The Doug Ford government will table the 2024 Ontario budget on Tuesday.
Officials have been relatively tight-lipped about the budget’s contents, promising only that they will not raise taxes and will focus on rebuilding the economy.
“We're always going to make sure that we put money into people's pockets rather than the government's pockets,” the premier said at a news conference on Monday.
Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy set the stage for his next budget late last week with the purchase of new steel-toed boots in replacement of the typical budget day dress shoes.
“We’re rebuilding the economy,” he said at a Mark’s, formerly known as Mark's Work Wearhouse, on Friday. “I’m going around to construction sites right across the province so these are going to come in very handy.”
“Let’s go build Ontario.”
The last few provincial budgets have put heavy emphasis on industry, manufacturing and infrastructure–and this year will no doubt be the same.
