-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ONTARIO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

[Bar chart showing 2005 budget and average private-sector forecast.]

Ontario's economic growth is expected to be
moderate in 2005, with real GDP rising by 2.0
per cent, after an increase of 2.8 per cent in
2004.  The slower rate of economic growth
reflects the appreciation of the Canadian
dollar, continuing high oil prices and an
easing in the pace of growth in the U.S.
economy.

The average recent private-sector forecast for
Ontario economic growth is 2.4 per cent in
2005, up from 2.3 per cent at the time of the
Budget.






ONTARIO FISCAL OUTLOOK

[Line graph showing medium-term deficit reduction plan.]

The creation of Ontario's structural deficit
started in 2000-01, when program spending
growth began to outpace growth in taxation
revenue.  Between 2000-01 and 2003-04,
spending on Provincial programs grew by 21
per cent while Provincial taxation revenue,
which provides the bulk and most stable
source of Provincial revenue, actually
declined by 0.7 per cent.

The government's medium-term fiscal plan
aims to reduce the Provincial deficit from the
$5.5 billion recorded in 2003-04 and $3.0
billion in 2004-05 by setting steadily
declining deficit targets of $2.8 billion in
2005-06, $2.4 billion in 2006-07, $1.5 billion
in 2007-08, and achieving a balanced budget
no later than 2008-09.  A balanced budget will
be achieved one year earlier, if the reserve is not required in 2007-08.

The government is on track to achieve the deficit target of $2.8 billion in 2005-06.  The medium-term fiscal
plan also includes reserves to protect against unexpected and adverse changes in the economic and fiscal
outlook.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





ONTARIO REAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) GROWTH CONTINUES
•  Ontario's real GDP grew by 0.5 per cent in the first calendar quarter of 2005.  Growth was supported by
   household and business spending and by a modest improvement in Ontario's net trade position.  A slower pace
   of inventory accumulation was the main source of weakness for the economy.
SOLID JOB CREATION IN 2005
•  Over the first six months of 2005, Ontario has gained 76,300 jobs compared to the same period last year, a 1.2
   per cent increase.  In June, Ontario gained 6,900 net new jobs, the fifth consecutive monthly job gain.  The June
   unemployment rate was 6.7 per cent.
•  Ontario employment increased by 1.7 per cent or 108,000 new jobs in 2004, while the unemployment rate for
   the year fell to 6.8 per cent from 7.0 per cent in 2003.
RETAIL SALES GROWING
•  Over the first five months of 2005, Ontario retail sales were 4.3 per cent higher than the same period in 2004.
INFLATION REMAINS MODERATE
•  The Ontario CPI inflation rate rose to 1.9 per cent (year-to-year) in June from 1.5 per cent in May.  In 2004,
   the Ontario CPI Inflation rate was 1.9 per cent, down from 2.7 per cent in 2003 and the lowest rate since 1999.
ACTIVITY IN HOUSING MARKET MODERATES
•  Over the first six months of 2005, Ontario housing starts were 4.1 per cent lower than during the same period
   last year.
•  Over the first five months of 2005, Ontario home resales were 4.5 per cent lower than the record-setting pace
   of 2004.  Average prices for a resale home were up 7.0 per cent in May from a year ago.
NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS STRONGER
•  Over the first five months of 2005, the value of Ontario building permits issued for commercial, industrial and
   institutional construction was 19.9 per cent higher than the same period a year ago.  A total of $3.2 billion in
   construction permits has been issued over this period.
MANUFACTURING SHIPMENTS GROW / INTERNATIONAL EXPORTS WEAKER IN 2005
•  Over the first five months of 2005, Ontario shipments were 2.3 per cent higher than the same period in 2004.
•  So far this year, Ontario international exports were down 0.7 per cent from the first five months of last year,
   while imports were up 4.1 per cent.

+  Starting in 2002-03, major tangible capital assets owned by Provincial ministries (land, buildings and transportation infrastructure) are
   accounted for on a full accrual accounting basis. Other tangible capital assets owned by Provincial ministries will continue to be
   accounted for as expense in the year of acquisition or construction. All capital assets owned by consolidated government organizations
   are accounted for on a full accrual basis.
*  First-quarter fiscal forecast as at June 30, 2005.
**   Ministries' contributions for investments in Provincially owned land and buildings are recorded as an expense by the contributing
     ministries. Starting in 2002-03 any resulting adjustment to expense from the capitalization and amortization of most of these Provincially
     owned land and buildings is recorded in Management Board Secretariat.
Note:   Does not reflect government restructuring of ministries as announced on June 29, 2005.  Work is currently underway to implement
        the new government structure and will be reflected in future fiscal updates.

•  The current outlook for the Total Long-Term Public Borrowing Requirement is unchanged from the Budget
   Plan. In-year changes to the components of the Total Long-Term Public Borrowing Requirement are:
   •   An increase in Other Uses/(Sources) of Cash, which is mainly attributable to projected short-term loans to
       the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), to bridge the timing of their cash flow requirements.
   •   Use of $55 million of Canada Pension Plan (CPP) borrowing to finance early retirement of less cost-
       effective debt. This $55 million is unavailable to reduce the Long-Term Public Borrowing Requirement.
   •   These items are offset by an equivalent reduction in Cash and Cash Equivalents.
