Ontario's Progressive Conservative government unveiled its much-anticipated budget on Thursday afternoon.
Finance Minister Vic Fedeli has spent months warning voters that "the road ahead will not always be easy" as the Ford government looks to claw back a $13.5-billion deficit.
Fedeli has been adamant that his government's first budget will outline how it plans to find a path back to balance. He rose in the legislature to formally table the province's 2019 budget.
