The Ontario Government, through the October 4 Speech from the Throne, has committed to an economic and fiscal recovery that is fueled by economic growth. To do so, they have committed to “build Ontario, build roads and highways, build and expand transit to communities across the province.” The speech positioned this as part of a commitment to create the conditions for long term economic growth.
The speech also included a commitment to greatly expand hospital beds and long-term care capacity. It is expected that the Government will soon release a fall economic update that will make financial commitments to action the promises made in the speech.
OGCA is working with the government to encourage a sustained and long-term commitment to build Ontario. A long-term commitment to invest in infrastructure is an important investment in the construction industry and economic growth of the province.
