Government remains focused on keeping costs down and rebuilding Ontario’s economy
August 13, 2024
Today, the Ontario government released the 2024–25 First Quarter Finances, the first update on the province’s economic and fiscal outlook since the release of the 2024 Ontario Budget: Building a Better Ontario.
The report, which provides updated information about Ontario’s finances as of June 30, 2024 for the 2024–25 fiscal year, demonstrates that the province’s fiscal outlook remains on track despite ongoing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
Our Chamber added our name as signatory to the joint letter that was submitted to the Prime Minister, as well as Ministers MacKinnon and Rodriguez, regarding the potential labour disruption in both Class I railways. The letter was signed by more than 70 business associations and 40 chambers of commerce and boards of trade.
Regarding the decision, the Canda Industrial Relations Board ruled there is no need for essential services in the event of a work stoppage in the rail industry. The earliest a work stoppage can occur at CN and CPKC is August 22.
