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, 2019 was 14.6 million, or 38.8% of Canada’s population of 37.6 million. Since 1999, the populations of Ontario and Canada have increased at average annual rates of 1.2% and 1.1%, respectively. Although it constitutes only 12% of the area of the Province, southern Ontario is home to approximately 94.4% of its population (as of July 1, 2018). The population of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada, was estimated to be 6.8 million on July 1, 2018.

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 124 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 7, 2018. The Progressive Conservative Party currently has 73 seats in the Legislative Assembly, the New Democratic Party of Ontario has 40 seats, the Ontario Liberal Party of Ontario has 5 seats, the Green Party of Ontario has 1 seat and there are 3 Independent seats. The current government of the Province is formed by the Progressive Conservative 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 2018-19, approximately 16.3% 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 organizations. These financial interrelationships are important in understanding the revenue, expense and financing activity of the Province. The performance of organizations controlled by the Province, such as Government Business Enterprises (GBES), hospitals, school boards and colleges, has a direct impact on the Province’s financial results. For example, as at March 31, 2019, approximately 25.4% (2018, 27.0%) of the Financial Assets of the Province could be attributed to GBES.

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.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement

On November 30, 2018, Canada, the United States and Mexico signed the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and on December 10, 2019 Canada, the United States and Mexico agreed to update certain elements of the new North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to improve the final outcome and clear the path toward ratification and implementation of the CUSMA. The new agreement preserves the core aspects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), including tariff-free trade, an independent trade tribunal, temporary entry provisions and the cultural exemption.

The impact of CUSMA on the Province’s trade and economy remains uncertain but concerns persist about many of the concessions that were made in the agreement. Specifically, CUSMA will require that Canada extend the period of market protection that it currently provides for biologic drugs from 8 years to 10 years, increasing costs for Ontario public and private drug plans, health care providers, and patients.

Additionally, the federal government expanded market access to Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg sectors, eliminated milk Class 6/7 from the milk pricing structure under Canada’s dairy supply management system, introduced export constraints for certain dairy products and added additional dairy reporting requirements, all of which could negatively impact the Province’s agricultural industries.

Brexit

The United Kingdom has committed to leaving the European Union by January 31, 2020 in an arrangement called Brexit. The economic impact of Brexit on the United Kingdom, Europe and the broader global economy is uncertain and will depend, in part, on how the final negotiations proceed. The event of a “no-deal Brexit” will likely have a significant negative impact on the United Kingdom economy.

The direct trade exposure of Ontario to the United Kingdom is relatively small, which should limit the direct impact of Brexit on the Ontario economy. However, Brexit may negatively impact global financial markets, which could impact Ontario and other parts of the world. Global financial institutions have taken steps to prepare for, and mitigate, the impact of Brexit on financial markets.

The Budget and Quarterly Reporting

The Fiscal Sustainability, Transparency and Accountability Act, 2019 (the FSTAA) 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 fiscal year, the Minister must release interim updates in the Summer and Winter on Ontario’s revenues and expenses for the current year. Finally, the FSTAA, 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 2018-19 is net of $1,403,183 in Ontario tax credits, excluding tax credits reported as expenses.

For 2020, the Ontario Personal Income Tax rates are: 5.05% for taxable income of up to $44,740; 9.15% for taxable income over $44,740 and up to $89,482; 11.16% for taxable income over $89,482 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 2019, the Ontario Personal Income Tax rates are: 5.05% for taxable income of up to $43,906; 9.15% for taxable income over $43,906 and up to $87,813; 11.16% for taxable income over $87,813 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 2018, the Ontario Personal Income Tax rates are: 5.05% for taxable income of up to $42,960; 9.15% for taxable income over $42,960 and up to $85,923; 11.16% for taxable income over $85,923 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. Many Ontario non-refundable tax credit amounts are indexed annually. The Ontario Dividend Tax Credits are calculated after the provincial surtax and before the Ontario Tax Reduction. In 2020, these credits are provided at a rate of 10% for eligible dividends and at a rate of 2.9863% for non-eligible dividends. In 2019 and 2018, these credits are provided at a rate of 10% for eligible dividends and at a rate of 3.2863% for non-eligible dividends.

