Our investments have removed 20,000 children from poverty. The income tax cuts we introduced in 2009 mean 90,000 low-income people pay no income taxes at all. We are committed to increasing the Ontario Child Benefit to $1,310, although on a slower schedule than we would have liked. The choices we are making are fair, balanced and reasonable. Our government has presented a strong plan to strengthen the economy and protect the gains we have all made in education and health care.

A recent study on equalization concluded that levels of government services in net-contributor provinces (Ontario, B.C. and Alberta) such as daycare spaces, student-educator ratios, undergraduate tuition and numbers of nurses and doctors per capita, are significantly lower than those in equalization recipient provinces… Ontario will continue to push for a balance between fairness and affordability in the equalization program.
