ONTARIO BUDGET COMMENTARY
Finance Minister Dwight Duncan delivered Ontario’s 2011 Budget on March 29, 2011. The Budget is projecting a deficit of $16.7 billion in 2010-11, $3 billion lower than projected a year ago, and decreasing to $16.3 billion in 2011-12.
The 2010 Budget put forward a plan to cut the deficit in half within five years and to eliminate it in eight years. The government remains on track to meet the fiscal targets outlined in the 2010 Budget beyond 2012-13. This includes steadily declining deficits and a return to a balanced budget by 2017-18. There are very few tax related measures included in the Budget. To read more download the full Ontario Budget Commentary below.