Those who owe a higher amount of Ontario personal income tax are subject to a surtax. For 2020, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario income tax in excess of $4,830, plus 36% of Ontario income tax in excess of $6,182. For 2019, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario income tax in excess of $4,740, plus 36% of Ontario income tax in excess of $6,067. For 2018, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario income tax in excess of $4,638, plus 36% of Ontario income tax in excess of $5,936.

If a taxfiler’s Ontario tax exceeds their threshold amount, the Ontario Tax Reduction may reduce their Ontario tax. For 2020, the basic threshold amount is $249 and the additional amount for each dependent child age 18 and under, and each disabled or infirm dependant, is $460. For 2019, the basic threshold amount is $244 and the additional amount for each dependent child age 18 and under, and each disabled or infirm dependant, is $452. For 2018, the basic threshold amount is $239 and the additional amount for each dependent child age 18 and under, and each disabled or infirm dependant, is $442.

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) is a single value-added tax based on the federal Goods and Services Tax. The provincial portion of the HST is 8% and the federal portion is 5%, for a combined HST rate of 13%. The federal government is responsible for the collection and administration of the tax, with HST revenues distributed to the Province based on a revenue allocation formula. Ontario also maintains a Retail Sales Tax of 8% on certain insurance premiums and 13% on private transfers of specified vehicles, which is collected and administered by the Province. Sales Tax amounts also include spirits taxes which apply on purchases where the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is not the retailer or wholesaler of the product. Purchases of spirits and spirits coolers from a spirits manufacturer’s on-site store are subject to spirits taxes. The Sales Tax amounts reported by the Province are net of sales tax credits of $1,863,144,251 in 2018-19 and $1,811,035,675 in 2017-18.

Corporations Tax is comprised of three types of taxes levied on corporations: income tax, insurance premium 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%. Active business income from manufacturing and processing, mining, logging, fishing and farming is subject to a lower CIT rate of 10%. Small Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) are also eligible for a lower CIT rate of 3.5% on the first $500,000 of active business income (the small business CIT rate was reduced from 4.5% to 3.5%, effective January 1, 2018, and is prorated for taxation years that straddle this date). The small business CIT rate is phased out for large CCPCs, and associated groups of CCPCs, that have more than $10 million (fully eliminated if more than $15 million) of taxable capital employed in Canada in the previous year. The Province also levies a Corporate Minimum Tax (CMT), which is effectively a pre-payment of regular CIT. CMT is calculated as the amount by which 2.7% of a corporation’s adjusted net income for accounting purposes exceeds CIT payable.

Insurance Premium Tax: Insurance companies are subject to a 2% insurance premium 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 employed in Ontario that exceeds a minimum capital allowance of $10 million, with corporate income tax and CMT creditable against this tax.

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% through 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. A tax exemption is provided for the first $490,000 of annual Ontario payroll paid by private sector employers, including their associated entities. The exemption is adjusted for inflation every five years using the Ontario Consumer Price Index. The next adjustment is scheduled to occur in 2024. Employers with annual Ontario payroll in excess of $5,000,000 are generally not eligible for the exemption.

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 of 0.161% for residential properties, in 2019. Rates for commercial, industrial, pipeline and landfill properties vary across the province. These rates are regulated under the Education Act. The Education Property Tax amounts shown are net of $1,120,555,598 in property tax credits and grants in 2018-19 and $1,096,093,587 in 2017-18. The amounts also reflect a number of rebates, reductions and exemptions available across the province.

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. In 2018-19, OHP revenue increased by $147 million to $3,819 million, up from $3,672 million in 2017-18. During the same period, expenses in the health sector increased by $2,590 million to $61,511 million, up from $59,066 million in 2017-18.

Ontario Health Premium revenue supports expenditures in all areas of the health sector and is not earmarked by program area. In 2018-19, revenue from the health premium was $3,819 million, or 6.2 per cent of the $61,511 million in total expenses for the health sector. This compares to $3,672 million or 6.2 per cent of $58,921 million in 2017-18. Below is a table that shows an example of how the health premium revenue supports major investments in the health care sector and also the level of support each sector would receive if the percentage shares in 2017-18 and 2018-19 were allocated proportionately across each expense area.

