Net Debt is calculated as the difference between liabilities and financial assets. Starting in 2009-10, Net Debt includes the net debt of hospitals, school boards and colleges (“BPS”) as a result of change in the method of consolidation. The annual change in Net Debt is equal to the surplus/deficit of the Province plus the change in tangible capital assets, and, effective April 1, 2007, the change in the fair value of the Ontario Nuclear Funds.

(4)

Accumulated Deficit is calculated as the difference between liabilities and total assets, including tangible capital assets. The annual change in Accumulated Deficit is equal to the surplus/deficit plus, effective April 1, 2007, of the change in the fair value of the Ontario Nuclear Funds. The change in the Accumulated Deficit in 2009-10 included an adjustment to school boards minor capital assets, and in 2011-12 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and Public Sector Accounting Board (“PSAB”) transitional impact.

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 July 1, 2013 was 13.5 million, or 38.5% of Canada’s population of 35.2 million. Since 1993, the populations of Ontario and Canada have increased at average annual rates of 1.2% and 1.0%, respectively. Although it constitutes only 12% of the area of the Province, southern Ontario is home to approximately 94.1% of its population (as of July 1, 2012). The population of the Greater Toronto Area, the largest metropolitan area in Canada, was estimated to be 6.4 million on July 1, 2012.

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 6, 2011. The Ontario Liberal Party currently has 49 seats in the Legislative Assembly, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario has 37 seats, the New Democratic Party of Ontario has 20 seats and there is 1 vacant 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 2012 was $674,485 million, representing 37.1% of the Canadian GDP. Personal disposable income per capita in 2012 was $29,538, 0.9% below 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.

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

Total Gross Fixed Capital Formation

In 2012, total gross fixed capital formation was $136,314 million, or 20.2% of GDP, up 3.5% from $131,719 million in 2011.

Business gross fixed capital formation in 2012 was $106,887 million. This accounted for 78.4% of total gross fixed capital formation and 15.8% of GDP at current market prices.

Exports and Imports

In 2012, Ontario’s exports of goods and services totaled $343,073 million, the equivalent of 50.9% of Ontario’s nominal GDP, of which 64.6% were international exports and 35.4% were interprovincial exports. By comparison, Ontario international exports represented 40.5% of Canada’s total exports. Ontario’s imports of goods and services totalled $347,761 million in 2012, resulting in a negative overall trade balance of $4,688 million.

Ontario’s international goods exports include motor vehicles and parts, which accounted for 36.9% of the total value of international merchandise exports in 2012; energy and mining related products such as metal and non-metallic minerals and products, which accounted for 21.3%; consumer goods such as food, beverages, furniture, drugs and clothing, which accounted for 12.7%; capital equipment such as industrial machinery and electronic and electrical equipment and parts, which accounted for 11.7%; basic and industrial chemical, plastic and rubber products, which accounted for 7.7%; agricultural and forestry products, which accounted for 6.0%; and aircraft and other transportation equipment and parts, which accounted for 2.8%.

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. The 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 (incorporating the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) 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 increased 0.6% (2.4% annualized) in the second quarter of 2013, measured in chained 2007 dollars, after a 0.2% increase in the first quarter. In current dollars, nominal GDP rose by 0.4% in the second quarter.

Final domestic demand advanced by 0.3% (1.4% annualized) in real terms in the second quarter of 2013.

Over the first eleven months of 2013, Ontario employment is up by 102,900 jobs or 1.5%, compared to the same period in 2012. The unemployment rate was 7.2% in November 2013.

In October 2013, the Ontario Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increased 0.9% from a year earlier.

Ontario Economic Outlook: 2013 to 2016

The 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, released on November 7, 2013, presented the forecast for the Ontario economy for 2013 to 2016. For planning purposes, the Ministry of Finance is assuming real GDP growth of 1.3% in 2013, 2.1% in 2014 and 2.5% in both 2015 and 2016. These projections, finalized on October 24, 2013, were more conservative than the average private-sector forecast at that time. Ontario’s nominal GDP is expected to increase by 2.5% in 2013, 3.8% in 2014 and 4.3% in both 2015 and 2016.

Inflation is expected to remain subdued over the forecast horizon. Ontario’s CPI inflation rate is projected to be 1.1% in 2013, 1.8% in 2014 and 2.0% per year in 2015 and 2016.

