Helping Workers and Businesses
The government is building an economy that is more resilient and self-reliant, while taking action to help weather the storm from the impacts of U.S. tariffs by providing urgent relief and supports for workers, businesses and communities.
Protect Ontario
Investments in manufacturing, expanding interprovincial trade, increasing the province’s electricity capacity, encouraging innovation and helping small businesses thrive are some of the ways the government is protecting Ontario’s economy and helping to transform Ontario into the most competitive place to invest and do business in the G7.
The government is protecting Ontario’s communities by enhancing security at the U.S. border and cleaning up the streets to protect neighbourhoods from dangerous criminals. The government is also proposing to make the province’s Gasoline and Fuel Tax rate cuts permanent and keeping costs down through affordable public transit.
Ontario is investing even more in health care, education and other critical services. With a strong economy, increased investments and delivering better services, the government is putting people, communities and businesses first.

Economic and Fiscal Overview
The government’s prudent and responsible approach to fiscal management has supported Ontario’s people and businesses through countless economic challenges and geopolitical uncertainties. Despite these factors, the government retains a path to balance and a sustainable and relatively low debt burden. Yet, it is still making historic investments to support affordability and critical public services such as health care, education and infrastructure. Ontario is also taking action to secure the resources it needs to drive economic growth, boost productivity and help make the province’s economy the most competitive in the G7.