An individual’s Ontario Health Premium liability is: $0 for taxable income of up to $20,000; 6% of taxable income over $20,000 for taxable income over $20,000 up to $25,000; $300 for taxable income over $25,000 up to $36,000; $300 plus 6% of taxable income over $36,000 for taxable income over $36,000 up to $38,500; $450 for taxable income over $38,500 up to $48,000; $450 plus 25% of taxable income over $48,000 for taxable income over $48,000 up to $48,600; $600 for taxable income over $48,600 up to $72,000; $600 plus 25% of taxable income over $72,000 for taxable income over $72,000 up to $72,600; $750 for taxable income over $72,600 up to $200,000; $750 plus 25% of taxable income over $200,000 for taxable income over $200,000 up to $200,600; and $900 for taxable income over $200,600.

Land Transfer Tax is collected on the transfer of land and is payable on the value of the consideration, which is generally the purchase price. Land Transfer Tax rates are 0.5% on the amount up to and including $55,000; 1% on the amount over $55,000, up to and including $250,000; 1.5% on the amount over $250,000, up to and including $400,000; and 2% on the amount over $400,000. For land with one or two single family residences, the tax rate on the amount over $2,000,000 is 2.5%. Eligible first-time homebuyers may receive a refund of Land Transfer Tax up to a maximum amount of $4,000. Effective April 21, 2017, an additional 15% Non-Resident Speculation Tax applies to the purchase or acquisition of an interest in certain residential property located in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region by individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada, or by foreign corporations (foreign entities) and taxable trustees. Non-Resident Speculation Tax exemptions and rebates may be available if taxpayers meet specific eligibility requirements.

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 is 6.7 cents per litre. Gasoline tax is pre-collected by registered collectors and importers.

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 increased from 16.475 cents to 18.475 cents on March 29, 2018. 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 and cigar wholesalers.

Fuel Tax is levied on clear middle distillate petroleum fuels, such as those used in diesel-powered vehicles. 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. Fuel Tax is pre-collected by registered collectors and importers.

Beer and Wine Taxes apply on purchases where the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is not the retailer or wholesaler of the alcohol product. Beer taxes apply on purchases of beer from a beer manufacturer’s on-site store, brew pub, the Beer Store, or a licensed establishment. Wine taxes apply on purchases of wine and wine coolers from on and off-site winery retail stores.

Municipal electricity utilities, Ontario Power Generation Inc. and its subsidiaries that are exempt from regular corporate income taxes are liable to make payments in lieu of federal and provincial corporate tax (PILs) to the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (OEFC). PILs are equal to regular federal and Ontario corporate income taxes that are levied under the Income Tax Act (Canada), Corporations Tax Act and Taxation Act, 2007 on entities that are not tax exempt.

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. As a result of an initial public offering of Hydro One common shares in 2015, Hydro One ceased to be exempt from federal and provincial corporate income taxes and is no longer subject to the PILs regime. The Minister of Finance is required by statute to make payments to the OEFC equal to the amount of provincial tax payable by Hydro One Inc. under the Taxation Act, 2007.

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. In 2020, the amount of tax is equal to $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 $50,000, the estate is exempt from this tax. In 2018 and 2019, 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 Cannabis Excise Duty is imposed by the federal government on cannabis products, payable by the federal licensee that packages the cannabis products (typically the producer) or, in the case of imports, payable by the importer, owner or other person liable under the Customs Act (Canada). The federal government is responsible for the collection and administration of the tax. For dried cannabis flower, the excise duty rate is the greater of $1/gram or 10% of the federal licensee’s selling price for the packaged product when delivered to a purchaser (different rates apply for different product types). Ontario receives 75% of the excise duty collected on cannabis products intended for sale in Ontario, plus an additional sales tax adjustment of 3.9% on the federal licensee’s selling price.

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 delivered by the federal government. The LMDA is funded under the legislative authority of Part II of the Employment Insurance Act. LMDA funding supports Ontario’s skills and employment training programs, particularly for those who are eligible as Employment Insurance (EI) clients under the EI Act.

Infrastructure funding to Ontario is provided through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, agreement for the Investment in Affordable Housing, Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund, Building Canada Fund, Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, Public Transit Infrastructure Fund and other federal provincial infrastructure programs. These agreements support the construction, renewal, improvement and expansion of the Province’s physical capital, including roads, bridges, public transit, affordable housing and water systems.

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.