External factors have a significant bearing on the performance of the Ontario economy and deviations from their projected path can impact the Province’s economic growth. The forecast in the 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review is based on reasonable, external forecasts regarding key exogenous factors for the Ontario economy, particularly U.S. economic growth, the exchange rate, interest rates and oil prices.

The strength and composition of the U.S. economy are key determinants of the pace of growth in Ontario. The U.S. economy is Ontario’s largest export market. At the time of the 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, economists projected U.S. real GDP to grow by 1.6% in 2013, 2.6% in 2014, 2.9% in 2015 and 2.8% in 2016.

The exchange rate is forecast to average 97.4 cents US in 2013, 96.5 cents US in 2014 and 97.0 cents US in both 2015, and 2016. The Canadian three-month Treasury bill rate is projected to average 1.0% in 2013, 1.1% in 2014, 1.9% in 2015 and 2.8% in 2016. Ten-year Government of Canada bond yields are forecast to average of 2.3% in 2013, 3.0% in 2014, 3.3% in 2015 and 3.8% in 2016. These exchange rate and interest rate assumptions were in line with private-sector forecasts at the time of the 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review. For planning purposes, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil is forecast to average $99 US per barrel in 2013, $98 US in 2014 and $96 US in both 2015 and 2016.

(3) Structure of the Economy

Secondary Industries

Manufacturing. Ontario is Canada’s leading manufacturing province. In 2012, Ontario’s manufacturing volume of output (measured in chained 2007 dollars) totaled about $77 billion, or 46% of the national total. The contribution of manufacturing output to Ontario’s total GDP (measured in chained 2007 dollars) was 13%.

Transportation equipment is Ontario’s largest manufacturing industry measured by output. In 2012, output in this sector totalled $18.8 billion, or approximately 24% of total Ontario manufacturing output. In 2012, Ontario accounted for over 90% of Canadian-manufactured motor vehicles, parts and accessories GDP. Ontario’s international trade surplus in automotive products was $902 million in 2012. Capital investment in Ontario’s transportation equipment industry totaled $1.5 billion in 2012 and capital investment intentions for 2013, according to Statistics Canada data, are $1.6 billion.

In 2012, 58.1% of the value of Canada’s computer, electronic and electrical product and components manufacturing sectors was produced in Ontario. A number of firms with worldwide reputations in the design, manufacture and distribution of high technology products are based in the Province.

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 little change in investment with total construction expected to edge down 0.6% in 2013 to $75.3 billion.

Business construction is expected to decline by 0.4%, while government and institutional expenditures are expected to advance by 2.5%. In 2013, capital spending intentions on housing construction constitutes the largest share, representing 50.8% 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 (less direct payments), was valued at $12.0 billion in 2012, or 23.7% of the Canadian total. Of this, total livestock and livestock products receipts were $5.3 billion and crop receipts were $6.7 billion.

Forestry. Ontario has about 56.0 million hectares of productive forestland representing 52.0% of Ontario’s total land area. Timber harvests amounted to approximately 13.0 million cubic meters in 2010-2011. The value of revenues from goods produced in the primary forest industry as well as the various wood and paper manufacturing industries in the Province totaled $10.9 billion in 2011, and equaled 20.4% of the Canadian total.

Energy

For 2011, the preliminary data on the composition of Ontario’s primary energy consumption was the following: crude oil 34.1%, natural gas and liquids 44.9%, coal 7.2% and electricity 13.8%.

Total primary energy consumption was 2,840 petajoules in 2011, an increase of 18.6% from 2,394 petajoules in 2009. Data was unavailable for 2010. Consumption of crude oil, natural gas and liquids, coal, and primary electricity changed by 35.2%, 19.0%, -0.1% and -2.3% respectively from 2009 to 2011.

Service Sector

The service sector is the largest component of Ontario’s economy, accounting for approximately 77% of Ontario’s GDP (measured in chained 2007 dollars) in 2012. Ontario has a modern and diversified services sector. It includes a wide variety of industries serving businesses, individuals and governments.

The finance, insurance and the real estate, renting and leasing sectors are the largest component of Ontario’s service sector output. In 2012, Ontario’s share accounted for 43.6% of Canada’s finance, insurance, real estate and renting and leasing 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 $1.2 trillion dollars in 2012.

Ontario also has strong professional, management and administrative output, accounting for 43.7% of the Canadian total. Wholesale and retail trade help support the spending of business and consumers, including investment and imports. Ontario accounts for 40.0% of Canada’s wholesale and retail trade output and 42.9% of Canada’s information and cultural services.

