TORONTO—The current Ontario government is continuing its immediate predecessors’ failed approach of slowing spending growth as a means towards a balanced budget, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Despite criticisms of past governments, the Ford government has generally continued the fiscal policies of the McGuinty and Wynne governments with respect to spending and debt,” said Ben Eisen, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of Ford Government Fiscal Policy Approach Mirrors that of McGuinty and Wynne.