Direct Transfers to Hospitals, School Boards and Colleges (BPS Organizations) represent various federal government funding to BPS Organizations for research, long term and complex hospital care for veterans, enhanced community care for Northern Ontario, Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC), Employment Assistance, and post-secondary education programs.

Targeted federal funding for access to home and community care and mental health and addictions services is provided to Ontario, beginning in 2017-18, over a 10-year period. This funding is guided by a Common Statement of Principles on Shared Health Priorities that all provinces and territories agreed on.

The Workforce Development Agreement (WDA) provides funds for training and skills development for Ontarians, including those in need of essential skills development, programming for people with disabilities, youth, newcomers and adult learners.

The Memorandum of Agreement Respecting Welfare Programs for Indians (Indian Welfare Services Agreement, 1965) is a bilateral (Ontario-Canada) cost-sharing agreement under which Canada reimburses Ontario for a portion of expenditures incurred providing eligible social services to status First Nation individuals living on reserve (and off reserve for up to 12 months). The Agreement recognizes a shared Ontario-Canada commitment to make available to status First Nation individuals living on reserve, and to those who have moved off reserve for up to one year, eligible social services programs available to the population of the province not living on reserve. As a bilateral agreement between Canada and Ontario, First Nations are not signatories to the Agreement. The Agreement outlines a formula to determine Canada’s financial contribution for services in the four program areas, outlined in the Agreement, that are provided and funded by Ontario: child protection and child welfare prevention, child care, financial/employment assistance (Ontario Works) and homemakers and nurses services.

Through the Canada-Ontario Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, the federal government provides contributions to Ontario to further improve Ontario’s early learning and child care system.

Bilingualism Development reimbursements are the federal government’s portion of the costs 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.

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. 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 and immigration and refugee matters.

Youth justice programs are ongoing and mandated under the federal Youth Criminal Justice Act. Programs are delivered by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services and/or Transfer Payment Partners. As the administration of justice is a joint responsibility between the federal government and the provinces and territories, a portion of the Ontario expenditures are submitted for funding support through a Contribution Agreement with federal Department of Justice on an annual basis.

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) is a five-year federal-provincial-territorial commitment to support Ontario’s agri-food and agri-products sectors that focuses on the key priority areas of economic development, environmental stewardship, and protection and assurance. CAP came into effect on April 1, 2018 and replaced Growing Forward 2.

Student Assistance includes the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Students with Permanent Disabilities and the administration of Canada Student Loans Program.

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

Under the Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities (LMAPD), the federal government provided contributions to Ontario to support measures to enhance the employability of persons with disabilities and increase the employment opportunities available to them by addressing employer needs and encouraging employers to remove barriers faced by persons with disabilities. Funding under the LMAPD was consolidated into the Workforce Development Agreement in 2017-18.

The Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW) was a federal-provincial cost-shared program that helped unemployed workers aged 55 to 64. The initiative helped 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. The agreement expired in March 2017 and funding was consolidated into the Workforce Development Agreement in 2017-18.

Other payments from the federal government included, among others:

 

  a)

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, Veteran Priority Access Beds Agreement, Firearms Control Agreement, Exchange of Services Agreement, and Canadian Families Justice Fund for family law services;

 

  b)

Annual subsidies under the Constitution Act, 1907;

 

  c)

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

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) conducts and manages gaming on behalf of the Province of Ontario, including: lottery, casinos, electronic bingo, and internet gaming. OLG continues to integrate horse racing into its gaming strategy, including administration of ongoing funding.

Private service providers are taking over daily operations of OLG casinos in order to optimize revenue and increase operational efficiencies. These providers will fund capital investments necessary to provide enhanced gaming and entertainment experiences for customers. This will help grow OLG revenues to pay for important public services such as healthcare and education.

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

Hydro One Incorporated (now a subsidiary of Hydro One Limited) and Ontario Power Generation Incorporated (OPG) were created as part of the restructuring of the former Ontario Hydro. 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. 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.

Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation (OCRC), operating as the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS), is an online retailer of recreational cannabis in Ontario. It is also the exclusive wholesaler of recreational cannabis to the Province’s authorized private retail stores. Its net income is generated from the sale of recreational cannabis.

