OVERVIEW

Area and Population

The Province of Ontario covers an area of approximately 1,076,395 square kilometres (415,598 square miles), about 10.8% of Canada, and is about 11% as large as the United States. The estimated population of Ontario on July 1, 2015 was 13.8 million, or 38.5% of Canada’s population of 35.9 million. Since 1993, the populations of Ontario and Canada have increased at average annual rates of 1.2% and 1%, respectively. Although it constitutes only 12% of the area of the Province, southern Ontario is home to approximately 94.1% of its population (as of July 1, 2014). The population of the Greater Toronto Area, the largest metropolitan area in Canada, was estimated to be 6.6 million on July 1, 2014.

Government

Canada is a federation with a parliamentary system of government. Constitutional responsibilities are divided between the federal government, the 10 provinces and the 3 territories.

The Premier of the Province of Ontario (the “Premier”) is traditionally the leader of the political party with the greatest number of members elected to the Legislative Assembly. The Cabinet through the Lieutenant Governor, who represents the Crown, formally exercises executive power. Cabinet ministers are usually nominated from among members of the Premier’s party. The Legislative Assembly consists of 107 seats, each representing a specified territorial division of the Province, and is elected for a four-year term. A dissolution of the Legislative Assembly prior to the end of the four-year term may be requested by the Premier at the Premier’s own volition or if the government loses the confidence of the Legislative Assembly by being defeated on an important vote.

The last Provincial election was held on June 12, 2014. The Ontario Liberal Party currently has 59 seats in the Legislative Assembly, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario has 27 seats, the New Democratic Party of Ontario has 20 seats and there is 1 vacant seat. The current government of the Province is formed by the Ontario Liberal Party.

Constitutional Framework

Canada is a federation and its constitution (“Constitution”) establishes the division of responsibilities between the federal and provincial levels of government. Each provincial government and the federal government has supremacy within its respective sphere of assigned responsibilities. Jurisdiction over the establishment and operation of municipalities is granted exclusively to the provinces.

The federal government is empowered to raise money by any mode or system of taxation. It has exclusive jurisdiction over such matters as the regulation of trade and commerce, currency and coinage, banks and banking, national defence, foreign affairs, postal services, railways and navigation, as well as those areas not exclusively assigned to the provinces. Each province has authority to raise revenue through direct taxation within the province. Areas of provincial constitutional authority include health care, education, social services, municipal institutions, property and civil rights, and natural resources.

Operational Framework

Ontario administers its constitutional responsibilities through government ministries and provincially created bodies such as government-owned corporations (“Crown corporations”), agencies, boards, commissions, municipalities, school boards and hospital boards. The use of these quasi-independent bodies decentralizes the administration of provincial responsibilities. However, the Province has elected to centralize the financing of these bodies by retaining the major taxing and borrowing powers at the provincial level. Some municipalities borrow in their own names in various capital markets as did Ontario Hydro prior to its restructuring in April 1999.

Implications for Provincial Financial Statements

The provincial governments’ delivery of services in areas such as health, postsecondary education and social assistance has been supported by transfer payments from the federal government, often established through federal-provincial agreements. In fiscal year 2014-15, approximately 18.2% of the Province’s revenue came from federal transfers.

Federal-provincial funding arrangements can be complex and extensive, involving financial relationships between the Province, the federal government and provincially-created bodies. These financial interrelationships are important in understanding the revenue, expense and financing activity of the Province. Investing in provincially-created bodies has an impact on the reporting of assets. As at March 31, 2015, approximately 28.3% (2014, 26.8%) of the Financial Assets of the Province could be attributed to these intermediary activities.

 

3


Foreign Relations

The Province has no direct diplomatic relations with foreign countries, but has developed a high degree of international activity in order to facilitate investment in Ontario.

The Budget and Quarterly Reporting

The Fiscal Transparency and Accountability Act, 2004 (the FTAA) sets out guidelines for public reporting of the fiscal plan. It requires that the Ontario Minister of Finance (“Minister”) release an annual budget that outlines a multi-year fiscal plan. In addition, it requires the Minister to release a mid-year review of the fiscal plan, known as the Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review. Each year, the Minister must release interim updates in the Summer and Winter on Ontario’s revenues and expenses for the current year. Finally, the FTAA, among other things, also requires that quarterly information about Ontario’s economic accounts be released to the public.

Personal Income Tax revenue is collected by the federal government on behalf of the Province. The amount reported by the Province in 2014-15 is net of $7,068,522 in Ontario tax credits, excluding tax credits reported as expenses. The amount reported in 2013-14 includes $4,348,641 in Ontario tax credits, which includes adjustments for prior years and excludes tax credits reported as expenses.

