2023–24 Strategic Plan
The government’s broader strategic plan will ensure that the province remains resilient during these times of economic uncertainty and continue to build a strong Ontario by ensuring that the province’s growing communities have the required infrastructure, making considerable progress on the path to balancing the Budget, delivering better services, keeping costs down, and supporting families, workers, and businesses. This will be accomplished through:
- accelerating and improving the construction of highways, transit, and community infrastructure projects that will sustain a strong and growing economy
- planning prudently and focusing investments to balance the Budget in 2024–25, three years earlier than expected in the last Budget
- strengthening Ontario’s competitiveness by unlocking key mineral resources, rebuilding the manufacturing sector, attracting new investments in batteries, electronics, electric vehicles (EVs) and clean energy technology, and supporting businesses
- increasing opportunities and resources for job seekers, newcomers, and students to address the labour shortage and fill targeted labour market gaps across the province, particularly in the skilled trades and other in‐demand essential industries
- improving the quality, convenience, accessibility, and affordability of public services to better respond to community needs, ensure the safety of all communities, support students and families, and expand and enhance the healthcare system
- helping Ontario’s most vulnerable by keeping costs down and continuing to reduce red tape to put money back into the pockets of the people of Ontario
