The right plan for these times
Ontario is being challenged by a slowing American economy, fluctuating oil prices and dollar. That’s why the McGuinty government is doing everything we can to help our businesses and families, and help our economy emerge even stronger.
We’ve got a five-point plan for the economy, and it’s the right plan for these times. It includes investing in skills and education so people can get the jobs they need to provide for their families. We’re renewing our infrastructure to create jobs and opportunity in the short term and strengthen our economy for the future.
We’re investing in innovation so that Ontario is the place to turn new ideas into products and processes the world demands. We want Ontario to be an attractive place to invest, so we’re lowering the cost of doing business here.
People across the province are re-examining their personal spending and your government is doing the same. That is why we are committed to finding $108 million in efficiencies and savings. This will be achieved through delaying some spending initiatives, restricting government travel and restraining internal spending.
At a time when global economic challenges are real, present and being felt by Ontario’s families and businesses, strong leadership is needed to see us through.
Our government will continue to work with and for Ontarians, as we have done since 2003, to stimulate economic growth and create jobs, strengthen our public health care and education systems and manage spending. These investments define our commitment and belief that by working together, we can overcome these challenges and emerge a stronger province.
