Ontario's premier has repeatedly pushed back in recent weeks against criticism that his government is not providing the province's hospital system with enough funding to address problems like hallway health care. That comes as the association that represents Ontario's hospitals is warning that funding uncertainty is causing critical financial strain.

The minister said he intends to hit that target even though the economy is feeling the effects of the U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. You know, while people have been desensitized to debts and deficits, I think they still really matter, Bethlenfalvy said. And we have an obligation not just to think about, as (former prime minister) Brian Muloney said, the next 10 days, but think about the next 10 years.

You have two options in a budget. You can start cutting and slashing, which I've never believed in. You have to put money into the economy to keep things going.