(4) Labour Force

From 2008 to 2012, Ontario’s labour force increased at an average annual rate of 1.0%, slightly below the Canadian rate of 1.1%. During 2012, the Ontario labour force averaged approximately 7.4 million persons. In 2012, the Ontario participation rate was 66.5%, slightly below the Canadian rate of 66.7%. Reflecting the industrial structure of the Province, 98.6% of employment was in the non-agricultural sector. The service sector, which has been a major source of employment growth, accounted for 79.0% of Ontario’s employment, while manufacturing and construction accounted for 18.2% and agriculture, utilities and other primary industries accounted for 2.8%. In 2012, the Ontario unemployment rate averaged 7.8%, while the national rate averaged 7.2%.

(5) Social Security System

The Province provides a wide range of health care, social services and income security assistance to Ontarians. Until fiscal year 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 2012, Ontario residents received about $17.6 billion in payments from the CPP and about $5.9 billion in payments from EI. Both of these programs are financed through mandatory contributions paid by employers and employees. 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 income-tested support for qualifying senior citizens aged 65 and above through Old Age Security (“OAS”) pensions, and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (“GIS”) program, and for qualifying persons aged 60-64 provides either the Allowance or the Allowance for the Survivor. 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 2012, seniors in Ontario received a total of about $14.8 billion from these three federal programs and about $120 million from GAINS. The Ontario Senior Homeowners’ Property Tax Grant (“OSHPTG”) assists eligible low- to moderate-income seniors, who own their homes, to offset their property taxes through grants of up to $500 for 2010 and subsequent years. The 2013 OSHPTG is estimated to provide about $210 million in benefits to Ontario seniors.

The federal government provides cash transfers to families raising children. The Canada Child Tax Benefit (“CCTB”) and the related National Child Benefit Supplement (“NCBS”) and Children Disability Benefit (“CDB”) are non-taxable income-tested federal cash benefits provided to low- and middle-income families with children under the age of 18. In the 2012-13 benefit year (July 2012 to June 2013) Ontario families received about $3.7 billion in benefits from these programs. The federal government also provides the Universal Child Care Benefit (“UCCB”). The UCCB is a taxable cash benefit provided to all children under age six. In 2010-11, which is the most recent data available, Ontario families received an estimated $1 billion in benefits from the UCCB. These benefits are provided to families regardless of whether they work or receive social assistance. These benefits are delivered through the tax system.

The Ontario Child Benefit (“OCB”) is a non-taxable income-tested provincial cash benefit provided to low- to moderate-income families with children under the age of 18. The OCB provided almost $914 million in benefits to families in 2012-13. The OCB is provided to families regardless of whether they work or receive social assistance. It is delivered through the tax system. The OCB streamlined the child benefit system by consolidating the previous provincial children’s benefits into one integrated benefit.

Ontario also provides sales tax and property tax relief to low- to moderate-income people through refundable tax credits. Starting with 2010, two new Ontario tax credits, the Ontario Sales Tax Credit (“OSTC”) and the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit (“OEPTC”) replaced the combined Ontario property and sales tax credits. The OSTC provides sales tax relief and the OEPTC provides relief for the sales tax on energy and for property taxes to individuals and families.

In 2010, Ontario also introduced the refundable Northern Ontario Energy Credit (“NOEC”) which provides assistance with the higher energy costs that low- to moderate-income families and single people living in the North face compared to those living in other parts of the province.

Since July 2012, the OEPTC, OSTC and NOEC payments have been combined and delivered on a monthly basis as the Ontario Trillium Benefit (“OTB”). The 2013 OTB will provide an estimated $2.5 billion in assistance to low- to moderate-income people.

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. Social assistance costs are shared between the Province and municipalities. The Province pays one hundred per cent of Ontario Disability Support Program (“ODSP”) costs (including both assistance and administration costs), about eighty-three per cent of Ontario Works (“OW”) assistance costs, fifty per cent of OW administration costs and one hundred per cent of drug benefits for all social assistance recipients. In 2012-13, the Province provided an estimated $7.7 billion through social assistance and related programs.

(6) Government Responsibilities and Relationships

Constitutional Framework

Canada is a federation and its constitution (“Constitution”) establishes the division of responsibilities between the federal and provincial levels of government. Each provincial government and the federal government has 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 provincial governments’ delivery of services in areas such as health, postsecondary education and social assistance has been supported by transfer payments from the federal government, often established through federal-provincial agreements. In fiscal year 2013-14, approximately 19.2% of the Province’s revenue is expected to come from federal transfers.

