"Gregory Sam "Greg" Sorbara," Member of Provincial Parliament (Ontario)/MPP (born September 4, 1946 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canada/Canadian politician. A member of the Ontario Liberal Party, he served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1985 until 1995, and then from 2001 until 2012, most recently representing the riding of Vaughan (provincial electoral district)/Vaughan. Sorbara served as the Ministry of Finance (Ontario)/Minister of Finance in the Liberal government of Premier of Ontario/Premier Dalton McGuinty from 2003 to 2007.

He resigned on October 11, 2005, following a police investigation involving his family's real estate development firm and was reinstated on May 23, 2006 after a judge ruled that there was no cause for including Sorbara's name on a search warrant. Sorbara chaired the party's successful Ontario general election, 2007/2007 election campaign but announced on October 26, 2007 that he was leaving the cabinet to spend more time with his family but would continue as a backbench MPP. On August 1, 2012, Sorbara announced that he was retiring from the legislature but would stay on as chair of the Liberal's election campaign.
