(2)	Fiscal forecast as presented in the 2008 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.

(3)	Net Debt is calculated as the difference between liabilities and financial assets. The annual change in Net Debt is equal to the Surplus/Deficit of the Province, plus the change in tangible capital assets, the change in net assets of hospitals, school boards and colleges and — starting April 1, 2007 — the change in fair market value of Ontario Nuclear Funds. Accumulated Deficit is calculated as the difference between liabilities and total assets including tangible capital assets, net assets of hospitals, school boards and colleges. The annual change in the Accumulated Deficit is equal to the Surplus/Deficit plus, effective April 1, 2007, the change in the fair value of the Ontario Nuclear Funds. For fiscal 2005-06, the change in the Accumulated Deficit includes the opening combined net assets of hospitals, school boards and colleges that were recognized upon consolidation of these Broader Public Sector (“BPS”) entities. For fiscal 2006-07, the change in the Accumulated Deficit includes an adjustment to the unfunded liability of the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation made at the beginning of the year. For fiscal 2007-08, a $1.2 billion decrease in the Accumulated Deficit is made up of $0.6 billion in the Province’s operating surplus, with the remainder resulting from a change in accounting policy. Under this change, Ontario Nuclear Funds Agreement (“ONFA”) funds are reported at fair value on Ontario Power Generation Inc. (“OPG”) books and, upon consolidation, on the Province’s consolidated financial statement.

(4)	Net Debt is restated in 2004-05 and 2005-06 to reflect the value of hydro corridor lands transferred to the Province from Hydro One Inc.

1. 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 11.0% as large as the United States. The estimated population of Ontario on 1st July, 2008 was 12.9 million, or 38.8% of Canada’s population of 33.3 million. Since 1992, the populations of Ontario and Canada have increased at average annual rates of 1.3% and 1.0%, respectively. Although it constitutes only 12% of the area of the Province, southern Ontario contains approximately 93.7% of its population. The population of the Greater Toronto Area, the largest metropolitan area in Canada, was estimated to be 6.0 million on 1st July, 2007.

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 107 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 October 10, 2007. Present party standings in the Legislative Assembly are: Ontario Liberal Party, 71 seats; Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, 25 seats; New Democratic Party of Ontario, 10 seats and Independent, 1 seat. The current government of the Province is formed by the Ontario Liberal Party.

Economic Setting

Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) at current market prices in 2007 was $584,957 million, representing 38.1% of the Canadian GDP. Personal income per capita in 2007 was $36,259, or 2.0% above the national average.

An indication of the Province’s importance in several areas of Canadian economic activity is illustrated below.

The Provincial economy displays many of the characteristics of a mature economy, including substantial secondary and service sectors. In broad terms, the primary sector is composed of agriculture, mining and forestry, while manufacturing, utilities and construction form the secondary sector. The remaining categories, such as transportation, communication, wholesale and retail trade and business and public service, make up the

service sector. Ontario shows a stronger concentration in manufacturing than both the United States and the whole of Canada.

2. ECONOMY

(1) Major Economic Indicators

Overview

Ontario’s GDP at current market prices in 2007 was $584,957 million. GDP in constant 2002 dollars (“Real GDP”) was $536,340 million in 2007, an increase of 2.3% over 2006. The five-year average annual growth rate of real GDP from 2003 to 2007 was 2.3%. Real GDP in 2007 increased at a quarterly rate of 0.8% in the first quarter, 0.8% in the second quarter, 0.2% in the third quarter and 0.1% in the fourth quarter.

Ontario’s economy grew by 2.3% in 2007, following growth of 2.6% in 2006. Economic growth was fuelled by strong domestic demand in 2007. Consumer spending grew by 3.8% while housing construction advanced 2.0%. Business investment in machinery and equipment was up a strong 7.8%. Real non-residential construction investment grew at a robust 14.1%, following growth of 10.3% in 2006. A strong Canadian dollar, weaker U.S. demand and restructuring in the auto sector resulted in modest 0.9% export growth in 2007, following growth of 0.6% in 2006.

The following table provides a summary of major economic indicators for Ontario from 2003 to 2007. For the most recently available economic indicators, see “2. Economy — (2) Recent Economic Developments”.

From 2003 through 2007, total capital expenditure increased at an average annual rate of 6.2%.

Business gross fixed capital formation in 2007 was $97,767 million. This accounted for 86.2% of total capital expenditure and 16.7% of GDP at current market prices.

Exports and Imports

In 2007, Ontario’s exports of goods and services totaled $336,178 million, the equivalent of 57.5% of Ontario’s nominal GDP, of which 67.6% were international exports and 32.4% were interprovincial exports. By comparison, Ontario international exports represented 42.7% of Canada’s total exports. Ontario’s imports of goods and services totaled $314,673 million in 2007, resulting in a positive overall trade balance of $21,505 million.

(1) The National Income and Expenditure Accounts as produced by Statistics Canada defines government expenditure to exclude transfer payments and subsidies.

Under the Free Trade Agreement (“FTA”), which came into force on January 1, 1989, tariffs between the United States and Canada were phased out entirely on January 1, 1999. The North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) between Canada, Mexico and the United States, which came into effect on January 1, 1994, liberalizes trade with Mexico and improves on many of the provisions of the FTA. A bilateral free-trade agreement between Canada and Chile came into force on July 5, 1997. Canada-Chile agreement, which provides for the liberalization of trade and investment between the two countries, was negotiated to serve as an interim step to bridge Chile’s accession to NAFTA. In addition, a new World Trade Organization Agreement (“WTO”) (formerly the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs) was implemented on January 1, 1995. It has resulted in a 40% reduction in average tariffs worldwide and makes major advances in rules governing trade in agriculture, services and intellectual property.

(2) Recent Economic Developments

Real output in the Ontario economy grew by 0.3% (1.4% annualized) in the second quarter of 2008, measured in 2002 dollars, up from -0.4% (-1.6% annualized) in the first quarter of 2008. In current dollars, nominal GDP grew by 0.7% to reach an annualized level of $595.9 billion.

Real economic growth in the second quarter was boosted by Ontario household and business spending and by a further build up in inventories. Final domestic demand increased by 1.2% (4.7% annualized) in real terms.

Over the first ten months of 2008, Ontario employment is up by 109,300 jobs or 1.7%, compared to the same period in 2007. The unemployment rate was 6.5% in October.

In September 2008, the Ontario Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) inflation rate was 3.7%.

Economic Outlook

In the 2008 Ontario Budget, the Ministry of Finance projected real GDP growth of 1.1% in 2008 and 2.1% in 2009. In the 2008 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, the Ministry of Finance lowered its projection for real GDP growth to 0.1% for 2008 but did not provide a projection for 2009.

The average private-sector forecast for Ontario real GDP growth was -0.1% for 2008 and -0.3% for 2009 (as of December 12th, 2008), significantly weaker than the Ministry of Finance’s Budget forecast. This adjustment largely reflects continued financial market turmoil and a more negative outlook for U.S. demand.

(3) Structure of the Economy

Secondary Industries

Manufacturing. Ontario is Canada’s leading manufacturing province. In 2007, Ontario’s manufacturing volume of output (measured in 2002 dollars) totaled about $92 billion, or 50% of the national total. The contribution of manufacturing output to Ontario’s total GDP (measured in 2002 dollars) was 19%.

Transportation equipment is Ontario’s largest manufacturing industry measured by output. In 2007, output in this sector totaled $26.2 billion, or approximately 28% of total Ontario manufacturing output. In 2007, Ontario accounted for about 94% of Canadian-manufactured motor vehicles, parts and accessories GDP, and 16.6% of North America’s motor vehicle assembly. Ontario’s international trade surplus in automotive products was $3.7 billion in 2007. Capital investment in Ontario’s transportation equipment industry totaled $3.2 billion in 2007 and capital investment intentions for 2008, according to Statistics Canada data, are $3 billion.

In 2007, 63% of Canada’s electrical and electronic product manufacturing was in Ontario. A number of firms with worldwide reputations in the design, manufacture and distribution of high technology products are based in the Province. Ontario manufacturers as a whole conducted an estimated $4.9 billion worth of industrial research and development in 2006, and accounted for 57.7% of total Canadian manufacturing industrial research and development.

Construction. Ontario’s capital spending on construction includes buildings, roads and other facilities. Construction spending intentions, according to the latest survey from Statistics Canada, indicate an expected rise of 4.0% in 2008 to $61.9 billion. The highest increase is expected in government and institutions at 9.4%, followed by housing at 2.8%. In 2008, capital spending intentions on housing construction constitutes the largest share, representing 51.3% of the total.

Primary Industries

Agriculture. Ontario has a large and highly diversified agricultural sector. Agricultural activity can be found in most areas of the Province, but production is concentrated in southwestern Ontario, which is located at roughly the same latitude as Northern California and has a climate moderated by the Great Lakes. Provincial agricultural production, based on farm cash receipts, was valued at $8.7 billion in 2007, or 23.9% of the Canadian total. Of this, total livestock receipts were $4.5 billion, and crop receipts were $4.2 billion.

