Bill 22 changes the Poet Laureate of Ontario Act (In Memory of Gord Downie) to allow for an English-language Poet Laureate and a French-language Poet Laureate, instead of just a single Poet Laureate. It also makes the necessary changes to ensure that the French-language Poet Laureate needs to have the majority of their work written in French and that at least two members of the selection panel are capable of evaluating the original French-language works.

Bill 20 does two things. First, it changes the Post-secondary Education Choice and Excellence Act so that anyone approved to give out nursing degrees must also offer Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner training, for free, to every student enrolled in the nursing program. Second, it changes the Public Hospitals Act to require hospitals to have at least 10 sexual assault evidence kits available at all times, to be provided free of charge to patients that need them.
