In 2022, Rakocevic tabled the Ontario Consumer Watchdog Act, which would have created an independent provincial consumer protection agency.[3] The bill was defeated on March 9, 2022, after the Progressive Conservative Party voted against it.[4]

In January 2024, Rakocevic denounced the Ontario government's decision to outsource a number of Service Ontario locations to Staples.[6][7][8]