Mining. Ontario’s value of mineral production was $10,675 million in 2007. Ontario accounted for 26.4% of Canadian mineral production in 2007, excluding oil and gas. The Province’s most important minerals in terms of 2007 value of production were: nickel, $4,606 million; copper $1,403 million, gold, $1,259 million; cement, $650 million; stone, $628 million and sand and gravel, $490 million. Ontario’s value of mineral production was more than $8 billion due to higher prices for nickel and other metals.

Forestry. Ontario has about 568,000 square kilometers of productive forestland representing 65.5% of Ontario’s total land area. Timber harvests amounted to approximately 18.8 million cubic meters in 2006-07. The value of shipments from various wood and paper industries in the Province totaled $13 billion in 2007, and equaled 23.5% of the Canadian total.

Energy

In 2006, the composition of Ontario’s primary energy consumption was the following: crude oil 31.3%, natural gas and liquids 38.4%, coal 16.4% and electricity 13.9%.

Total primary energy consumption was 2,987 Petajoules in 2006, a decline of 3.5% from 3,094 Petajoules in 2005. Consumption of crude oil, coal, and natural gas declined by 5%, 7%, and 2% respectively, while consumption of primary electricity increased by 1% over the period.

Service Sector

The service sector is the largest component of Ontario’s economy, accounting for approximately 72% of Ontario’s GDP (measured in 2002 dollars) in 2007. Ontario has a modern and diversified services sector. It includes a wide variety of industries serving businesses, individuals and governments.

The finance, insurance and real estate sector is the largest component of Ontario’s service sector output. In 2007, Ontario’s share accounted for 49.4% of Canada’s finance, insurance and real estate output, the highest share of any province.

Ontario’s sizable financial services sector is a by-product of the large number of head offices of industrial and financial companies located in the Toronto area. The Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) is Canada’s premiere stock exchange with a value of trading of $1.7 trillion dollars in 2007.

Ontario also has strong professional and administrative output, accounting for 47.2% of the Canadian total. Wholesale and retail trade help support the spending of business and consumers, including investment and imports. Ontario accounts for 41.2% of Canada’s wholesale and retail trade output and 44.2% of Canada’s information and cultural services.

(4) Labour Force

From 2002 to 2007, Ontario’s labour force increased at an average annual rate of 1.8%, the same as the Canadian rate. During 2007, the Ontario labour force averaged approximately 7.0 million persons. In 2007, the

Ontario participation rate of 68.0% was 0.4 percentage points higher than the Canadian rate. Reflecting the industrial structure of the Province, 98.5% of employment was in the non-agricultural sector. The service sector, which has been a major source of employment growth, accounted for 76.5% of Ontario’s employment, while manufacturing and construction accounted for 20.7% and agriculture, utilities and other primary industries accounted for 2.9%. In 2007, the Ontario unemployment rate averaged 6.4%, while the national rate averaged 6.0%.

(5)	Social Security System

The Province provides a wide range of health care, social services and income security assistance to Ontarians. Until 1995-96, the Province received funding for health care from the Federal Government under the Established Programs Financing (“EPF”) arrangements. This national funding arrangement provided support for the provision of provincial health care programs as well as postsecondary education.

The Province also provides income security assistance to individuals and families to replace earnings or provide income support. Until 1995-96, income supplementation related to defined needs was provided, when necessary, on a cost-shared basis with the Federal Government under the Canada Assistance Plan (“CAP”). In its 1995 budget, the Federal Government announced major cutbacks to social transfers to the provincial and territorial governments. Beginning in 1996-97, the EPF arrangements and CAP were replaced by the Canada Health and Social Transfer (“CHST”). Effective April 1, 2004, the CHST was split into two separate transfers: the Canada Health Transfer (“CHT”), designated specifically for health care; and the Canada Social Transfer (“CST”) for postsecondary education and social services. See “3. Public Finance — (3) Revenue — Federal Government Payments” below.

The Federal Government also administers the Employment Insurance (“EI”) program, a national, contributory unemployment insurance scheme, and the Canada Pension Plan (“CPP”), a national, contributory earnings-related pension system. CPP benefits include retirement pensions, disability pensions, survivor benefits, orphans’ benefits and death benefits. In 2007, Ontario residents received about $13.6 billion in benefits from the CPP and about $4.7 billion in total benefits from EI. Both of these programs are financed through payroll taxes paid by employers and employees. In 2008, the Federal Government created the Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board which will be responsible for managing excess EI revenues and maintaining a cash reserve to support premium rate stability. The CPP Account is separate from the federal budget and is managed independently by the CPP Investment Board and invested in marketable and non-marketable securities.

The Federal Government also provides universal and income-tested support for senior citizens through Old Age Security (“OAS”) pensions, the Guaranteed Income Supplement (“GIS”) program and the Allowance for low-income persons aged 60-64. The Ontario government provides an income-tested supplement for seniors, the Guaranteed Annual Income System (“GAINS”) benefit, which is paid to GIS recipients with low incomes. In 2007, seniors in Ontario received a total of about $11.7 billion from these three federal programs and about $105 million from GAINS. Starting in 2009, the Ontario Senior Homeowners’ Property Tax Grant will assist eligible low- and moderate- income seniors, who own their homes, to offset their property taxes through grants of up to $250, going to $500 for 2010 and subsequent years. This will provide an estimated $1 billion in assistance over five years.

In addition, the federal and provincial governments provide cash transfers to families raising children. The federally administered Canada Child Tax Benefit (“CCTB”) and National Child Benefit (“NCB”) Supplement provide basic benefits to most families with children and targeted benefits to low-income families with children. According to the most recent data available, in the 2005-06 benefit year, Ontario families received about $3.4 billion in benefits from these programs. The Ontario government provides children’s benefits through the Ontario Child Care Supplement (“OCCS”) for Working Families. In 2007-08, the OCCS provided approximately $150 million in tax-free benefits to low- to middle-income working families with young children. In July 2007, the Ontario government began providing a tax-free benefit for low-income families with children who are eligible for the Federal CCTB. The Ontario Child Benefit (“OCB”) is projected to provide $340 million in benefits to families in 2008-09. When fully implemented, the OCB will replace the OCCS and benefits paid to families on social assistance in respect of their children.

The Ontario government and municipalities jointly share responsibility for providing income support to individuals and families whose income is insufficient to meet their basic needs. In 2007-08, the Province provided an estimated $5.4 billion through social assistance and related programs. Twenty per cent of the expenditure in respect of financial assistance for persons with disabilities and drug benefits for all recipients was recovered from municipalities in the same year.


(6)	Government Responsibilities and Relationships

Constitutional Framework

Canada is a federation and its constitution (“Constitution”) provides for a division of responsibilities between the federal and provincial governments. Each province and the Federal Government have 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.

The Constitution of Canada was amended in 1982. The Constitution Act, 1982 (“Constitution Act”) established a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and a procedure for amending the Constitution. Nothing in the Constitution Act diminishes the taxing or spending authority of the provinces.

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 (See “4. Public Debt — (3) Consolidated Debt of the Ontario Public Sector” below) as did Ontario Hydro prior to its restructuring in April 1999 (See “4. Public Debt — (2) Assets and Liabilities, (iii) Liabilities — Ontario Electricity Industry” below).

Implications for Provincial Financial Statements

The provinces have been assisted with their responsibilities in areas such as health, postsecondary education and social assistance by transfer payment arrangements between the federal and provincial governments. Through these arrangements, the Federal Government provides revenues to provincial governments to finance programs under provincial jurisdiction.

Federal-provincial funding arrangements create extensive financial interrelationships between the Province, the Federal Government and provincially-created bodies. These financial interrelationships are important in understanding the revenue, expense and financing activity of the Province. For example, in fiscal 2008-09, approximately 17.4% of the Province’s revenue is expected to come from the Federal Government.

Investing in provincially-created bodies has an impact on the reporting of assets. As at March 31, 2008, approximately 36.2% (2007, 37.4%) of the Financial Assets of the Province could be attributed to these intermediary activities. (See “4. Public Debt — (2) Assets and Liabilities” below).

3. PUBLIC FINANCE


(1)	Financial Reporting

Annually, the Province publishes its Public Accounts, which include the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, together with ministry statements, detailed schedules of ministry expenses, financial statements of significant provincial corporations, boards and commissions that are part of the government reporting entity and other miscellaneous financial statements. The Auditor General of Ontario examines the Public Accounts of the Province and provides an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements to the Legislative Assembly. In addition, the Auditor General of Ontario is required to submit an annual report to the Legislative Assembly.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles for governments recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board (“PSAB”) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) and, where applicable, the recommendations of the Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) of the CICA.

