Troubled Economy: Public Services

Ontario Government Dept: That's because many of the things Drummond is expected to recommend from cuts to health care and other public services to revamping the way government operates depend on how he sees the outlook for Ontario's troubled economy over the next few years, according to Winnipeg Free Press. And in the coming years, slower growth will erode government tax revenue from consumers and businesses and make it even harder for the cash-strapped province to balance the books and when former Big Bank economist Don Drummond releases his long awaited review of Ontario government finances at a media lockup Wednesday, he will be looking over his shoulder at the 800-pound gorilla in the room. The former engine of Canada's economy still packs a wallop accounting for 40 per cent of Canada's national economy. But it is slowly losing its punch as Canadian economic growth migrates to the resource-rich western provinces. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
