ABOUT FINANCE

The principal functions of the Ministry are to recommend taxation, fiscal and economic policies, manage provincial finances and develop and allocate the provincial budget.

The mission of the Ministry of Finance is to promote a dynamic, innovative and growing economy and to manage the fiscal, financial and related regulatory affairs of the Province of Ontario. To carry out this mission the ministry will create a climate for economic growth and job creation in the province; promote the effective and efficient delivery of government services to taxpayers and reduce spending; ensure prudent management of the province's debt; balance the budget; and ensure that public organizations remain accountable to taxpayers for the use of their funds.
