It's budget day in Ontario

Finance Minister and Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli will table the PC Government’s first budget today.

In a pre-budget video released online Wednesday (see below) Fedeli said Ontario’s fiscal health needs to be restored.

He also says the government is committed to protecting core services like healthcare and education.

Premier Doug Ford says the plan will lay out a path to balance.

But he hasn’t said just how long it will take to get rid of the $13.5 billion deficit.

Various budget tidbits leaked in recent days include redesigning licence plates, legalizing tailgate parties and free dental care for low-income seniors.