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 current fee ranges from $265.25-$4,693.00. Current fees for passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles weighing 3,000 kilograms or less used for personal purposes are $120.00 per year in Southern Ontario and $60.00 per year in Northern Ontario. Fees for motorcycles and mopeds are $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 Court (General Division) in estates matters as set by O.Reg. 393/90 made 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.

On September 28, 2018, the Premier announced the cancellation of the light-duty Drive Clean emissions testing program, saving money for Ontario taxpayers and reducing the regulatory burden on Ontario families while committing to enhanced regulations for the biggest polluters on Ontario’s roads, heavy-duty vehicles.

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 operators, commercial suppliers and gaming employees of charitable gaming events, casinos, charity casinos, slot machine facilities and internet gaming. Also included are fees for issuing licences to conduct and manage lottery schemes such as raffles.

Effective January 1, 2001, holders of water power leases are required to pay a water rental charge calculated at a rate of 9.5 per cent on gross revenues from the annual generation from hydro-electric-generating stations. This is the Gross Revenue Charge - Water Rental component referenced on previous pages.

Teranet – Polaris Royalties - The Province completed the sale of its 50 per cent 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 Province amortized the $205 million to revenue over the years until its completion in 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 from Teranet in 2010-11 for it to retain exclusive rights related to the operation of the electronic land registration system. This amount is represented as 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.

As negotiated in the extension agreement between Teranet and the Province, effective for the period starting from April 1, 2017, Teranet resumed making royalty payments to the Province. The royalty payment is based on a percentage of various eligible Teranet revenues and will be paid quarterly. The royalty stream is to be in place until the end of Teranet’s exclusive licence term in 2067.

In 2018-19, the Province reported a total of $41.4 million in royalty revenue from Teranet.

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 2018-2019 was set at $4.64, or $0.61 or zero (for bioproducts only) per cubic metre depending on the tree species and commodity group. The $0.61 per cubic metre rates were assessed on timber species that are in over-supply due to relatively low market value, have limited application, and/or are harvested primarily for forest improvement purposes. 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 $25.65 per cubic metre, depending on different species groups and product sectors.

Beginning in 2006, funds for the Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) have been collected through the stumpage system. In 2018-2019 the FRI rate was set at either $2.50 or $0.61, depending on species group and end-use, and set aside in the Forestry Futures Trust fund account for FRI expenses, until a targeted $10 million contribution to the FRI account is achieved. After reaching the intended $10 million level, the FRI charge is set to zero1. 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.

 

1 

The only exception to this rule is bioproducts sector, for which FRI is collected at the rate of $0.59/m3 throughout the fiscal year.

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.

The Debt Retirement Charge (DRC) was eliminated as of April 1, 2018. The DRC was paid by electricity consumers based on consumption of electricity. The Electricity Act, 1998, allowed for the DRC to be in place until the residual stranded debt was retired. Residual stranded debt originated from the restructuring of the former Ontario Hydro and restructuring of the electricity sector. The Electricity Act, 1998 was amended by the Budget Measures Act, 2015 to provide for a legislated fixed end-date for the DRC of March 31, 2018 and was no longer linked to the residual stranded debt. Therefore, as part of the legislative amendments, and, effective December 10, 2015, the “residual stranded debt” concept and requirements, including the requirement to determine the residual stranded debt from time-to-time, were removed from the Electricity Act. Ontario removed the DRC from residential electricity users’ bills as of January 1, 2016 and eliminated the DRC for commercial, institutional, industrial and other users as of April 1, 2018. Residual payments of DRC for the period prior to April 1, 2018, have been received, resulting in residual revenues recorded in 2018-19.

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 OEFC, the legal continuation of the former Ontario Hydro.

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 on a discounted cash-flow basis. 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 decision was made to amortize the liability to revenue over the period when most existing electricity contracts expire with the liability fully eliminated in fiscal 2021–22.

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 established by the Electricity Act, 1998. It operates independently as a non-profit corporation without share capital. Licensed by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), it reports to the legislature through the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines. The IESO directs the operation and maintains the reliability of the province’s power system. The IESO balances demand for electricity against available supply through the wholesale market and directs the flow of electricity across the transmission system. IESO’s revenue is derived primarily from OEB-approved fees for each megawatt of electricity withdrawn from the IESO-controlled grid.