Reporting Entity

The consolidated financial statements report the activities of the Consolidated Revenue Fund combined with those organizations that are controlled by the government.

Public hospitals, specialty psychiatric hospitals, school boards and colleges, collectively referred to as the “Broader Public Sector (“BPS”) organizations,” are consolidated on a sector basis in these financial statements.

Government business enterprises and other organizations that are controlled by the Province are individually consolidated provided they meet one of the following criteria: i) their revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities are greater than $50 million, or ii) their outside sources of revenues, deficit or surplus are greater than $10 million.

The activities of organizations that do not meet the materiality thresholds are reflected in the consolidated financial statements through the accounts of the ministries responsible for them. Trusts administered by the government on behalf of other parties are excluded from the reporting entity.

Principles of Consolidation

Government organizations, except for government business enterprises and broader public sector organizations, are consolidated on a line-by-line basis with the Consolidated Revenue Fund in these financial statements. Where necessary, adjustments are made to present the accounts of these organizations on a basis consistent with the accounting policies described below, and to eliminate significant inter-organizational accounts and transactions.

Government business enterprises are defined as those government organizations that i) are separate legal entities with the power to contract in their own name and that can sue and be sued; ii) have the financial and operating authority to carry on a business; iii) have as their principal activity and source of revenue the selling of goods and services to individuals and non-government organizations; and iv) are able to maintain their operations and meet their obligations from revenues generated outside the government reporting entity. The activities of government business enterprises are recorded in the financial statements using the modified equity method. Under this method, government business enterprises are reported in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted for business enterprises. Their combined net assets are included in the financial statements as Investment in Government Business Enterprises on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and their combined net income is shown as a separate item, Income from Investment in Government Business Enterprises, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Broader Public Sector (“BPS”) organizations are recorded in the financial statements using the equity method. Under the equity method or “one-line” basis, BPS organizations are reported in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted for governments. Significant gains and losses resulting from inter-organizational transactions occurring from within the government reporting entity are eliminated upon consolidation. Their combined net assets are included in the financial statements as Net Assets of Broader Public Sector Organizations on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Their combined net expenses, that is, the total annual expenses of all BPS organizations net of revenues they receive from sources other than the Province, are included in Expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The combined net expenses of hospitals are included with Health expenses, school board net expenses are included with Education expenses, and college net expenses are included in Postsecondary Education and Training expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Government business enterprises and other government organizations not meeting the materiality thresholds set out in the Reporting Entity section of this note, are reflected in these financial statements through the accounts of the ministries responsible for them.

Measurement Uncertainty

Uncertainty in the determination of the amount at which an item is recognized or disclosed in the financial statements is known as measurement uncertainty. Such uncertainty exists when there could be a material variance between the recognized or disclosed amount and another reasonably possible amount.

Measurement uncertainty in these financial statements and notes thereto exists in the valuation of the power purchase contracts, the accruals for pensions and other employee future benefits obligations, the value of tangible capital assets, the accruals for personal income and corporations tax revenues, the valuation of the health transfers and Canada social transfer entitlements and the valuation of the Canadian third party asset-backed commercial paper.

Uncertainty in the valuation of the power purchase contracts arises from fluctuations in market prices that would affect this liability. The uncertainty related to pensions and other employee future benefits accruals arises because actual results may differ significantly from the Province’s best estimate of expected results (for example, the difference between actual results and actuarial assumptions regarding return on investment of pension fund assets and health care cost trend rates for retiree benefits). Uncertainty in the value of tangible capital assets exists because of differences between estimated useful lives of the assets and their actual useful lives. Uncertainty related to the accrual for personal tax and corporations tax revenues arises due to possible subsequent revisions of estimates based on forthcoming information from past year tax return processing. Uncertainty in the estimation of the Canada Health Transfer and Canada Social Transfer entitlements arises from variances between the estimated and actual Ontario shares of the Canada-wide personal income and corporation tax base and population.

The uncertainties relating to the valuation of the Canadian third party asset-backed commercial paper are detailed in the financial statements.

Estimates are based on the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements and are reviewed annually to reflect new information as it becomes available.

Revenues

Revenues are recognized in the fiscal year that the events giving rise to the revenues occur and they are earned. Amounts received prior to the end of the year, which relate to revenues that will be earned in a subsequent fiscal year, are deferred and reported as liabilities.

Expenses

Expenses are recognized in the fiscal year that the events giving rise to the expense occur and resources are consumed. Expenses include:


	•	accounts payable accruals

	•	transfer payments

	•	interest accruing on debt


	•	pension and other employee future benefits

	•	the amortization of tangible capital assets

	•	net expenses of hospitals, school boards and colleges.

Transfer payments are recognized in the year during which the events giving rise to them occur, provided that the transfer is authorized, all eligibility criteria are met and a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made.

Interest on Debt includes the following: i) interest on outstanding debt net of interest income on investments and loans; ii) amortization of foreign exchange gains or losses; iii) amortization of debt discounts, premiums and commissions; iv) amortization of deferred hedging gains and losses; and v) servicing and other costs.

Employee future benefits such as pensions, other retirement benefits and entitlements upon termination are recognized as expenses over the years in which the benefits are earned by employees. These expenses are the government’s share of the current year’s cost of benefits, interest on the net benefits liability or asset, amortization of actuarial gains or losses, cost of or gain on plan amendment, and other adjustments.

Other employee future benefits are recognized in the period when the event that obligates the government occurs or in the period when the benefits are earned and accumulated by employees.

The costs of buildings and transportation infrastructure owned by the Province are amortized and recognized as expenses over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Amortization of tangible capital assets owned by government organizations consolidated in these financial statements is also included in expenses.

The Province is phasing in the implementation of PSAB recommendations on tangible capital assets. Consequently, the costs of acquisition of other tangible capital assets owned by the Province, such as furniture and vehicles, are recorded as expenses. Also, for significant capital leases entered into by the Province, an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments required over the term of the lease is recorded as an expense at the inception of the lease, with an offsetting liability recorded for the lease obligation.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recorded to the extent that they represent present obligations of the government to outside parties as a result of events and transactions occurring prior to the end of the fiscal year. The settlement of liabilities will result in the sacrifice of economic benefits in the future.

Liabilities include present obligations for environmental costs, probable losses on loan guarantees issued by the government, and contingencies when it is likely that a loss will be realized and the amount can be reasonably determined.

Liabilities also include obligations to government business enterprises.

Debt

Debt consists of treasury bills, commercial paper, medium and long-term notes, savings bonds, debentures and loans.

Debt denominated in foreign currencies that has been hedged is recorded at the Canadian dollar equivalent using the rates of exchange established by the terms of the hedge agreements. Other foreign currency denominated debt, liabilities and assets are translated to Canadian dollars at year-end rates of exchange and any exchange gains or losses are amortized over the remaining term to maturity.

The Province uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”) for the purposes of minimizing interest costs and managing risk. The Province does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. Derivatives are financial contracts, the value of which is derived from underlying instruments. Gains or losses arising from derivative transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the related debt issue.

Pensions and Other Employee Future Benefits

The liabilities for pensions and other employee future benefits are calculated on an actuarial basis using the government’s best estimates of future inflation rates, investment returns, employee salary levels and other underlying assumptions, and, where applicable, the government’s borrowing rate. When actual plan experience of pensions, other retirement benefits and termination pay differs from that expected, or when assumptions are revised, actuarial gains and losses arise. These gains and losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of plan members.

The liabilities for selected employee future benefits (such as pensions, other retirement benefits and termination pay) represent the government’s share of the actuarial present values of benefits attributed to services rendered by employees and former employees, less its share of the assets of the plans. In addition, the liability includes the Province’s share of the unamortized balance of actuarial gains or losses, and other adjustments primarily for differences between the fiscal year-end of the pension plans and that of the Province.

Assets

Assets are resources controlled by the government from which it will derive future benefits. Assets are recognized in the year the events giving rise to the government’s control of the benefit occur.

Financial Assets

Financial assets are resources that can be used to discharge existing liabilities or finance future operations. They include cash, temporary investments, accounts receivable, loans receivable, advances, and investments in government business enterprises.

Temporary investments are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Accounts receivables are recorded at cost. A valuation allowance is recorded when collection of the receivable is considered doubtful.

Loans receivable with significant concessionary terms are considered in part as grants and are recorded on the date of issuance at face value discounted by the amount of the grant portion. The grant portion is recognized as an expense at the date of issuance of the loan. The amount of the loan discount is amortized to revenue over the term of the loan. Loans receivable include amounts owing from government business enterprises.

Investment in government business enterprises represents the net assets of government business enterprises recorded on the modified equity basis as described under Principles of Consolidation.

