Premier Doug Ford, along with General Sylvia Jones, his health and finance ministers, and Ontario’s minister for seniors and accessibility, will make an announcement in Toronto this afternoon.
The announcement comes just one day before the Ford government releases its budget for 2021. The province announced on Monday that it will set aside $1.2 billion to assist Ontario hospitals in dealing with financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our government’s second pandemic budget will focus on protecting people’s health, and supporting people and job creators who are continuing to struggle during these tough times,” Peter Bethlenfalvy, said Ontario’s finance minister and president of the treasury board on Monday.