For 2015, the Ontario Personal Income Tax rates are: 5.05% for taxable income of up to $40,922; 9.15% for taxable income over $40,922 and up to $81,847; 11.16% for taxable income over $81,847 and up to $150,000; 12.16% for taxable income over $150,000 and up to $220,000; and 13.16% for taxable income over $220,000. For 2014, the Ontario Personal Income Tax rates are: 5.05% for taxable income of up to $40,120; 9.15% for taxable income over $40,120 and up to $80,242; 11.16% for taxable income over $80,242 and up to $150,000; 12.16% for taxable income over $150,000 and up to $220,000; and 13.16% for taxable income over $220,000.

Ontario non-refundable tax credits are provided for individual and family circumstances (e.g., basic amount, spouse, medical expenses) at the rate of 5.05% (11.16% for charitable donations in excess of $200), before calculating the provincial surtax and Ontario Tax Reduction. Ontario non-refundable tax credit amounts are indexed annually.

Higher-income earners are subject to a surtax. For 2015, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario income tax in excess of $4,418, plus 36% of Ontario income tax in excess of $5,654. For 2014, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario income tax in excess of $4,331, plus 36% of Ontario income tax in excess of $5,543. For 2013, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario income tax in excess of $4,289, plus 36% of Ontario income tax in excess of $5,489.

Ontario income tax is eliminated by the Ontario Tax Reduction if Ontario tax is below a threshold amount. If Ontario tax exceeds the taxfiler’s threshold amount, the individual may be eligible to pay a reduced amount of Ontario tax. For 2015, the basic threshold amount is $228 and the additional amount for each dependent child aged 18 and under, and each disabled or infirm dependant, is $421. For 2014, the basic threshold amount is $223 and the additional amount for each dependent child aged 18 and under and each disabled or infirm dependant is $413. For 2013, the basic threshold amount is $221 and the additional amount for each dependent child aged 18 and under and each disabled or infirm dependant is $409.

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) is a federally imposed and administered value-added tax. In Ontario, the provincial portion of the HST is 8% and the federal portion is 5%, for a combined HST rate of 13%. Responsibility for the collection of the tax rests with the Federal Government. HST revenues are distributed to the Province based on a revenue allocation formula. Ontario also levies an 8% sales tax on certain types of insurance and a 13% sales tax on private transfers of specified vehicles. Both the sales tax on insurance premiums and the sales tax on private sales of specified vehicles are administered by Ontario. The Sales Tax amounts reported by the Province are net of sales tax credits of $1,691,497,735 in 2014-15 and $1,637,351,687 in 2013-14.

Corporations Tax is comprised of three types of taxes levied on corporations: income tax, insurance premiums tax and special additional tax on life insurance corporations. Details of these taxes follow.

Income Tax: The general statutory Corporate Income Tax (CIT) rate is 11.5% (reduced from 14% to 12% on July 1, 2010 and from 12% to 11.5% on July 1, 2011). Active business income from manufacturing and processing (M&P), mining, logging, fishing and farming is subject to a lower CIT rate of 10% (reduced from 12% effective July 1, 2010). Small Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) are also eligible for a lower CIT rate of 4.5% (reduced from 5.5% effective July 1, 2010) on the first $500,000 of active business income. Effective May 2, 2014, and prorated for taxation years that straddle that date, the small business CIT rate is phased out for large CCPCs, and associated groups of CCPCs, with more than $10 million (fully eliminated with more than $15 million) of taxable capital employed in Canada in the previous year. The Province also levies a Corporate Minimum Tax (CMT) that effectively acts as a pre-payment of regular CIT. CMT is calculated as the amount by which 2.7% (reduced from 4% effective July 1, 2010) of adjusted net income for accounting purposes exceeds CIT payable.

Insurance Premiums Tax: Insurance companies are subject to a 2% insurance premiums tax on life, accident and sickness insurance premiums, 3.5% on property insurance premiums and 3% on other (e.g. casualty) insurance premiums.

Special Additional Tax: Life insurance corporations pay a special additional tax at a rate of 1.25% of taxable capital in Ontario above a minimum $10 million exemption, with corporate income tax and CMT creditable against this tax.

Education property taxes are collected by municipalities and transferred to school boards for the purposes of funding education. Education property tax rates are set annually by the Minister of Finance for each class of real property. The tax is levied on the assessed value of property at a uniform rate for residential properties. For 2015, the rate is 0.195%. Rates for commercial, industrial and pipeline properties vary across the Province. These rates are regulated under the Education Act. The Education Property Tax amounts shown are net of $1,034,927,008 in property tax credits and grants in 2014-15 and $1,071,091,728 in 2013-14. The amounts also reflect a number of rebates, reductions and exemptions available across the province.