Net Assets of Broader Public Sector Organizations

The net assets of the broader public sector (“BPS”) organizations consist of tangible capital and financial assets of BPS organizations net of their liabilities. Although the assets of BPS organizations are consolidated, they are owned, managed and operated by BPS organizations. Tangible capital assets of hospitals and colleges are recorded at historical cost in their financial statements. Interest incurred during construction of major projects is capitalized and included in historical cost when specific project financing is provided. Although school boards do not presently record tangible capital assets in their financial statements, an adjustment is made upon consolidation to record the estimated historical cost of their land and building assets in the Province’s consolidated financial statements.

Tangible Capital Assets

Tangible capital assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated amortization. Historical cost includes the costs directly related to the acquisition, design, construction, development, improvement or betterment of tangible capital assets. Cost includes overheads directly attributable to construction and development but excludes interest. Estimated historical cost was used to record existing tangible capital assets if actual cost was unknown when the Province first implemented tangible capital assets accounting. Tangible capital assets, except land, are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.

As the Province is phasing in the implementation of PSAB recommendations on provincially owned tangible capital assets, the following categories are included under tangible capital assets and recorded at historical cost: land, buildings and transportation infrastructure owned by the Province; and all tangible capital assets owned by government organizations that are consolidated in the financial statements. The remaining other tangible capital assets, including leased assets, computers, equipment, vehicles and furniture, are expensed as acquired. The Province intends to apply PSAB’s recommendations on the remaining other tangible capital assets in 2009-10.

Maintenance and repair costs are recognized as an expense when incurred. Betterments or improvements that significantly increase or prolong the service life or capacity of a tangible capital asset are capitalized. External contributions for acquisition of tangible capital assets are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized on the same basis as the related tangible capital assets.

The Budget

Traditionally, a Budget is tabled each year by the Ontario Minister of Finance in the Legislative Assembly, setting out the expense and revenue forecast for activities to be undertaken for Provincial purposes. In addition, a publication entitled “Ontario Finances” provides a quarterly update to reflect in-year developments, budget performance and policy actions and the “Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review” traditionally provides a more comprehensive update of second quarter numbers.

Fiscal Outlook 2008-09

The 2008-09 First Quarter Ontario Finances noted that the consensus forecast predicted slower economic growth for Ontario than was projected in the 2008 Ontario Budget but that it was still too early to determine the effect on the Province’s revenue and expense outlook. The current fiscal outlook reflects the estimated impact of these economic risks and modifies the outlook projected in the 2008 Ontario Budget. Total revenue in 2008-09 is currently projected to be $96,002 million, a decrease of 0.9% from the 2008 Ontario Budget forecast, reflecting projections for slower economic growth. Total expense in 2008-09 is currently estimated to be $96,302 million, 0.1% higher than the 2008 Ontario Budget forecast, primarily due to higher utilization related expense in the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (“OHIP”) program. A portion of the $750 million reserve included in the 2008 Ontario Budget plan has been drawn down to partially offset the effects of slower economic growth on the Province’s fiscal outlook. The Province continues to maintain a $200 million reserve in recognition of the continued global economic uncertainty that could further impact the Province’s finances.

The 2007-08 Actual and 2008-09 current outlook presented below are from material presented in the 2007-08 Public Accounts of Ontario and the 2008 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.

Revenues

Total revenues are projected to decrease by 1.2% in 2008-09 from 2007-08. Any increase due to modest economic growth is more than offset by one-time revenues in 2007-08, the impact of policy initiatives and lower earnings from government business enterprises.

Taxation Revenue are projected to decline $582 million (-0.9%) in 2008-09 from 2007-08 due mostly to weakness in Corporations Tax and Land Transfer Tax. In addition, 2007-08 revenues were boosted by $1.4 billion in one-time revenues related to prior year adjustments.

Revenue from the Government of Canada is projected to rise by $67 million (0.4%) from 2007-08 mainly due to higher Canada Health Transfers, Canada Social Transfers, Infrastructure revenues, and the 2008 federal budget trusts for Public Transit Capital, Community Development and Police Officers Recruitment. These increases are partially offset by declining transfers in other areas such as the Wait Times Reduction Fund, and the 2006 federal budget Post Secondary Education and Affordable Housing Trust funds.

Income from Investment in Government Business Enterprises is projected to be $315 million lower (-7.1%) in 2008-09 from 2007-08 due to lower net incomes from Ontario Power Generation, which included positive impacts of Provincial consolidation adjustments in 2007-08 related to OPG’s nuclear funds; and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation due to the continued impacts of competition from U.S. casinos, border-crossing issues and the high Canadian dollar. These decreases are partially offset by higher LCBO net income.

Other Non-Tax Revenue is projected to fall $290 million in 2008-09 (-3.8%) from 2007-08 largely due to lower projected miscellaneous revenues and lower projected reimbursements from municipalities reflecting the government’s decision to take on from municipalities the entire cost of the Ontario Disability Support Program and Ontario Drug Benefits for social assistance recipients over four years starting in 2008.

Expense

Total expense in 2008-09 is currently projected to be $96,302 million, an increase of $132 million from the 2008 Ontario Budget forecast. This change in total expense primarily reflects an increase in the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for utilization-related expense in the OHIP program.

Taxation

The Constitution provides for a division of taxation authority between the federal and provincial governments. Local governments derive their taxing powers from the Province. In accordance with its policy of centralized financing, the Province has delegated its taxing powers respecting real property taxes to local governments.

Personal Income Tax. Ontario imposes a personal income tax (“PIT”) on individuals who are resident in Ontario on the last day of the taxation year and on non-resident individuals who earn income in Ontario during the year. This tax is the Province’s largest single source of revenue.

Ontario basic PIT is calculated as a percentage of taxable income, as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada). It is collected by the Canada Revenue Agency on Ontario’s behalf. The tax rates for 2008 are as follows: 6.05% of the first $36,020 of taxable income, plus 9.15% of any portion of taxable income between $36,020 and $72,041, plus 11.16% of any portion of taxable income over $72,041. Ontario non-refundable tax credits are provided to recognize individual and family circumstances (e.g., basic personal amount, spouse or common-law partner amount, medical expenses, charitable donations), at the rate of 6.05% in 2008 (11.16% for charitable donation amounts in excess of $200), before the calculation of the surtax or Ontario Tax Reduction.

Ontario also applies a surtax on taxpayers with higher incomes. For the 2008 taxation year, the surtax is equal to 20% of basic Ontario PIT in excess of $4,162, plus an additional 36% of basic Ontario PIT in excess of $5,249. For taxpayers with low or moderate incomes, the Ontario Tax Reduction can reduce or eliminate Ontario PIT.

The Ontario Health Premium (“OHP”) is a component of the PIT system and is based on taxable income of individuals. There are five OHP levels, with phase-in rates between levels. No one with a taxable income of $20,000 or less is liable to pay the OHP. The initial OHP level of $300 is phased in at the rate of 6% of taxable income in excess of $20,000, reaching the full amount at a taxable income of $25,000. The increase to the second OHP level of $450 is phased in at a rate of 6% of taxable income from $36,000 to $38,500. Each subsequent OHP level is phased in at the rate of 25% over the first $600 of taxable income in the range. The third OHP level of $600 is reached at a taxable income of $48,600, the fourth OHP level of $750 is reached at taxable income of $72,600, and the maximum annual OHP amount of $900 is reached at a taxable income of $200,600.

Retail Sales Tax. Ontario applies an 8% retail sales tax on the purchase of most tangible personal property and certain services. For admission fees to a place of amusement that exceed $4.00 and alcoholic beverages sold at licensed establishments the rate is 10%. Alcoholic beverages sold through retail outlets are taxed at 12%. On transient accommodation, the rate is 5%. Insurance premiums are generally taxed at 8%; however, auto insurance premiums, individual life and health insurance premiums, and repairs and replacements made under warranty are exempt. There are a number of exemptions from retail sales tax, including those for basic groceries, prescription drugs, energy, children’s clothing, farm equipment, farm building materials and production machinery and equipment.

Under the Retail Sales Tax Act, the Tax for Fuel Conservation is applied to the purchase or lease of a new passenger vehicle or sport utility vehicle and is based on the highway fuel consumption of the vehicle. Trucks, buses and vans are not subject to this tax. The tax applies to all passenger vehicles with a highway fuel consumption of 6.0 or more litres of gasoline or diesel fuel per 100 kilometres and all sport utility vehicles with a highway fuel consumption of 8.0 or more litres of gasoline or diesel fuel per 100 kilometres, and increases as fuel efficiency of the vehicle declines. A $100 tax credit is given to the purchaser of a new passenger car with a highway fuel consumption of less than 6.0 litres of gasoline or diesel fuel per 100 kilometres.

Corporate Income Tax. The Province taxes corporate income allocated to Ontario. The general corporate income tax rate is 14% and the Manufacturing & Processing (“M&P”) tax rate is 12%. The M&P tax rate is the tax rate on income from manufacturing and processing, mining, logging, fishing and farming.