SUMMARY OF DEBT OUTSTANDING - Concluded

As at March 31, 2019

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) invests funds in the Province of Ontario’s non-marketable securities. Effective July 1, 2005, under a side-letter agreement signed between the CPPIB and the Province, CPPIB offered the Province upon maturity of the debentures held to the credit of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Fund (CPPIF) that were issued before January 1, 1998, an option of issuing new replacement debentures to the CPPIB with a maximum term of 30 years (minimum term of 5 years and with subsequent roll over options subject to the 30 years maximum from the date of issue of the first replacement debenture) at a rate based on capital market rates at the time of roll over.

The Ontario Immigrant Investor Corporation (OIIC) is an operational enterprise of the Ontario Government incorporated on April 30, 1999 under the Development Corporations Act. The corporation was established to act as Province’s receiving vehicle for immigrant investor monies under the federal government’s Immigrant Investor Program (IIP). The Ontario Financing Authority (“OFA”) manages these monies under an investment management agreement with the OIIC, and the OFA invests these funds received from the IIP in Ontario’s bonds.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has accepted serial debentures issued by the Province in return for financing a significant proportion of the construction cost of Provincially-owned waste control facilities. The interest rate is based on the rate for the Government of Canada long-term Canadian public borrowing cost at the time that the Corporation agreed to participate in the project.

The Province of Ontario has issued to public investors in the capital market bonds denominated in Canadian dollar, United States dollar, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Euro, Swiss franc, and UK pound sterling.

Ontario Savings Bonds (OSBs) were first issued in 1995. OSBs are retail bonds sold by the Province to the residents of Ontario. The bonds are issued once a year and are available for sale through most financial institutions. There are three types of bonds: Variable-Rate Bonds, Step-Up Bonds and Fixed-Rate Bonds. All are available with annual or compound interest. The issuance of new OSBs will be discontinued starting in 2019-2020.

Under the Treasury Bill financing program, non-interest bearing Treasury Bills, with various maturities up to three years, are sold by tender on a regular basis.

U.S. Commercial Paper issues are non-interest bearing debt with maturities up to 270 days.

A School Board Trust was created in June 2003 to permanently refinance debt incurred by 55 school boards. The Trust issued 30-year sinking fund debentures amounting to $891 million and $882 million of the proceeds was provided to the 55 school boards in exchange for the irrevocable right to receive future transfer payments from the Province. An annual transfer payment is made by the Ministry of Education to the Trust’s sinking fund under the School Board Operating Grant program to retire the debt over 30 years.

Net consolidation and other adjustments include third party debt issued by other government organizations after elimination of Provincial debt held by these organizations.

Debt Issued for OEFC: The Province, on behalf of Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (OEFC), borrows from the Canada Pension Investment Board and issues debentures and treasury bills in the public markets. The proceeds of all such borrowings are advanced to OEFC in exchange for bonds and short term notes with like terms and conditions.

Debt issued for Investment Purposes: On April 1, 1999, under the Energy Competition Act, five corporations, together with their subsidiaries, were formed from the former Ontario Hydro. Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) and Hydro One Inc. are two of these five corporations. In order for OPG and Hydro One Inc. to have capital structures competitive with those of other industry participants, the two companies entered into a debt-for-equity swap with the Province of Ontario. The Province assumed $8,885 million of the debt issued by the two corporations in exchange for $5,126 million in equity from OPG and $3,759 million in equity from Hydro One Inc. The change in the value of the debt issued for Hydro One Inc. is the result of proceeds from the sale of Hydro One shares sold in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.

Effective July 1, 2005, under a side-letter agreement signed between the CPPIB and the Province, CPPIB offered the Province upon maturity of the debentures held to the credit of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Fund (CPPIF) that were issued before January 1, 1998, an option of issuing new replacement debentures to the CPPIB with a maximum term of 30 years (minimum term of 5 years and with subsequent roll over options subject to the 30 years maximum from the date of issue of the first replacement debenture) at a rate based on the capital market rates at the time of roll over. These debentures are not negotiable or transferable and are assignable only to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

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, 2019, OEFC had total debt of $18.8 billion (2018, $19.1 billion). $12.5 billion of OEFC’s debt as at March 31, 2019 (2018, $12.8 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”). Following an initial public offering on November 5, 2015 and subsequent share sales in 2016 and 2017, the Province now holds about 47.4% of the common shares in Hydro One. On July 19, 2017, Hydro One announced an offer to acquire Avista Corporation (Avista), for $6.7 billion CAD (USD $5.3 billion). In January 2019, Hydro One and Avista announced that they mutually agreed to terminate their previously announced merger agreement. Related to the transaction, including a termination fee, Hydro One recorded net costs of $45 million in 2017, $44 million in 2018 and $191 million for the three months ending March 31, 2019.

