Premier Doug Ford increased spending by record levels but Ontario deficit lower due to federal infusion of pandemic funds

“Make no mistake about it, we’re going to be spending every single penny of what we receive (from Ottawa in transfers),” said Ford, amid questions about where pandemic funds are going.

“It’s no secret that we spend billions and billions of dollars supporting the people of Ontario, supporting the business and supporting the health care system, we’re going to continue doing that,” he said.

“There won’t be a penny left on the table when it comes to the pandemic. I think I’ve shown the people of this province I have not spared a penny. I want to make sure that the money goes to the right areas allocated to the appropriate people.”
