2007 Pre-Budget Consultations

The Ontario economy is fundamentally strong.  The economy is still growing and creating jobs; however, we face challenges and risks beyond our control, including a slowdown in the U.S. economy, high oil prices, the strength of the Canadian dollar and competition from emerging global economies.

The government believes the best way to withstand these external factors is to remain prudent while continuing to build on strong economic fundamentals. 

With fair support from the federal government, Ontario could do even more to strengthen the economy and improve public services like health, education and infrastructure.

These are some of the important issues to consider as the government plans for the 2007 Ontario Budget.