The Employer Health Tax is paid by employers on their Ontario payroll. Employers with annual Ontario payroll of $200,000 or less calculate tax payable at 0.98% of their taxable annual Ontario payroll; employers with annual Ontario payroll over $200,000 and up to $400,000 calculate tax payable at graduated rates that apply to their taxable annual Ontario payroll starting at 1.101% and rising to 1.829%; and employers with annual Ontario payroll in excess of $400,000 calculate tax payable at 1.95% of their taxable annual Ontario payroll. Prior to 2014, a tax exemption was provided for the first $400,000 of annual Ontario payroll paid by private sector employers, including their associated entities. Beginning January 1, 2014, the tax exemption was increased from $400,000 to $450,000, and was eliminated for private sector employers with annual Ontario payroll, including those of their associated entities, in excess of $5,000,000. Registered charities continue to claim the tax exemption at all payroll sizes.

Gasoline Tax is levied on gasoline, propane used in a licensed motor vehicle, and aviation fuel. The tax rate for gasoline is 14.7 cents per litre. The tax rate for propane used in licensed motor vehicles is 4.3 cents per litre. The tax rate for aviation fuel increased from 3.7 cents per litre to 4.7 cents per litre on April 1, 2015, and will increase by a further one cent per litre annually on April 1 of 2016 and 2017. The majority of tax is collected for the Province by Ministry designated gasoline, propane, and aviation fuel tax collectors and registered importers.

Land Transfer Tax is levied on the transfer of land or an interest in land. 0.5% is levied on the value of the consideration for the conveyance up to and including $55,000; 1% on the value of the consideration exceeding $55,000 up to and including $250,000; 1.5% on the value of the consideration exceeding $250,000; and, where the value of the consideration exceeds $400,000 and the property contains one or two single family residences, an additional tax of 0.5% applies on the value of the consideration exceeding $400,000. First time home buyers who purchase newly constructed homes or resale homes are eligible to receive a refund of land transfer tax of up to $2,000.

Tobacco Tax covers all forms of tobacco products. The specific tax rate per cigarette and per gram or part gram of fine cut tobacco and all other tobacco products except cigars is 13.975 cents. The rate of tax on cigars is 56.6% of the taxable price of the cigar. The majority of tax is collected for the Province by Ministry designated tobacco tax collectors and registered importers.

Fuel Tax is levied on every purchaser of clear middle distillate fuel used in internal combustion engines. The fuel tax rate is 14.3 cents per litre, unless the fuel is used in railway equipment, in which case the rate is 4.5 cents per litre. The majority of tax is collected for the Province by Ministry designated collectors and registered importers.

Beer and Wine Taxes were effective July 1, 2010. These taxes replaced certain alcohol charges and were revenue neutral for the Ontario Government. Taxes apply on every purchaser of beer from a beer manufacturer’s on-site store, The Beer Store, or a licensed establishment. Taxes are also imposed on purchasers of draft beer made by a brew pub and wine and wine coolers from a winery retail store.

Electricity payments in lieu of taxes (PILs) are currently made by Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) and municipal electricity utilities to the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (OEFC). OEFC is the Ontario Hydro successor company that is responsible for servicing and retiring the debt and certain other liabilities of the former Ontario Hydro. All PILs received by OEFC are used to service and retire its obligations. The amount of PILs replicates the amount of tax that would be payable under the Income Tax Act (Canada), Corporations Tax Act and Taxation Act, 2007 if these publicly owned corporations were not exempt from federal and provincial corporate taxes. As a result of broadening Hydro One Limited (Hydro One) ownership through an initial public offering on November 5, 2015, Hydro One ceased to be exempt from federal and provincial corporate taxes, and is no longer subject to PILs. The Minister of Finance is authorized by statute to make payments to the OEFC equal to the amount of provincial tax payable by Hydro One under the Taxation Act, 2007. OPG, Hydro One and municipal electricity utilities also make payments in lieu of additional property taxes.

The federal government remits to the province 35% of the net taxes that it collects with respect to preferred share dividends paid by corporations with operations in Ontario.

The Estate Administration Tax is payable by the estate of a deceased person on the issuance of a certificate of appointment of an estate trustee by an Ontario court. The amount of tax is equal to $5 for each $1,000, or part thereof, of the first $50,000 of the value of the estate and $15 for each $1,000, or part thereof, of the value of the estate exceeding $50,000. If the value of the estate does not exceed $1,000, the estate is exempt from this tax.

The Gross Revenue Charge (GRC) is payable to the Ministry of Finance by hydro-electric generating stations owners and water power leaseholders. Effective January 1, 2001, the existing property taxes and water rental charges paid by hydro-electric generating station owners and water power leaseholders were replaced with taxes and charges on the gross revenues of hydro-electric generating stations. The Property Tax component is included as taxation for the Province and the Water Rental component of the GRC is included under Other Revenue – Royalties.