The tax rate for small businesses is 5.5%. The income threshold for this special rate was increased from $400,000 to $500,000 effective January 1, 2007. The benefit of the small business rate phases out between $500,000 and $1,500,000.

Ontario provides assistance for scientific research and experimental development (“SR&ED”) activities through: (1) a 10% refundable innovation tax credit for qualified SR&ED expenses; (2) a full deduction for qualified expenses in the year they are incurred; (3) a 20% refundable tax credit for SR&ED done through specified research institutions; and (4) a tax exemption for the federal SR&ED investment tax credit that relates

to SR&ED incurred in Ontario (this incentive will be replaced by a new 4.5% non-refundable tax credit on qualifying SR&ED expenditures for taxation years ending after 2008).

Ontario provides a number of refundable tax credits on expenses for certain other corporate activities carried out in Ontario: a 25% to 30% apprenticeship tax credit for hiring qualifying apprentices (effective May 19, 2004), a 10% to 15% co-operative education tax credit for hiring qualifying co-op students; a 30% book publishing tax credit; a 20% computer animation and special effects tax credit; a 35% tax credit for producing domestic film and television productions (40% for first-time producers), with an additional 10% bonus for qualifying regional productions; a 25% film and television production services tax credit for foreign-based and non-certified domestic productions; a 25% to 30% interactive digital media tax credit; and a 20% sound recording tax credit.

The tax credit rate for domestic film and television productions increased from 30% to 35% effective January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009. The 10% regional bonus continues and first-time producers are eligible for an enhanced rate of 40%. Also, the tax credit rate for foreign-based and non-certified domestic film and television productions increased from 18% to 25% effective January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009.

Ontario provides an immediate 100% deduction for new assets acquired before 2008 that are used to generate electricity from clean, alternative or renewable sources. Ontario also provides an additional deduction from income equal to 30% of the capital cost of pollution control equipment.

Corporations or a group of associated corporations with total assets over $5 million or gross revenues over $10 million are subject to a corporate minimum tax (“CMT”). The CMT is applied at a rate of 4% on accounting income less certain deductions, such as dividend income. The CMT is reduced by regular corporate income tax payable in the year.

Insurance Premiums Tax. Insurance companies pay a 2% tax on net premiums in respect of accident, sickness and life insurance for persons resident in Ontario. A 3% tax is levied on net premiums in respect of property and any other contract of insurance in Ontario. Contracts in respect of property insurance also bear an additional 0.5% tax on net premiums. A 2% premiums tax is also payable by employers in respect of uninsured benefit arrangements.

Life insurance companies are subject to a special additional tax of 1.25% on taxable paid-up capital in Ontario. The first $10 million in paid-up capital is exempt from tax. This tax is reduced by regular income tax and any corporate minimum tax payable in the year.

Capital Tax. The Province levies a capital tax on paid-up capital allocated to Ontario. Insurance companies do not pay this tax. For 2007, the first $12.5 million of taxable paid-up capital is exempt from capital tax. This increases to $15 million in 2008. The capital tax rate for regular corporations is 0.225% in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 0.15% in 2010. Capital tax generally applies to financial institutions at a two-tier rate. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 the rate is 0.45% on a financial institution’s adjusted taxable paid-up capital up to $400 million and 0.3% in 2010. Non-deposit taking financial institutions with taxable paid-up capital over $400 million are subject to capital tax at the rate of 0.54% in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 0.36% in 2010. Deposit taking financial institutions with taxable capital over $400 million are subject to capital tax at the rate of 0.675% in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 0.45% in 2010. Ontario credit unions, Caisses Populaires and family farm/fishing corporations are exempt from capital tax.

The 2004 Ontario Budget announced a plan to gradually eliminate the capital tax by 2012. The 2006 Ontario Budget built on the government’s original plan by accelerating the capital tax rate cut. Effective January 1, 2007 every corporation still paying capital tax had its rate in effect for 2006 reduced by 5% — two years earlier than the first scheduled rate cut under the original plan. The 2007 Ontario Budget accelerated the elimination of capital tax to July 1, 2010 — eighteen months earlier than scheduled under the capital tax elimination plan announced in the 2004 budget. The 2007 Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review provided a 21% rate cut for all businesses effective January 1, 2007. The 2008 Ontario Budget eliminated capital tax for companies primarily engaged in manufacturing and resource activities, effective January 1, 2007.

Assets used to generate electricity from clean, alternative or renewable energy sources and acquired before 2008 are exempt from capital tax. Large financial institutions may reduce their capital tax liability where they make eligible investments in Ontario small businesses under the Small Business Investment Tax Credit.

Mining Tax. The Mining Tax Act levies a tax on profits from the extraction of minerals (except diamonds) in Ontario. The tax is levied on the operator’s profit in excess of $500,000. The mining tax rate is 10%. There is a three-year or $10 million profit exemption available to new or expanded mines. To assist mines in remote areas

of the Province, the three-year exemption is extended to ten years for new remote mines. As well, the profits from remote mines are taxed at a rate of 5% after the 10-year or $10 million profit exemption.

Diamond Royalty. On March 22, 2007, the Ontario Budget introduced a diamond royalty under the Mining Act. Ontario’s diamond royalty is not a tax but a payment to Ontario, as owner of the mineral resource, in consideration for the right to mine diamonds. The profit-based diamond royalty has a graduated rate structure starting at 5% and an overall maximum rate of 13%. An effective royalty rate of 13% would only apply when profits, in a year, reach or exceed $225 million. On July 5, 2007, Ontario introduced specific deductions that will result in an effective diamond royalty rate, in any one year, which ranges from 4% to a maximum of 10.4%. The royalty rate would be reduced even further with investment in aboriginal or northern communities.

Employer Health Tax. Ontario levies a payroll tax on Ontario remuneration. Employers with total annual Ontario remuneration of $200,000 or less calculate tax payable at a rate of 0.98%; employers with total annual Ontario remuneration between $200,000 and $400,000 calculate this tax at graduated rates between 0.98% and 1.95%; and employers with total annual Ontario remuneration in excess of $400,000 calculate tax at a rate of 1.95%. A tax exemption is provided for the first $400,000 of total annual Ontario remuneration of private-sector employers.

Land Transfer Tax. Ontario levies a land transfer tax on the value of consideration of most registered conveyances and unregistered dispositions of beneficial interest in land in Ontario. The land transfer tax applies at graduated rates ranging from 0.5% on the value of consideration of $55,000 or less, 1.0% on the value of consideration from $55,001 to $250,000 and 1.5% on the value of consideration exceeding $250,000. Where the value of consideration exceeds $400,000 and the property contains one or two single-family residences, there is an additional 0.5% (in addition to the 1.5%) tax levied on the amount exceeding $400,000. A refund of up to $2,000 of the land transfer tax paid is available for qualifying first-time buyers.

Other Significant Taxes. Taxes are applied to the purchases of gasoline (Gasoline Tax Act) and use of diesel fuel (Fuel Tax Act). The taxes apply to gasoline and diesel fuel used in on-road motor vehicles and certain off-road uses (i.e. recreational boats, snowmobiles, lawn mowers). Under the Gasoline Tax Act, the tax rate for gasoline is 14.7 cents per litre; 4.3 cents per litre for propane; and 2.7 cents per litre for fuel used to power aircraft. Under the Fuel Tax Act, the tax rate for diesel fuel is 14.3 cents per litre and 4.5 cents per litre for diesel fuel used to power railroad locomotives.

Tobacco Tax. Since February 1, 2006, Ontario’s tobacco tax rate is 12.35 cents per cigarette or per gram or part gram of cut tobacco. The tax on cigars is 56.6% of the retail price.

Race Tracks Tax. Ontario also levies a racetracks tax on wagers on horse races at 0.5% on all bets.

Federal Government Payments

Approximately 17.4% of the Province’s revenue in fiscal 2008-09, or $16,664 million, will be received through cash payments from the Federal Government. These payments are expected to increase by $67 million, from $16,597 million in 2007-08. Federal payments are intended to assist the Province in providing necessary services in areas of provincial jurisdiction.

Canada Health Transfer (“CHT”) and Canada Social Transfer (“CST”). The largest cash transfers from the Federal Government, in the form of CHT and CST payments, are to assist the Province in providing health care, postsecondary education and other social programs. In fiscal year 2007-08, CHT and CST payments to Ontario were $12,265 million, including $8,487 million in CHT and $3,778 million in CST. In 2008-09, CHT and CST payments to Ontario are expected to total $12,915 million, including $8,826 million in CHT and $4,089 million in CST.

The CHT and CST were created April 1, 2004, when the Government of Canada split the Canada Health and Social Transfer (“CHST”) into two separate transfers: the CHT, designated specifically for health care, and the CST for postsecondary education and social programs. The CHST was a block fund contribution by the Federal Government in respect of social programs under the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act. It replaced both the Established Programs Financing (“EPF”) and Canada Assistance Plan (“CAP”) in 1996-97. To receive the CHT cash contribution, provinces must comply with the Canada Health Act. To receive the CST cash contribution, provinces may not impose a residency requirement in determining eligibility for social assistance.

