Greg was first elected MPP for York North in 1985 and re-elected for the new riding of York Centre in 1987 and 1990. In the previous Liberal government, he held a series of senior cabinet posts, including the double portfolios of Minister of Colleges and Universities/Minister of Skills Development and Minister of Labour/Minister Responsible for Women's Issues.