Provincial Land Tax is levied on land in areas without municipal organization at the rates prescribed by regulation. The rate that applies depends on which property class the land is classified and whether the land is in a locality as defined by the Assessment Act.

Ontario levies a mining tax on profits in excess of $500,000 derived from Ontario mining operations (excluding diamond-mining). The tax rate applied to non-remote mines is 10%. An exemption is available for up to $10 million of profit earned in the first 3 years by a new non-remote mine or a major expansion of an existing non-remote mine. Remote mines are eligible for a reduced mining tax rate of 5%. An exemption is available for up to $10 million of profit earned in the first 10 years by a new mine opened in a remote Ontario location. Diamonds are excluded from mining tax and are subject to a royalty on the value of a diamond mine’s output. The royalty rate is the lesser of 13% and the amount calculated on the value of output according to a graduated rate scale.

The Race Tracks Tax, which is collected by the operators of race meets and remitted to the Province, is levied at the rate of 0.5% on all wagers.

The Acreage Tax is a tax levied on patented mining rights at a rate of 50 cents per acre per year with a minimum payment of $1 in organized municipalities and $4 in unorganized municipalities.

The introduction of the Ontario Health Premium (OHP) has helped to ensure the government’s ability to make much needed investments in the province’s health care system. Every penny of the OHP goes toward improving Ontario’s health services. Since 2003-04, health-related spending has increased by $20.9 billion while health-related revenues, mainly comprised of the OHP and federal transfers, have increased by $13.7 billion. In 2014-15, OHP revenue increased by $238 million to $3,366 million, up from $3,128 million in 2013-14. During the same period, expenses in the health sector increased by $1,104 million to $50,013 million, up from $48,909 million in 2013-14.

OHP revenue supports expenditures in all areas of the health sector and is not earmarked by program area. In 2014-15, OHP revenue was $3,366 million, or 6.7% of the $50,013 million in total expenses for the health sector. This compares to $3,128 million or 6.4% of $48,909 million in 2013-14. Below is a table that shows an example of how the OHP revenue supports major investments in the health care sector and also the level of support each sector would receive if the percentage shares in 2013-14 and 2014-15 were allocated proportionately across each expense area.

The Canada Health Transfer (CHT) is a federal block transfer that supports health care spending in the provinces and territories. Beginning in 2014-15, the CHT has been allocated to provinces and territories on an equal per capita basis. To receive CHT transfers, provinces and territories must comply with the principles of the Canada Health Act.

The Canada Social Transfer (CST) is a federal block transfer that supports provincial and territorial expenditures on post-secondary education, social assistance and social services, including early childhood development, and early learning and child care services. Beginning in 2007-08, the CST has been allocated to provinces and territories on an equal per capita basis. To receive CST transfers, provinces and territories cannot impose residency requirements in determining eligibility for social assistance to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, persons with a temporary resident permit, and refugee claimants waiting to receive permanent resident status.

Equalization is the federal government’s transfer program for addressing fiscal disparities among provinces. The Equalization program aims to ensure that provincial governments have sufficient revenues to provide reasonably comparable levels of public services at reasonably comparable levels of taxation. Equalization payments are unconditional – receiving provinces are free to spend the funds according to their own priorities.

The Labour Market Development Agreement (LMDA) provides for the transfer to Ontario of labour market development programs and services previously run by the federal government. LMDA funding supports Ontario’s skills and employment training programs, particularly for those who are eligible for Employment Insurance (EI) benefits. The LMDA is funded under the legislative authority of Part II of the Employment Insurance Act.

Social Housing Agreement reimbursements are the federal portion of the cost of subsidizing low-rental housing programs. The Province receives funding from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to administer social housing in Ontario.

Indian Welfare Services Agreement payments assist the Province in providing welfare services and programs to persons living on Indian reserves. The agreement supports welfare services and programs provided on reserves that are equal to those available to persons living in other communities.

On April 1, 2014, the Canada-Ontario Job Fund Agreement (JFA) replaced Canada-Ontario Labour Market Agreement (LMA). The JFA provides funding for labour market programs and services that focus on skills development for unemployed individuals who are not Employment Insurance clients and employed individuals who require further training such as those who do not have a high school diploma, or recognized certification or who have low levels of literacy and essential skills. The JFA also makes provision for the support of employer-sponsored training for certain eligible training costs provided by an eligible third-party institution.

Infrastructure funding to Ontario is provided through the Building Canada Fund, the agreement for Investment in Affordable Housing, and other agreements that support construction, renewal, improvement and expansion of the province’s physical capital, including roads, bridges, public transit and water systems.

