Ontario reports much smaller budget deficit of $1.1-billion, despite tariff uncertainty

The final numbers in the province’s public accounts for 2024-25, released on Friday, show that the province’s revenue from taxes and other sources came in much higher than it had projected in its March 2024 budget, up by 8.6 per cent.
