ONTARIO'S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

[BAR CHART COMPARING REAL GDP GROWTH BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT'S
 FIGURES FROM THE 2005 BUDGET DOCUMENTS AND PRIVATE SECTOR FORECASTS
 FROM MAY OF 2005 AND JANUARY OF 2006.]

Over the first three quarters of 2005, the
Ontario economy was remarkably resilient in
the face of adverse factors such as higher oil
prices and the appreciation of the Canadian
dollar.

The Ministry of Finance raised its real GDP
growth assumption from 2.0 per cent in the
2005 Budget to 2.2 per cent in the 2005
Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.

The average private-sector forecast for
Ontario economic growth is currently 2.5 per
cent in 2005, up from 2.3 per cent at the time
of the Budget.

Private-sector forecasts for 2006 and beyond
have weakened since the 2005 Budget,
primarily due to higher oil prices and the stronger Canadian dollar (from 2.9 per cent to 2.5 per cent for 2006,
from 3.7 per cent to 3.0 per cent for 2007, and from 3.7 per cent to 3.3 per cent for 2008).




ONTARIO'S FISCAL OUTLOOK

[GRAPH SHOWING ONTARIO'S FISCAL BALANCE ELIMINATING THE DEFICIT FROM
 2003-2004 THROUGH TO PROJECTIONS FOR 2008-2009.]

The government's medium-term fiscal plan,
as outlined in the 2005 Budget, is to eliminate
the deficit no later than 2008-09.  A balanced
budget will be achieved one year earlier, if
the reserve is not required in 2007-08.

The 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal
Review reported that the fiscal outlook for
2005-06 is expected to improve from the
2005 Budget deficit projection of $2.8 billion.
The 2005-06 deficit projection is unchanged
from the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal
Review, and is currently forecast at $2.4
billion, or $1.4 billion if the reserve is not
required by year-end.

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




FISCAL PERFORMANCE

REVENUE AT $82.1 BILLION
•  The 2005-06 revenue outlook at $82,132 million is up a net $445 million from that presented in the 2005
   Budget Plan and is unchanged from the outlook included in the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal
   Review. The increase from the 2005 Budget is mainly due to higher revenues from processing 2004
   Personal Income Tax and Corporations Tax returns.
•  The 2005-06 outlook maintains the prudent approach adopted in the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal
   Review.  While economic growth in calendar-year 2005 is stronger than projected in the 2005 Budget and
   could boost 2005-06 revenues, risks to the outlook remain.  Recent economic forecasts indicate slower
   growth in calendar-year 2006, which could lower revenues in the last quarter of fiscal-year 2005-06.  In
   addition, further revenue information will arrive later in fiscal-year 2005-06, notably the finalization of
   2004 tax return processing and 2005 Corporations Tax instalment payments.  Given these risks and
   uncertainties, the revenue outlook is unchanged from the previous quarter.

EXPENSE AT $83.5 BILLION
•  The 2005-06 total expense outlook, at $83,501 million, is up a net $18 million from the 2005 Budget Plan
   and is unchanged from the outlook included in the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.  The
   increase from the 2005 Budget, as outlined in the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, is mainly
   due to an in-year increase of $221 million related to obligations for retirement benefits, $28 million for the
   Forest Sector Strategy, and interest on debt savings of $225 million.

OPERATING EXPENSE
•  The 2005-06 total operating expense outlook, at $80,795 million, is down a net $15 million from the 2005
   Budget Plan and down a net $33 million this quarter.
•  The 2005-06 total program expense outlook, at $71,224 million, is up a net $210 million from the 2005
   Budget Plan and down a net $33 million from the outlook in the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal
   Review.  Ministry program expense changes in the third quarter, and the corresponding offsets, include:
   •   Ministry of the Attorney General: An additional $2 million for the expansion of the Guns and Gangs Task
       Force, fully offset from the Contingency Fund.
   •   Ministry of Children and Youth Services: A net increase of $2 million, due to an increase this quarter of
       $35 million for Children's Aid Societies to address higher-than-planned caseloads, offset from the
       Contingency Fund; and a decrease of $33 million due to the realignment of funding from operating to
       capital to support the expansion of licenced child care spaces, as part of the Province's Best Start Plan.
       The Best Start initiative is supported by federal Early Learning and Child Care funding.
   •   Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration: An additional $6 million, mainly to enhance the Ministry's
       capacity to provide support for newcomers and to implement the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement
       signed on November 21, 2005, both fully offset from the Contingency Fund.
   •   Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services: An additional $5 million to support the
       Toronto Police Service's offensive against guns and gangs, fully offset from the Contingency Fund.
•  The 2005-06 Interest on Debt expense forecast, at $9,571 million, is down $225 million from the 2005 Budget
   Plan and is unchanged from the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.

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




CAPITAL EXPENSE
•  The 2005-06 capital expense outlook, at $2,706 million, is up a net $33 million from the 2005 Budget Plan
   and the outlook included in the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review. Ministry capital expense
   changes in the third quarter include:
   •   Ministry of Children and Youth Services: An additional $33 million due to the realignment of funding
       from operating to capital to support the expansion of licenced child care spaces, as part of the Province's
       Best Start Plan.

RESERVE AT $1.0 BILLION
•  The current 2005-06 fiscal outlook includes a $1.0 billion reserve, unchanged from the 2005 Budget and
   the 2005 Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review. The reserve is included to protect against unexpected and
   adverse changes in the economic and fiscal outlook. If the reserve is not required this year, the deficit is
   projected to be $1.4 billion.

*    Third-quarter fiscal forecast as at December 31, 2005.
**   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.
+    Net debt is calculated as the difference between  liabilities and financial
     assets. The annual change in Net Debt is equal to the Surplus/Deficit  plus
     the change in tangible capital assets. Accumulated Deficit is calculated as
     the  difference  between  liabilities  and financial  and tangible  capital
     assets.  The  annual  change  in the  Accumulated  Deficit  is equal to the
     Surplus/Deficit.

ONTARIO'S 2005-06 FINANCING PROGRAM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


•  The $435 million increase in Debt Redemptions is a result of higher redemptions of Ontario Savings Bonds
   (OSBs) in December 2005.

•  The amount of $218 million of Canada Pension Plan (CPP) borrowing was used to finance the early
   retirement of less cost-effective debt. This $218 million is unavailable to reduce the Total Long-Term Public
   Borrowing Requirement.

•  The increase in Other Uses/(Sources) of Cash is mainly attributable to projected short-term loans to the
   Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to bridge the timing of their cash flow requirements. This amount is being
   financed through short-term borrowing.