Bilingualism Development reimbursements are the federal government’s portion of the cost of providing services in both official languages and of providing adequate educational facilities for teaching the second official language. The federal government also contributes to Ontario’s initiatives in French-language schools, such as the establishment of administrative structures in new French-language school boards, and initiatives designed to improve the achievements of French-language students.

Under the Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities (LMAPD), the federal government provides contributions to Ontario to support measures enhance the employability of persons with disabilities, and increase the employment opportunities available to persons with disabilities by addressing employer needs and encouraging employers to remove barriers faced by persons with disabilities. Additionally, the LMAPD aims to demonstrate the results to Canadians of investments made under the agreement as evidenced by enhanced employability and increased labour participation of persons with disabilities.

Legal Aid payments are the federal government’s contribution to assist in providing legal aid services to economically disadvantaged people in serious criminal matters and proceedings under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (Canada). They also help ensure that certain minimum standards of legal aid are maintained in accordance with the Agreement Respecting Legal Aid in Criminal Law, the Youth Criminal Justice Act (Canada) and immigration and refugee matters.

Youth justice transfer payment programs are ongoing, and mandated under the Youth justice transfer payment programs are ongoing, and mandated under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (Canada). The federal government cost shares a portion of the Youth Justice Services expenditures.

Growing Forward 2 is a federal-provincial initiative that encourages innovation, competitiveness and market development in Canada’s agri-food and agri-products sector. In Ontario, Growing Forward 2 offers resources, tools and cost-shared funding assistance to eligible producers, processors, organizations and collaborations to grow their profits, expand markets and manage shared risks.

Student Assistance includes Canada Study Grants and the administration of Canada Student Loans. Canada Study Grants are provided to students with dependants, high-need part-time students, students with disabilities, and women in doctoral studies.

The Immigration Holds Agreement represents reimbursement by the federal government for the cost of detaining people awaiting an immigration examination, inquiry or removal.

Canada Health Infoway’s Interoperable Electronic Health Record (iEHR) investment program supports jurisdictional projects that will build interoperable EHR systems. Federal funding to Ontario is provided under the Interoperable Electronic Health Record/Health Information Access Layer (iEHR/HIAL) Agreement. These solutions will enable authorized health care providers to view and, in some cases, update a patient’s essential health information.

The Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW) is a federal-provincial cost-shared program that helps unemployed workers aged 55 to 64. TIOW is available in communities of fewer than 250,000 people that have high unemployment or rely to a large extent on single industries. The initiative helps older workers find programs and services that increase their ability to find work, reintegrate back into employment and ensure that they remain active and productive workers while their communities undergo adjustment.

Federal government funding for the Ontario Bridge Training Program supports programs for skilled immigrants who are facing barriers to workforce integration and retention in the Ontario labour market.

Funding is received from Canada Health Infoway to support efforts to increase the number of clinicians adopting and using an electronic medical record (EMR) system.

The Canada-Ontario Labour Market Agreement (LMA) expired on March 31, 2014, and was replaced by the Canada-Ontario Job Fund Agreement (JFA). The LMA provided funding for labour market programs and services that focus on skills development for unemployed individuals who are not eligible for Employment Insurance benefits and employed individuals who do not have a high school diploma or recognized certification, or who have low levels of literacy and essential skills.

The Wait Times Reduction Fund expired on March 31, 2014. The Wait Times Reduction Fund was established at the 2004 First Ministers’ Meeting to assist provinces and territories in reducing medical wait times by investing in key activities in areas of training and hiring of health professionals, capacity building for regional centres of excellence and backlog clearance.

Other payments from the federal government included, among others:

 

  a) Transfers to Government Organizations such as Agricorp and Toronto Organizing Committee for the 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games (Toronto 2015);

 

  b) Funding to support sector-specific services covered under different agreements, such as the First Nation Policing Agreement, Biology Casework Analysis Contribution Program Agreement for DNA testing, and Supporting Families Fund agreement for family law services;

 

  c) Annual subsidies under the Constitution Act, 1907; and

 

  d) Interest on the Common School Fund.

Income from Government Enterprises represents amounts received by the Province from government business enterprises.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) conducts and manages lottery games, resort casinos, casinos, and slots on behalf of the Province of Ontario. The Province consolidates the net income from OLG’s lotteries, resort casinos, casinos and slots. The net income also includes 20% of gross gaming revenue from Caesars Windsor, Casino Niagara, Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Rama, as well as 20% of gross gaming revenue from its slots at the Great Blue Heron Charity Casino.

