The Ontario government is set to unveil how it will spend billions in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Finance Minister Rod Phillips is scheduled to deliver the province’s economic and fiscal update in the Ontario legislature at around 4 p.m.
on Wednesday. When asked about the focus of the update on Tuesday, Phillips said it will contain a “significant focus on the response” to COVID-19. “We are concerned about making sure that we are delivering the health care resources,” he told reporters. “We are concerned about making sure we are supporting the business community as we can.” Phillips said the province’s initiatives will complement the federal government’s multi-billion-dollar aid package that is being voted on in Parliament.
