Class of February 9 – Budget Simulation Briefing Scenario: The Ontario Ministry of Finance is anticipating that, given current policies and economic forecasts, Ontario’s deficit will be $25 billion in and $21 billion in In preparing its spring 2010 budget and anticipating the October 2011 election, the McGuinty Government would like to show progress towards a balanced budget without drastically cutting public services. Therefore, a privatization secretariat has been established to make recommendations to Cabinet regarding possible privatization of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. Recommendations should include a forecast of revenues received in the fiscal year from privatization as well as revenue lost in subsequent fiscal years. The privatization secretariat should discuss market structure (as both entities are currently government-created monopolies) and public policy issues, such as regulation of addictive behaviour by both adults and adolescents.

Budget Simulation Government departments will be asked to produce a total of $3 billion in savings in fiscal through program cuts or user fees. This represents approximately 5 % of base spending, excluding one- time stimulus programs and interest on public debt. Government departments are to propose cuts in their own programs or user fees for their services to contribute to this total.
