Ontario's economic priorities – Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy

Joining us on today’s show is a special guest, Peter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario Finance Minister. When investors talk about Canada’s economy, productivity tops the chart in terms of conversations. But the nuance that doesn’t get highlighted enough is that ours is an economy of economies, with provinces and territories. Ontario is the largest economy, accounting for nearly 40% of our GDP - how is the productivity picture there? Today, Minister Bethlenfalvy, who is also MPP for Pickering-Uxbridge, will speak to host Pamela Ritchie about our economic future in both Ontario and Canada as whole. We’ll also hear about the path to balance Ontario’s budget, auto manufacturing, mining, green bonds, and financial literacy in school curriculums.
