The Ontario Government is asking people in Durham Region for their best advice on how to make life more affordable, invest in critical public services and balance the budget by 2023 through public consultations for the 2020 Budget.
Yesterday, it held a public consultation for the 2020 Budget in Whitby.
Minister of Finance Rod Phillips, Peter Bethlenfalvy, President of the Treasury Board and MPP for Pickering—Uxbridge, Lorne Coe, MPP for Whitby—Oshawa, and Lindsey Park, MPP for Durham, hosted the session.
“The Ontario Budget impacts us all. It is important for us to hear first-hand from everyone across the province about the priorities they feel should be included in our plan to build Ontario together,” said Minister Phillips. “Together, we can make this vision a reality and enable a better quality of life and high standard of living for all our citizens.”
Minister Phillips and Parliamentary Assistant Stan Cho will be hosting community budget consultations along with MPPs across the province to hear directly from Ontario’s hard-working individuals, families and businesses.