In 2014-15 the proceeds from OLG lotteries, casinos and slots were allocated by the Province of Ontario to the following Ministries and programs: $115 million to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for grants to charities and not-for-profit organisations, $38 million to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to support problem gambling and related programs for prevention, treatment and research, $10 million to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for direct financial support to Ontario high-performance athletes and enhanced coaching development, with the balance being applied to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for the operation of hospitals.

In 2014-15 the proceeds from OLG resort casinos were allocated by the Province of Ontario to general government priorities such as health care, education, public infrastructure, and horseracing support.

Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) profits are generated from the sale of beer, wine, coolers, and spirits.

OPG and Hydro One Inc. (now a subsidiary of Hydro One Limited) are successor companies to the former Ontario Hydro. OPG revenue is derived primarily from the sale of electricity from its generating stations. Hydro One revenue is derived primarily from the transmission and distribution of electricity. Prior to the November 5, 2015 initial public offering of shares in Hydro One Limited, the Province exchanged its shares in Hydro One Inc. for shares in Hydro One Limited. The Province’s proportional share of net income from Hydro One Limited (and previously Hydro One Inc.) and the net income from OPG are consolidated in the Province’s finances.

Sales and Rentals includes proceeds from the disposal of real property, supplies and equipment, rental of real property, leasing of Crown land and sales of goods and services provided by Provincial institutions.

Vehicle and Driver Registration fees include vehicle registration, carrier, and driver fees. Vehicle registration fees are for the authorization to operate a motor vehicle on a public road. For commercial vehicles the latest fee ranges from $185 to $4,601. The fees in 2014 for passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles weighing 3,000 kilograms or less used for personal purposes were $98 per year in Southern Ontario and $49 per year in Northern Ontario. Fees for motorcycles and mopeds were $42 and $12 per year respectively in Southern Ontario and $21 and $12 per year respectively in Northern Ontario. Driver fees consist primarily of driver license renewals.

The registrar’s fees consist of fees collected by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in estates matters as authorized under the Administration of Justice Act and the issuing, signing and filing fees for court related documents in civil matters.

Personal Property registration service fees are remittances for the registration and searches of personal property pledged as collateral to secure a loan. The fees are collected at the time of registration or search.

The modernized Drive Clean program was implemented effective January 1st 2013. Fees for the program are chargeable to the public for vehicle emissions testing, known as a “Drive Clean Emissions test.

Companies’ service fees are remittances for registration, searches and certificates pertaining to incorporations, limited partnerships and business names. The fees are collected at the time of registration or search.

Gaming-related fees collected by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario include fees for registering commercial suppliers and gaming employees of charitable gaming events, casinos, charity casinos and slot machine facilities. Also included are fees for issuing licences to conduct and manage lottery schemes such as raffles.

Effective January 1, 2001, persons who by virtue of an agreement, lease or other writing are entitled to occupy public lands are required to pay a water rental charge calculated at a rate of 9.5% on gross revenues from the annual generation from hydro-electric-generating stations.

Crown Charges – Timber royalties are remittances for the harvesting of Crown timber on Crown land or when timber rights are reserved to the Crown on patent land. Crown charges are typically charged on a per cubic metre basis related to the tree species, end products produced and harvest volume. A base price per cubic metre, adjusted annually, is established as a minimum price. The minimum price for most harvested timber during 2014-2015 was set at zero (bioproducts only), $4.38, or $0.59 per cubic metre depending on the tree species and commodity group. The $0.59 per cubic metre reflects the rate for several underutilized species and the economic volatility in the forest industry. A residual value price, based on a percentage of the difference between the cost of manufacturing and the selling price of the forest product, is also assessed. This component based on commodity market prices is adjusted monthly and varied from $0.00 to $4.90 per cubic metre.

Beginning in 2006, funds for the Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) have been collected through the stumpage system. In 2014-2015 the FRI rate was set at either $2.50 or $0.59, depending on species group and end-use, and set aside in the Forestry Futures Trust fund account for FRI expenses until a $10 million balance in the FRI account was achieved. After reaching the $10 million level, the FRI charge is set to zero, which occurred for this fiscal year in October 2014. The FRI collection results in no net effect to the forest industry with respect to stumpage charges, as the minimum price is reduced an equivalent amount to FRI charges, while FRI charges are being collected.

Teranet – Polaris Royalties – The Province completed the sale of its 50% ownership in Teranet in 2003-04. As part of this transaction, the Province agreed to suspend royalties from Teranet for a period of 13.67 years to March 31, 2017 in exchange for a lump sum payment of $205 million. The $205 million represents deferred royalties to be earned by the Province in future years and have been recognized in the Province’s accounts as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized to revenue over the life of the royalty suspension agreement. The annual amortization is $15 million throughout 2016-17.

