The People's Budget

The People’s Budget

Take action for a fair Ontario

Ontario has a new Premier, but we have the same challenges.

Cuts to jobs and services have hurt communities just like yours and more than 40 percent of Ontario families are falling behind.

We need to change the conversation on Austerity and make Ontario better for everyone.

Hundreds of community groups, small businesses, trade unions and individuals submitted their ideas for a fairer Ontario. These priorities were compiled into a “People’s Budget for Ontario” that was presented by the Ontario Federation of Labour to the Government of Ontario. Now we must demand that these priorities be reflected in Ontario’s next budget.

Send a message to your Member of Provincial Parliament and the leaders of each of Ontario’s political parties.

The recently released Ontario budget included several recommendations from the People's Budget including new funding for infrastructure, job creation measures, and reforms to social assistance. However, there is still time to make this Budget stronger. I urge you to work with other MPPs to raise the minimum wage and adopt fair taxation measures that will increase revenue and improve public services.