The 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, 2019, OEFC held notes receivable in the amount of $3.3 billion from OPG, $120 million from the IESO and $6.9 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 as at March 31, 2019 was $1.3 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 the initial public offering on November 5, 2015, Hydro One is no longer subject to payments-in-lieu of federal and provincial corporate income taxes and is subject to normal corporate income taxes. Hydro One remains subject to paying payments-in-lieu of property tax. The Minister of Finance has legislative authority and is required 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 discretionary commitment to keep electricity income in the electricity sector, the Province’s proportionate share of the cumulative combined net income of OPG and Hydro One in excess of the Province’s cumulative interest expenditure on its investment in the companies has been allocated to OEFC since 1999, including up to March 31, 2019 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 was levied on most Ontario electricity users and payable to OEFC. Prior to January 1, 2016, the DRC was payable by most electricity consumers. As of January 1, 2016, residential electricity users were exempted from paying the DRC. The government introduced legislation, passed on December 10, 2015, the Budget Measures Act, 2015 to legislate a fixed end-date for the DRC of April 1, 2018, for commercial, industrial and all other users.

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.

In May 2017, the Ontario Fair Hydro Plan Act, 2017 (the Fair Hydro Act) was enacted. The components of the plan to reduce current electricity prices include initiatives provided for in the Fair Hydro Act as well as other policy initiatives including providing arebate on electricity bills equal to the eight per cent provincial portion of the Harmonized Sales Tax under the Ontario Rebate for Electricity Consumers (OREC), which was effective January 1, 2017; funding the cost of the Ontario Electricity Support Program and most of the Rural or Remote Rate Protection program from general government funds instead of from ratepayers; and an additional reduction in current electricity bills for eligible residential, small business and farm customers, commencing July 1, 2017. The reduction (referred to as the Global Adjustment Refinancing) provided for in the Fair Hydro Act was to be recovered from specified electricity ratepayers in future years (referred to as the Clean Energy Adjustment).

The Global Adjustment Refinancing was carried out by an entity established by OPG, which financed the shortfall during the 2017-18 fiscal year ($1,639 million) with subordinated debt from OPG to a maximum of 49 per cent of the Trust’s total outstanding debt, and the balance from third party lenders. Of the amount lent to the Trust from OPG, approximately 90 per cent of that amount ($721 million) was funded by equity injections from the Province, and 10 per cent was funded by debt borrowed by OPG from third party lenders ($82 million). As of March 31, 2019, the Trust owed $876 million to OPG and $912 million to third party lenders.

In September 2018, the government made a decision to make a future change to the Fair Hydro Act to cancel the Global Adjustment Refinancing component as designed, including reducing the amount of the current electricity price reduction to be borne by future ratepayers, and making any recovery from future ratepayers optional. Therefore, The Province’s 2018-2019 Public Accounts reflected an expense of $2,761 million for the GA refinancing (2017-18, $1,789 million)..

In May, 2019, the Fixing the Hydro Mess Act, 2019 received Royal Assent. Amendments to the Fair Hydro Act came into force on November 1, 2019. As a result of the amendments, the recovery of the price reductions are to be funded by the Crown instead of by future ratepayers. The government also introduced regulatory amendments to keep average residential bill increases in line with the rate of inflation and provide on-bill electricity price relief more transparently through the Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER), effective November 1, 2019.

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.

On November 28, 2017, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) announced that it accepted OPG’s proposed revised financial guarantee for the 2018-2022 period. Effective January 1, 2018, the CNSC’s financial guarantee requirement is satisfied by the value of the ONFA funds, without the need for a direct provincial guarantee to the CNSC on behalf of OPG. Until the end of 2017, the Province provided a guarantee related 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 received from OPG an annual fee equal to 0.5% of the value of the guarantee. A second agreement, between the Province, CNSC and OPG, which continues to be in place, gives the CNSC access (in prescribed circumstances) to the segregated funds established under ONFA.