In 2010-11 the Province negotiated an extension to the original Teranet agreement, resulting in a 50 year extension beyond the original amortization schedule. $1 billion in cash was received in 2010-11, and this amount represents deferred royalties to be amortized over a 56 year period from fiscal 2011-12 to 2066-67. The annual amortization for the extension is $18 million, for a combined total of $33 million per year for the years 2011-12 through 2016-17.

Recovery of Prior Years’ Expenditures represents monies recovered subsequent to the fiscal year- end in which the related expenditures were made. These receipts represent amounts, which, except for the timing of the recovery, would have been classified as expenditure refunds.

Reimbursements of expenditures are repayments of expenses incurred by the government under formal agreement, understanding or arrangement that the expenses will be recovered in whole or in part.

Fines and Penalties are remittances for infractions of laws, regulations and rules.

Revenues under “Power Supply Contract Recoveries” arise from the reselling of power and recovery from electricity consumers of the cost of power supply agreements of the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (OEFC), the legal continuation of the former Ontario Hydro.

The electricity Debt Retirement Charge (DRC) is paid by electricity consumers based on consumption of electricity. Prior to 2016, the DRC was payable by most electricity consumers. As of January 1, 2016, residential electricity users will be exempted from paying the DRC. Legislative amendments enacted in December 2015 provide that the DRC will cease to be payable by other consumers (commercial, industrial and other non-residential) as of April 1, 2018.

Power purchase contracts were entered into by the former Ontario Hydro with non-utility generators (NUGs) located in Ontario. As the legal continuation of Ontario Hydro, as of April 1, 1999, the OEFC is the counterparty to these contracts. The contracts provide for the purchase of power at prices that were expected to be in excess of market prices. Accordingly, a power purchase contract liability was recorded. Under legislated reforms to the electricity market, OEFC began receiving actual contract prices for power from ratepayers, effective January 1, 2005, and no longer incurs losses on these power purchase contracts. At that time, the Ministry of Finance estimated that the bulk of the liability would be eliminated over 12 years, as existing electricity contracts expire. As a result, OEFC is amortizing the bulk of the liability to revenue over that period. In addition, effective January 1, 2009, OEFC entered into a support contract with OPG whereby OPG agreed to maintain the reliability and availability of Lambton and Nanticoke coal-fired stations following implementation of a greenhouse gas emissions-reduction strategy up to the end of December 31, 2014. Under the contract, OEFC agreed to ensure OPG would recover the actual costs of operating the stations after implementing this strategy. Any costs to OEFC under this agreement were fully recovered from ratepayers. As at December 31, 2013, OEFC triggered an early termination clause in the contract to reflect the advanced closure of these plants by one year to the end of 2013. OPG was allowed to recover actual costs that could not reasonably be avoided or mitigated, during the period from the early shut down date until December 31, 2014, consistent with the original end date of the contract.

The Reduction of Power Purchase Contracts represents the effective elimination over time of the power purchase contract liability. The amount of change reflects the deduction for estimated in-year losses used to calculate the liability prior to the legislated reforms to the electricity market that effectively eliminated over time the power purchase liability.

The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) was amalgamated with the former Ontario Power Authority as of January 1, 2015. The IESO operates independently as a non-profit corporation without share capital, licensed by the Ontario Energy Board. The IESO directs the operation and maintains the reliability of the province’s power system and plans for adequate long-term electricity supply. IESO’s revenue is derived primarily from OEB-approved fees for each megawatt of electricity withdrawn from the IESO-controlled grid.

Ontario Electricity Industry

Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (OEFC), a Crown agency, is the legal continuation of Ontario Hydro and is responsible for the management of that corporation’s debt and other liabilities that were not transferred to successor companies as part of the restructuring of Ontario Hydro in 1999, including the administration of certain power purchase agreements with non-utility generators. As at March 31, 2015, OEFC had total debt of $25.3 billion (2014, $26.1 billion). $19 billion of OEFC’s debt as at March 31, 2015 (2014, $19.2 billion) is held by the Province and included in total debt and other liabilities.

Ontario Hydro’s successor companies include Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG), a generation business wholly owned by the Province, and Hydro One Inc., a transmission and distribution business. Hydro One Inc. is now a subsidiary of Hydro One Limited (“Hydro One”) and, following an initial public offering on November 5, 2015, about 84% of the common shares in Hydro One are owned by the Province. Legislation restricts the Province from owning less than 40% of the voting securities in Hydro One. Other Ontario Hydro successor companies are the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), the electricity system and market operator and the Electrical Safety Authority, which is responsible for electricity safety inspection.

