Finance Minister says he's taking a balanced fiscal approach
Ontario’s finance minister is set to table the provincial budget on March 26.
Peter Bethlenfalvy says the upcoming budget will take a balanced fiscal approach that supports public services and infrastructure... while maintaining flexibility.
He is pointing to six key themes of the budget: productivity and innovation, a competitive business environment, infrastructure and housing, trade, talent and workforce along with reliable, affordable, clean energy. He made those themes known on Tuesday while delivering a speech at the Empire Club of Canada in Toronto.
As of the province’s third-quarter finances update, delivered last month, Ontario’s deficit for the current year was projected to be $13.4 billion dollars.
