The Ontario Budget is set to come down Thursday afternoon. On Wednesday, the Finance Minister gave audiences a preview of what to expect.

As promised, the Province will help craft brewers by breaking up the monopoly held by the beer store and allow beer to be sold in some 300 grocery stores.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa re-enforced what Ontarians already know. Thursday’s budget reading will change the way beer is sold in the province.

Finance Minister says that they will remain on plan to eliminate the deficit by 2017-2018

Questions still raised about infrastructure spending, specifically transportation infrastructure.

A day after 1.6 billion dollars in funding was announced for the Mississauga LRT, Premier Kathleen Wynne confirmed that the Union to Pearson express will be ready by June 6th.

This is part of the 10 year, $130 billion dollar infrastructure plan. Hamilton has been waiting for an 800 million dollar commitment for LRT

Conservative Finance Critic Vic Fideli says that the Government is using beer and transit to distract taxpayers from real problems and that selling part of Hydro One in order to help balance the books will hurt in the long run.
