The province’s $600 million share of Ottawa’s LRT funding won’t be touched despite warnings of “significant” infrastructure cuts, finance minister Dwight Duncan said March 15.
Duncan said there will be less spending on roads and bridges in the provincial budget which is set to be tabled March 27.
The proposed LRT track will run under Queen Street and have three stations downtown.
The federal government has also pledged $600 million dollars to the project.
Duncan said road infrastructure budget cuts are one stop on the road to a sound Ontario economy.
The province is on track to run $16 billion deficit this year.
