The 2006 Ontario Budget, tabled March 23, 2006, is part of the government's plan to invest in three key priorities — education, health and a strong economy — while making progress toward eliminating the deficit, which for 2005-06 has been reduced to $1.4 billion.
Specifically, the 2006 Budget proposes a $1.2 billion investment in Move Ontario which will support public transit and provide funding for roads and bridges. The 2006 Budget also proposes new funding for healthcare, education and safe communities.
