The right wing Fraser Institute releasing its latest report card on Ontario government spending.
The report finds the Wynne Liberals plan to increase spending on programs by more than $7 billion or nearly six percent this election year.
The Institute says that is triple the amount, we have seen from the Liberal government in past years.
The report also highlights the province's growing debtload.
Report author Ben Eisen noting Ontario's debt has more than doubled over the past 15 years and now stands at $302 billion.
Eisen adding “the upcoming provincial budget should reveal whether the Wynne government plans to further ramp-up spending.”
