs. He also authored and brought forward the first true Long-term Energy Plan in Ontario. His work in partnership with Indigenous leaders and communities significantly improved relations with Indigenous people in Ontario.
