Toronto must get its “fiscal house in order” and Ottawa will have to step up to help the cash-starved city, because Queen’s Park has done enough, says Premier Doug Ford.— but warned there would be no new federal money for the city — the premier stressed the province has already contributed much more to Toronto.
Despite a request from the city, which has a $1-billion budget shortfall, Ottawa did not match the provincial share. That’s the overall amount of the city’s budget that the premier maintained comes directly from the province. “Certainly that’s a conversation I had with Olivia last night and we’ll continue to work on last question.”“What I recommend to the city of Toronto … you have to get your fiscal house in order. You can’t be spending taxpayers money willy-nilly, said the premier, who presides over the largest-spending government in the history of Ontario.
