Ontario Budget 2021 Analysis

Today, Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy tabled his first, and the Ford government’s third, annual Budget. The Minister, who has been pulling double duty at Finance and Treasury Board since assuming the Finance role from his predecessor, has been in the Finance role for only about three months.
