Marvin Ryder on Ontario’s coming budget

Finance minister Charles Sousa will deliver his budget at Queen’s Park just after 4:00 this afternoon.

While a number of announcements have already been made about what we can expect, the budget is expected to provide further details on how the Liberal government plans to fund expanded transit and create an Ontario pension plan.

Once again, Kathleen Wynne needs the support of the NDP to pass the budget and avoid an election, since the Progressive Conservatives have consistently said they won’t support the minority Liberals.

NDP leader Andrea Horwath has said she’ll make a decision after seeing the budget document.
