Province Promising To Balance Books By 2017-2018

The Liberal Government is promising to balance the provincial budget by 2017-2018.
Finance Minister Charles Sousa made that promise Monday when presenting the new fiscal document.
Sousa says they will control expenses, eliminate the deficit and continue to cut where they can.
However, Sousa is also promising to continue key investments.
The Liberal plan includes a first-of-its-kind mandatory provincial pension plan and funding for road improvements.
It also includes a billion dollar commitment for transportation infrastructure to the Ring of Fire mining development in northern Ontario.
