"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 2, 2000 - 19 Look for further tax cuts in provincial budget, says O'Toole | By Chris Hall Port Perry Star Provincial finance min- ister Ernie Eves is expect- ed to bring forth Ontario's first balanced budget in almost 30 years today, a package expected to There will be no boost in spending on education, said the MPP. "The envelope for edu- cation is going to be approximately the same," he said, noting there will be a | or 2 per cent increase to meet growing student numbers. "Spending more money on education is not the solution, spending more on the student is," said Mr. O'Toole. "There is suffi- cient money in education; it just 'has to be spent wisely." The budget is also expected to include addi- tional funding for public transit infrastructure and agriculture. Mr. O'Toole called the budget a continuation of the Tories' promise to put the province's finances in order. "We've done what we promised, which is bring forth a balanced budget," he said. "The temptation is always to fix your prob- lems by writing a cheque... everyone wants money for something and if we're going to have a balanced budget we can't get the cheque book out all the time." include tax cuts, but not much more for education. "The most important thing about this is that it's a balanced budget," said Durham MPP John O'Toole. "A small surplus is expected and there will be another piece of the (per- sonal) tax reductions included. We plan on doing some things that the federal government wouldn't touch in their budget; we don't want to stray from the important things," he said. The minister is expect- ed to announce plans to attack the province's debt, which has grown as the Tories have pursued their agenda of tax reduction. Dependability Defined.