Until 2007-08, CHT and CST total entitlements include both cash and tax entitlements. CHT and CST tax entitlements are the value of 13.5 of each province’s personal income tax (“PIT”) points and one corporate

income tax (“CIT”) point transferred to provinces in 1977-78 under the EPF arrangements. Beginning in 2007-08, CST total entitlements were allocated on an equal per capita cash basis. CHT entitlements will still be calculated using tax points until 2013-14.

CHST Supplements. Beginning in 1999-00, the Federal Government established a number of time-limited CHST Supplements to assist provinces and territories with the cost of delivering health care and other social programs. All CHST Supplements ended after 2005-06.

2004 First Ministers’ Health Care Announcement. At the September 2004 First Ministers’ Meeting, the Federal Government announced a funding framework that would provide $18 billion of funding for health care over six years. As part of this announcement, in 2008-09, Ontario will receive $235 million from the Wait Times Reduction Fund.

Other Federal Payments. In 2007-08, the Province received $4,332 million from the Federal Government for programs other than the CHT and CST.

In 2008-09, Ontario expects to receive a total of $3,749 million through other federal programs other than the CHT and CST, including $514 million for social housing, $259 million for infrastructure, $235 million from the Wait Times Reduction Fund and $2,741 million in other federal transfers.

In the 2006 federal budget, five federal trusts to be paid to provinces and territories were announced. Ontario’s annual allocation of funding from four of these trusts is $456 million in 2006-07, $456 million in 2007-08 and $223 million in 2008-09. In the 2007 federal budget, four trusts to be paid to provinces and territories were announced. Ontario’s annual allocation of funding from the four trusts is $876 million in 2007-08, $303 million in 2008-09 and $304 million in 2009-10. In the 2008 federal budget, the Federal Government announced the creation of an additional three trusts to be paid to provinces and territories. Ontario’s annual allocation of funding from the three trusts is $247 million in 2008-09, $248 million in 2009-10, $151 million in 2010-11 and $31 million in both 2011-12 and 2012-13. In addition to these trusts, the Federal Government increased funding to Ontario through increased funding for labour market training and infrastructure projects.

Fiscal Stabilization. An integral part of federal-provincial fiscal relations is the Federal Government’s obligation to protect provincial revenues. The Federal Government makes cash payments to any province if its revenue falls short of the previous year’s total by 5% or more due to a downturn in economic activity. The most recent payment to Ontario under this program was received in 1995-96 in respect of claims made up to and including the 1992-93 fiscal year.

(4) Expense

Overview

The following table provides an overview of the Province’s expense information for each of the fiscal years from 2004-05 to 2008-09. Beginning with the 2006 Ontario Budget, the presentation of expense changed to provide details on a total expense basis, rather than differentiating between operating and capital expense. Historical program expense figures for the Province of Ontario have been restated to reflect changes in the government’s ministry structure that occurred in fiscal year 2005-06.

(3)		The 2004-05 figure includes transfers under predecessor Community Reinvestment Fund.

Health Sector. The health sector is comprised of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ministry of Health Promotion. The Health sector is the largest single component of Provincial expense, accounting for a projected 42.1% of total expense in 2008-09. Ontario’s health care system is primarily funded by Provincial revenues. Major components of health expense include the net expense of operating public hospitals, payments to physicians and other health care practitioners, and prescription drug programs.

Education Sector. The Education sector consists of the Ministry of Education. The largest cost component is the net expense of school boards which receive substantial grants from the Province. Additional funding for public education is provided through local property taxes. Education Sector expense is projected to be 13.8% of total expense in 2008-09.

Postsecondary Education and Training Sector. This sector consists of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Major components of expense include operating grants to Universities, as well as the net expense of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology. The Postsecondary Education and Training Sector is projected to be 6.5% of total expense in 2008-09.

Children’s and Social Services Sector. This sector is comprised of the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. The Province provides a wide range of social services, including social assistance, drug benefits, childcare, child protection and developmental service programs. The Children’s and Social Services Sector is projected to be 12.3% of total expense in 2008-09.

Justice Sector. The Justice Sector is comprised of the Ministry of the Attorney General and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. The Justice Sector is projected to be 3.9% of total expense in 2008-09.

Other Programs Sector. All other expenses — excluding Interest on Debt — are included in the Other Program Sector, representing a projected 12.2% of total expense in 2008-09.

Interest on Debt. Interest on Debt represents a projected 9.2% of total expense in 2008-09.

(5) Outline of Principal Provincial Institutions

The Province has established a number of Crown corporations, which are primarily intended to provide goods and services needed to implement approved government policy and programs or to provide a regulatory function for operations authorized by government legislation. Among the more prominent Ontario Crown corporations are the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the Ontario Financing Authority, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the Ontario Securities Commission, the Ontario Infrastructure Projects Corporation and the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.

Until its restructuring in April 1999 and its continuation as Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (“OEFC”), Ontario Hydro had a mandate to generate and supply power in Ontario. For a description of Ontario Hydro, its restructuring and the operations of its successor companies, See “4. Public Debt — (2) Assets and Liabilities, (iii) Liabilities — Ontario Electricity Industry” below.

(6) Sinking Funds

The Province of Ontario does not have a sinking funds system.

4. PUBLIC DEBT


(1)	Debt

The Province has met its financing requirements through a combination of public borrowing, non-public borrowing and increases in cash and temporary investments. There is no constitutional limit on borrowing.

Publicly Held Debt

The majority of Ontario’s borrowing requirements are met through public market borrowing. See “4. Public Debt — (2) Assets and Liabilities — (iii) Liabilities — Publicly Held Debt” below.

Non-Public Debt

The Public Service Pension Plan (“PSPP”), the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (“OPSEU”) Pension Plan and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (“OTPP”). Prior to January 1, 1990, PSPP and OTPP were required to invest their net cash flow in debt issued by the Province. Legislation now allows these Plans to invest in public capital markets, and they are no longer a source of direct financing for the Province. The OPSEU Pension Plan was created in June 1994 through legislation dividing the PSPP and creating a separate plan for OPSEU members and for certain other unionized non-management employees. See “4. Public Debt — (2) Assets and Liabilities — (iii) Liabilities — Non-Public Debt” below.

The Canada Pension Plan (“CPP”) obtains monies from a compulsory national contributory pension plan in which all provinces other than Quebec participate. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investment Board”) is a Crown corporation managed independently of the CPP and at arm’s length from government and invests the funds not needed by CPP to pay current benefits in a diversified portfolio of assets. Prior to the creation of the CPP Investment Board, the net cash flows of the CPP were invested in non-marketable bonds issued by participating provinces, agents of the Crown and the Government of Canada. These investments have been transferred to the CPP Investment Board. The amount available to a province was based on the proportion of total contributions coming from that province. Provinces continue to have access to CPP funds and may elect to have the CPP Investment Board purchase a replacement debt security or securities in a total principal amount not exceeding the principal amount of the maturing security for a minimum term of 5 years and a maximum term of 30 years.

(2)	Assets and Liabilities


(i)	General

Two features of Ontario’s accounting and financing policies have a material effect on the reporting of assets and liabilities: the treatment of physical assets and the intermediary aspect of centralized financing.

Starting in 2002-03, major tangible capital assets owned by the Province (land, buildings and transportation infrastructure) are accounted for on a full accrual accounting basis. Other tangible capital assets owned by the Province will be reported in subsequent years.

The intermediary activity of borrowing on behalf of provincially created bodies creates assets and liabilities. These would not appear if the bodies were funded independently or through a provincial guarantee. This borrowing action increases the Province’s debt. The related asset arises because the government is funding, through loans and investments, expenses that are administered outside a government ministry.

Activities so funded are expected to generate sufficient return to repay the principal and interest. However, the recipients of the advances and investments are not always required to produce a profit, and some are not self-sustaining.

Cash and Temporary Investments

Temporary investments are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and are mainly marketable, short-term securities issued or guaranteed by Canadian chartered banks and the provincial and federal governments.

Between April 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008, the month-end level of cash and temporary investments varied from a low of approximately $5,638 million to a high of approximately $10,052 million. The cash and temporary investments are used to accommodate differences in revenue and expense flows during each fiscal year and to provide flexibility for debt management.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are recorded at cost. A valuation allowance is recorded when collection of the receivable is considered doubtful.

Loans Receivable and Other Assets

Investment in Government Business Enterprises

Investment in government business enterprises represents the net assets of government business enterprises recorded on the modified equity basis as described under Principles of Consolidation.