Pursuant to various transfer orders (“Transfer Orders”), assets of the former Ontario Hydro were transferred to OPG, Hydro One Inc. and the IESO in exchange for debt. The Province assumed a portion of OPG’s and Hydro One Inc.’s debt in exchange for equity, in order to provide them with commercially acceptable capital structures. As of March 31, 2015, OEFC held notes receivable in the amount of $3.7 billion from OPG, $120 million from the IESO and $8.9 billion from the Province. OEFC provided indemnities, guaranteed by the Province, to OPG and Hydro One Inc. in connection with the Transfer Orders; those indemnities were terminated as of May 31, 2006 and October 31, 2015 respectively.

As of April 1, 1999, the Ministry of Finance estimated the amount of OEFC’s debt and other liabilities that, in the opinion of the Minister of Finance, could not reasonably be serviced and retired in a competitive electricity market (the “stranded debt”) to be approximately $20.9 billion. OEFC’s unfunded liability is the net deficiency of OEFC’s assets over its liabilities. The opening unfunded liability of $19.4 billion as at April 1, 1999 represented the stranded debt adjusted for $1.5 billion of additional assets transferred to OEFC. OEFC’s unfunded liability at March 31, 2015 was $8.2 billion.

As part of the restructuring of the electricity sector, a long-term plan provides for certain dedicated revenue streams to service and retire OEFC’s debt and other liabilities. These revenue streams are established under the Electricity Act, 1998 (“Electricity Act”) and include payments-in-lieu of property taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes currently paid by OPG and the municipal electricity utilities. As a result of an initial public offering on November 5, 2015, Hydro One is no longer subject to payments-in-lieu of federal and provincial corporate income taxes. The Minister of Finance has legislative authority to make payments to the OEFC equal to the amount of provincial corporate tax payable by Hydro One Inc. under the Taxation Act, 2007.

The Province, as shareholder, is eligible to receive dividend payments on its shares in OPG and Hydro One. Pursuant to the government’s commitment to keep electricity income in the electricity sector, the cumulative combined net income of OPG and Hydro One to the Province in excess of the Province’s cumulative interest expenditure on its investment in the companies is allocated to OEFC for purposes of debt retirement (“electricity sector dedicated income”).

Under the Electricity Act, a Debt Retirement Charge (DRC) of 0.7 cents per kilowatt hour is levied on most Ontario electricity users and payable to OEFC. Prior to 2016, the DRC was payable by most electricity consumers. As of January 1, 2016, residential electricity users will be exempted from paying the DRC. Legislative amendments enacted in December 2015 provide that the DRC will cease to be payable by all consumers as of April 1, 2018.

The Electricity Act and the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 set out the legislative framework for Ontario’s electricity market and restructuring of Ontario Hydro. Open, non-discriminatory access to transmission and distribution systems commenced May 1, 2002. Since 2005, electricity prices payable by consumers reflect a blend of contract prices, regulated prices for OPG’s output from its price-regulated nuclear and hydroelectric plants, and market prices. Regulated prices for OPG are approved by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). The OEB also sets the commodity price payable by low volume and certain other specified consumers under the Regulated Price Plan (RPP). The IESO finances any differences between prices under the RPP and the actual supply cost of electricity, with any shortfall or surplus to be recovered or returned through the setting of RPP prices in the following period.

The Province, OPG and certain subsidiaries of OPG are parties to the Ontario Nuclear Funds Agreement (ONFA), which governs the establishment, funding and management of segregated funds to ensure sufficient funds are available to pay the costs of nuclear station decommissioning, low and intermediate level nuclear waste management and nuclear used fuel waste management.

Under ONFA, the Province is liable to make payments should the cost estimate for nuclear used fuel waste management rise above specified thresholds, for a fixed volume of used fuel. The likelihood and amount by which the cost estimate could rise above these thresholds cannot be determined at this time. The cost estimate will be updated periodically to reflect new developments in the management of nuclear used fuel waste.

As well, under ONFA, the Province guarantees a return of 3.25% over the Ontario Consumer Price Index for the portion of the nuclear used fuel waste management segregated fund related to the fixed volume of used fuel. If the earnings on assets in that fund related to the fixed volume exceed the guaranteed rate, the Province is entitled to the excess.

Two agreements are in place to satisfy the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) licensing requirements for financial guarantees in respect of OPG’s nuclear station decommissioning and nuclear waste management obligations. One agreement gives the CNSC access (in prescribed circumstances) to the segregated funds established under ONFA. The other agreement between the Province and the CNSC provides a direct provincial guarantee to the CNSC on behalf of OPG. This guarantee, for up to $1.551 billion, effective January 1, 2013, relates to the portion of the decommissioning and waste management obligations not funded by the estimated value of ONFA funds as at January 1, 2013. In return, the Province receives from OPG an annual fee equal to 0.5% of the value of the guarantee. The current provincial guarantee is in effect through the end of 2017.
