Ontario will double the Guaranteed Annual Income System (GAINS) payment throughout 2023, the province announced in its fall economic statement.

Ontario is boosting health spending, investing more in roads and bridges, and phasing out COVID-19 supports as it charts a path out of the pandemic.

The government is able to offer this goody package to small business because the Ontario economy is actually outperforming all expectations and the economic outlook for the election year is positive.