The activities of government business enterprises are recorded in the financial statements using the modified equity method. Under this method, government business enterprises are reported in accordance with

the accounting principles generally accepted for business enterprises. Their combined net assets are included in the financial statements as Investment in Government Business Enterprises on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and their combined net income is shown as a separate item, Income from Investment in Government Business Enterprises, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Net Assets of Broader Public Sector Organizations

The net assets of the broader public sector (BPS) organizations consist of tangible capital and financial assets of BPS organizations net of their liabilities. Although the assets of BPS organizations are consolidated, they are owned, managed and operated by BPS organizations. Tangible capital assets of hospitals and colleges are recorded at historical cost in their financial statements. Interest incurred during construction of major projects is capitalized and included in historical cost when specific project financing is provided. Although school boards do not presently record tangible capital assets in their financial statements, an adjustment is made upon consolidation to record the estimated historical cost of their land and building assets in the Province’s consolidated financial statements.

Tangible Capital Assets


(iii)	Liabilities

Overview

Liabilities include debt issued for Provincial purposes and for Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, pension liabilities for the Public Service Pension Plan, the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union (“OPSEU”) Pension Plan, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Power Purchase Contracts and other liabilities.

(2)		These are outstanding loans guaranteed and other contingencies as at March 31, 2008. In addition to the above reported obligations, the Province has entered into the following agreements:

		Social Housing Loan Insurance Agreements.

		For all non-profit housing projects in the provincial portfolio, the Province is liable to indemnify and reimburse the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) for any net costs, including any environmental liabilities, incurred as a result of project defaults through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing or the Ontario Housing Corporation. At March 31, 2008, there were $8.0 billion (2007, $8.3 billion) of mortgage loans outstanding. As operating subsidies provided by the Province are sufficient to ensure that all mortgage payments can be made when due, default is unlikely. To date, there have been no claims for defaults on insured mortgage loans.

		Ontario Nuclear Funds Agreement.

		See “4. Public Debt — (2) Assets and Liabilities, (iii) Liabilities — Ontario Electricity Industry” below.

Publicly Held Debt

Publicly held debt is debt issued to the general public. As at March 31, 2008, the total publicly held debt issued was $141,730 million, $116,990 million of which was issued in Canadian dollars (includes $5,092 million of treasury bills), $17,074 million in U.S. dollars (includes $644 million in U.S. commercial paper), $841 million in Japanese yen, $3,426 million in euros and $3,399 million in other currencies.

From April 1, 2008 through November 11, 2008, the Province announced public offerings of bonds and notes totaling approximately $21.2 billion of which $18.8 billion were for provincial purposes and $2.4 billion was debt incurred for the OEFC. The tables below provide a summary of the publicly held debt issued by the Province from April 1, 2008 through November 11, 2008 for provincial purposes.

Ontario Electricity Industry

Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (“OEFC”), a Crown agency, is the 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, 2008, OEFC had total debt of $28.239 billion (2007, $27.890), excluding short-term overnight lending from the Province. $18.9 billion of OEFC’s debt as at March 31, 2008 (2007, $17.6 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, and Hydro One Inc., (“Hydro One”), a transmission and distribution business, both of which are wholly-owned by the Province. In addition, the Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”) is the electricity

system and market operator and the Electrical Safety Authority 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 and the IESO in exchange for debt. The Province assumed a portion of OPG’s and Hydro One’s debt in exchange for equity, in order to provide them with commercially acceptable capital structures. As of March 31, 2008, OEFC held notes receivable in the amount of $3.7 billion from OPG, $78 million from the IESO and $8.9 billion from the Province.

Subject to a deductible of $10 million, OEFC has agreed to indemnify Hydro One in respect of (i) the failure of the Transfer Orders to transfer any asset, right or thing, or any interest therein related to its business; (ii) any adverse claims or interests, including those of the Crown, subject to certain exclusions, or any deficiency or lack of title in respect of any asset, right or thing or any interest therein, which was intended to be transferred; and (iii) the creation, treatment, payment to or from or other dealing with any equity account of Ontario Hydro, including with respect to certain litigation relating thereto. The Province has guaranteed the obligations of OEFC under the indemnity. A similar indemnity provided to OPG was terminated as of May 31, 2006.

The Electricity Act, 1998 (“Electricity Act”) defines “stranded debt” as the amount of OEFC’s debt and other liabilities that, in the opinion of the Minister of Finance, cannot reasonably be serviced and retired in a competitive electricity market. As of April 1, 1999, the Ministry of Finance estimated the stranded debt to be approximately $20.9 billion. OEFC’s unfunded liability is the net deficiency of OEFC’s assets over its liabilities. Unfunded liability represents the stranded debt adjusted for $1.5 billion of additional assets transferred to OEFC on April 1, 1999, at which time the unfunded liability was $19.433 billion. OEFC’s unfunded liability at March 31, 2008 is $17.225 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 and include payments-in-lieu of property taxes and federal and provincial corporate income and capital taxes paid by OPG, Hydro One and the municipal electric utilities.

The Province receives dividend payments on its investments in OPG and Hydro One. Pursuant to the government’s commitment to keep electricity income in the electricity sector, 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 is allocated to OEFC for purposes of debt retirement.

Residual stranded debt is the portion of OEFC’s stranded debt that cannot be serviced by the foregoing dedicated revenue streams. The residual stranded debt was estimated at $7.8 billion on April 1, 1999. The Electricity Act provides for a debt retirement charge of 0.7 cents per kilowatt hour to be levied on Ontario electricity users. This charge, collected by the IESO, distributors and retailers, is payable to OEFC until its residual stranded debt is retired.

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 large hydroelectric plants, and market prices. As of April 1, 2005, the Ontario Energy Board (“OEB”) sets the commodity price payable by low volume and designated consumers under the Regulated Price Plan (“RPP”). The Ontario Power Authority (“OPA”) 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.

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 and nuclear used fuel waste management.

Under ONFA, OPG is required to make quarterly payments to the funds that, together with income earned and a contribution made by OEFC, would cover all currently estimated costs. The Province is liable to make payments should the estimated costs 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 is updated periodically, to reflect new developments in the management of nuclear used fuel waste. Such an update was performed in 2006 and resulted in a lower estimate for eligible costs under ONFA for the management of the fixed volume of used fuel.

As well, under ONFA, the Province guarantees a return of 3.25% over the Ontario Consumer Price Index for the nuclear used fuel waste management fund for a fixed volume of used fuel. If the earnings on assets in that fund exceed the guaranteed rate, the Province is entitled to the excess.

Two agreements are in place to satisfy the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (“CNSC”) licensing requirements for financial guarantees in respect of OPG’s nuclear station decommissioning and nuclear waste management obligations. One agreement gives the CNSC access to the segregated funds established under ONFA. The other agreement provides a direct provincial guarantee to the CNSC on behalf of OPG. This guarantee, for up to $760 million, effective January 1, 2008, relates to the portion of the decommissioning and waste management obligations not funded by the value of the segregated funds at the time the Provincial guarantee level was reset. In return, the Province receives from OPG an annual fee equal to 0.5% of the direct provincial guarantee. The CNSC will review the requirement for a Provincial guarantee periodically.

Non-Public Debt

Non-public debt is debt issued to certain public sector pension plans or the Federal Government and its agencies. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 11% of total liabilities were in the form of non-public debt. Non-public debt is composed almost exclusively of debt to pension plans, the two largest components being Ontario Teachers’ Pension Fund debt (2.4% of total liabilities) and CPP debt (5.5% of total liabilities).

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities comprise transfer payments, interest on publicly held debt, salaries, wages, benefits, materials, supplies, and deferred revenue.

The remainder of Other Employee Future Benefits expense is included in the relevant ministries’ expenses in Schedule 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements 2007-2008.

Pensions

The Province sponsors several pension plans. It is the sole sponsor of the Public Service Pension Plan (“PSPP”) and joint sponsor of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (“OPSEU”) Pension Plan and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (“OTPP”).

These three plans are contributory defined benefit plans that provide Ontario government employees and elementary and secondary school teachers and administrators with a guaranteed amount of retirement income. Benefits are based primarily on the best five-year average salary of members and their length of service, and are indexed to changes in the Consumer Price Index to provide protection against inflation. Plan members normally contribute seven to nine per cent of their salary to these plans. The Province matches these contributions.

Funding of these plans is based on statutory actuarial funding valuations undertaken at least every three years. The Province contributed $809 million to OTPP in 2007-08 (2006-07, $797 million), $213 million (including $59 million special payment) to PSPP (2006-07, $218 million including $75 million special payment) and $153 million to OPSEU Pension Plan (2006-07, $143 million). During calendar year 2007, OTPP paid benefits, including transfers to other plans of $4.0 billion (2006, $3.8 billion), PSPP paid $856 million (2006, $822 million) and OPSEU Pension Plan paid $542 million (2006, $529 million). Under agreements between the Province and OPSEU, and between the Province and the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (“OTF”), gains and losses arising from statutory actuarial funding valuations are shared by the co-sponsors.

The government’s best estimate of the long-term annual inflation rate used in the pension and other employee future benefits calculations disclosed in these financial statements is 2.5%; the salary escalation rate is 3.5%; and the discount rate and expected rate of return on pension plan assets are 6.75% for OTPP, 6.5% for

PSPP and 6.75% for OPSEU Pension Plan. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over periods of 10 to 14 years.

The Province is also responsible for sponsoring the Ontario Teachers’ Retirement Compensation Arrangement and the Public Service Supplementary Benefits Plan. Expenses and liabilities of these plans are included in the Pensions Expense and Pensions Liability reported in the above tables.

Other Employee Future Benefits

Other Employee Future Benefits are non-pension retirement benefits, post-employment benefits and compensated absences. The discount rate used in the Other Employee Future Benefits (except retirement benefits) calculation for 2007-08 is 4.95% (2006-07, 4.90%).

Retirement Benefits

The Province provides dental, basic life insurance, supplementary health and hospital benefits to retired employees through a self-insured, unfunded defined benefit plan. The Province paid $127 million for benefits under the plan in 2007-08 (2006-07, $122 million). The liability for non-pension retirement benefits of $3.0 billion as at March 31, 2008 (2007, $2.7 billion) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Liability. The expense for 2007-08 of $400 million (2006-07, $385 million) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Expense.

The discount rate used in the other retirement benefits calculation for 2007-08 is 5.10% (2006-07, 5.10%).

Post-Employment Benefits

For employees who have completed five years of service, the Province provides termination pay equal to one week’s salary for each year of service up to a maximum of 50% of their annual salary. Employees who have completed one year of service but less than five years are also entitled to termination pay in the event of death, retirement or release from employment. The termination pay benefits are unfunded and are administered by the Province. The Province paid $46 million in termination pay in 2007-08 (2006-07, $48 million). The liability for termination pay of $859 million as at March 31, 2008 (2007, $834 million) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Liability. The expense for 2007-08 of $71 million (2006-07, $78 million) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Expense.

The Province also provides, on a self-insured basis, workers’ compensation benefits, long-term disability benefits and regular benefits to employees who are on long-term disability. The liability for workers’ compensation of $408 million as at March 31, 2008 (2007, $416 million) net of deposits of $1 million (2007, $2 million) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Liability. The expense for 2007-08 of $35 million (2006-07, $98 million), including a $43 million payment made in 2007-08 (2006-07, $42 million), is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Expense.

The unfunded liability for long-term disability benefits of $250 million as at March 31, 2008 (2007, $222 million) is net of deposits of $404 million (2007, $362 million), and is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Liability. The 2007-08 expense of $99 million (2006-07, $77 million) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Expense. A $72 million payment for long-term disability benefits was made in 2007-08 (2006-07, $64 million).

Other Liabilities

Other funds and liabilities include pension and benefit funds related to the Provincial Judges’ Pension Fund, the Public Service and the Deputy Ministers’ Supplementary Benefit Accounts, regulatory liabilities and externally restricted funds. Regulatory liabilities of $166 million and regulatory assets of $53 million are those of the Ontario Power Authority. They arise from the application of the Electricity Act, 1998 and regulations made under that act. These accounts can be an asset or a liability, depending on whether the actual energy cost is higher or lower than the regulated price.

Claims Against the Crown

Of the claims outstanding against the Crown in Right of Ontario as at March 31, 2008, 72 (2007, 73) were for amounts over $50 million as reported in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2007-2008 Public Accounts of Ontario. These claims arise from legal action, either in progress or threatened, in respect of aboriginal land claims, breach of contract, damages to persons and property and like items. As of December 10, 2008, there were 101 claims outstanding against the Crown in Right of Ontario, which were for amounts over $50 million each. The cost to the Province, if any, cannot be determined because the outcome of these actions is uncertain.

(3)	Consolidated Debt of the Ontario Public Sector

Overview

While centralized financing is prominent in Ontario, not all funding of the public sector is shown on the Province’s financial statements. Since the responsibilities assigned to the Canadian provinces by the Constitution are uniform (although not all provinces have chosen to assume the same set of responsibilities), interprovincial comparisons are more clearly facilitated by the presentation of the consolidated debt. This method of presenting public sector debt is not affected by the degree of centralization or decentralization of Provincial public sector financing. Included in the total is the debt of municipalities with separate revenue sources, and all of the sector’s revenue sources under provincial jurisdiction.

Risk Management and Derivative Financial Instruments

The Province employs various risk management strategies and operates within strict risk exposure limits to ensure exposure to risk is managed in a prudent and cost-effective manner. A variety of strategies are used, including the use of derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”).

Derivatives are financial contracts, the value of which is derived from underlying instruments. The Province uses derivatives to hedge and to minimize interest costs. Hedges are created primarily through swaps, which are legal contracts under which the Province agrees with another party to exchange cash flows based on one or more notional amounts using stipulated reference interest rates for a specified period. Swaps allow the Province to offset its existing obligations and thereby effectively convert them into obligations with more desirable characteristics. Other derivative instruments used by the Province include forward foreign exchange contracts, forward rate agreements, futures, options, caps and floors.

Foreign exchange or currency risk is the risk that foreign currency debt principal and interest payments and foreign currency transactions will vary in Canadian dollar terms due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. To manage currency risk, the Province uses derivative contracts including foreign exchange forward contracts, futures, options and swaps to convert foreign currency cash flows into Canadian dollar denominated cash flows. Most of the derivative contracts hedge the underlying debt by matching all the critical terms to achieve effectiveness. In the instances where the term of foreign exchange forward contracts used for hedging is shorter than the term of the underlying debt, the effectiveness is maintained by continuously rolling the foreign exchange forward contract over the remaining term of the underlying debt, or until replaced with a long-term derivative contract.

The current policy allows the amount of unhedged foreign currency debt principal net of foreign currency holdings to reach a maximum of 5% of Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC debt. At March 31, 2008, the respective unhedged levels were 0.6 and nil per cent (2007, 0.7 and nil per cent). For every one-cent increase in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, there would be an increase in the debt amount of $0.5 million (2007, $2.5 million) and an increase in Interest on Debt of $0.8 million (2007, $2.4 million). For every one Japanese yen decrease versus the Canadian dollar, there would be an increase in debt amount of $7.5 million (2007, $7.0 million) and an increase in Interest on Debt of $4.0 million (2007, $2.4 million). Total foreign exchange gains recognized in the Statement of Operations for 2007-08 were $131 million (2006-07, $127 million).

Interest on debt expense may also vary as a result of changes in interest rates. In respect of Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC debt, the risk is measured as interest rate resetting risk, which is the net of floating rate exposure, liquid reserves and fixed rate debt maturing within the next 12-month period as a percentage of Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC debt respectively. Depending on market conditions, the Province creates or reduces its exposure to interest rate changes by issuing or retiring short-term debt, or by entering into or closing out derivative positions. The current policy limits interest rate resetting risk for Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC to a maximum of 35%.

As at March 31, 2008, interest rate resetting risk for Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC debt was 15.6% and 23.6% respectively (2007, 15.3% and 14.4%). Based on floating rate interest-bearing financial instruments on hand at the balance sheet date plus planned refinancing of maturing debt in the coming year, a one per cent (100 basis points) increase in interest rates would result in an increase in Interest on Debt of $290 million (2007, $250 million).

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Province will not be able to meet its current short-term financial obligations. To reduce liquidity risk, the Province maintains liquid reserves, that is, cash and temporary investments, at levels that will meet future cash requirements and will give the Province flexibility in the timing of issuing debt. In addition, the Province has short-term note programs as alternative sources of liquidity.

The table below presents a maturity schedule of the Province’s derivatives, by type, outstanding as at March 31, 2008, based on the notional amounts of the contracts. Notional amounts represent the volume of outstanding derivative contracts and are not indicative of credit risk, market risk or actual cash flows.

The use of derivatives introduces credit risk, which is the risk of a counterparty defaulting on contractual derivative obligations in which the Province has an unrealized gain.

The table below presents the credit risk associated with the derivative financial instrument portfolio, measured through the replacement value of derivative contracts, at March 31, 2008.

Note:


(1)		Gross credit risk exposure is the gross credit exposure to counterparties with net positive exposures (that is, the Province has an unrealized gain).

(2)		“Netting” is the gross negative credit exposure to counterparties with net positive credit exposures covered by master agreements providing for close out netting when contracts do not have co-terminus settlement dates.

The Province manages its credit risk exposure from derivatives by, among other things, dealing only with high credit quality counterparties and regularly monitoring compliance to credit limits. In addition, the Province enters into contractual agreements (“master agreements”) that provide for termination netting and, if applicable, payment netting with most of its counterparties. Gross credit risk exposure represents the loss that the Province would incur if every counterparty to which the Province had credit risk exposure were to default at the same time, and the contracted netting provisions were not exercised or could not be enforced. Net credit risk exposure is the loss including the mitigating impact of these netting provisions.