Federal-provincial funding arrangements can be complex and extensive, involving financial relationships 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.

Investing in provincially-created bodies has an impact on the reporting of assets. As at March 31, 2013, approximately 23.4% (2012, 25.0%) 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 by the Government of Ontario in compliance with legislation and 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 financial statements report the activities of the Consolidated Revenue Fund combined with those organizations that are controlled by the Province.

Government business enterprises, significant broader public sector (BPS) organizations (i.e., hospitals, school boards and colleges) and other government organizations controlled by the Province are included in the financial statements. Controlled organizations are consolidated if 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 revenue, deficit or surplus are greater than $10 million. However, in accordance with PSAB, the Province also applies the “benefit versus cost constraint” in determining which organizations should be consolidated in the Province’s financial statements. A listing of consolidated government organizations is provided in Schedule 8 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13.

The activities of organizations that do not meet the materiality thresholds for consolidation or that do not meet the PSAB “benefit versus cost constraint,” such as Children’s Aid Societies and Community Care Access Centres, are reflected in these financial statements through the accounts of the ministries responsible for them.

Trusts administered by the Province on behalf of other parties are excluded from the reporting entity but are disclosed in Note 14 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13.

Principles of Consolidation

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 net income is shown as a separate item, Income from Investment in Government Business Enterprises, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The assets and liabilities of the BPS organizations are consolidated with those of the Province on a line-by-line basis on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As such, the net debt of hospitals, school boards and colleges is included in the consolidated net debt of the Province. The total annual expenses of these BPS organizations, net of revenues they receive directly from the public, such as tuition fees, patient fees, donations and other recoveries, are included with the consolidated expenses of the Province. The expenses of hospitals are included with Health expenses, school boards with Education expenses, and colleges with Post-Secondary Education and Training expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Where necessary, adjustments are made to present the accounts of these organizations on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Province, and to eliminate significant inter-organizational accounts on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and to remove inter-organizational gains/losses from the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Other government organizations are included on a line-by-line basis with the consolidated assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Province. Where necessary, adjustments are also made to present the accounts of these organizations on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Province, and to eliminate significant inter-organizational accounts and transactions.

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 the financial statements and notes thereto exists in the valuation of pensions and other employee future benefits obligations, the value of tangible capital assets, the estimation of personal income tax, corporations tax and harmonized sales tax revenue accruals, and the valuation of the Canada Health Transfer and Canada Social Transfer entitlements.

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 income tax, corporations tax and harmonized sales tax revenues arises due to possible subsequent revisions of estimates based on information available in the future related to 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 corporations tax base and population.

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. By their very nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty. Therefore, actual results may differ from the government’s estimates.

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 expenses occur and resources are consumed.

Transfer payments are recognized in the year that the transfer is authorized and all eligibility criteria have been met by the recipient. Any transfers paid are deemed to have met all eligibility criteria.

Interest on debt includes: 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) debt servicing costs 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, transportation infrastructure, vehicles, aircraft, leased assets, machinery, equipment and information technology infrastructure and systems owned by the Province and its consolidated organizations are amortized and recognized as expenses over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

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 obligations to make transfer payments to organizations and individuals, 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.

Deferred revenue represents unspent externally restricted receipts from the federal government or other third parties. Amounts received prior to year-end that relate to funding for a subsequent fiscal year are reported as deferred revenue. Deferred revenues are recorded into revenue in the period in which the amounts received are used for the purposes specified or all external restrictions are satisfied. Deferred capital contributions represent the unamortized amount of contributions received from the federal government and other third parties to construct or acquire tangible capital assets. These contributions are recognized as deferred capital contributions and recorded into revenue over the useful life of the tangible capital assets based on the relevant stipulations of the contributions taken together with the actions and communications of the Province.

Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) refers to the Province using private-sector partners to procure and finance infrastructure assets. Assets procured via AFP are recognized as tangible capital assets and the related obligations are recognized as other long-term financing liabilities in the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13, as the assets are constructed.

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 is translated to Canadian dollars at year-end rates of exchange and any exchange gains or losses are amortized over the remaining term to maturity.

Derivatives are financial contracts, the value of which is derived from underlying instruments. The Province uses derivatives for the purpose of managing risk associated with interest cost. The Province does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. 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.

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 has reasonable expectation of deriving future benefit. 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 and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, loans receivable, advances, and investments in government business enterprises.

Investments include temporary investments, investments in the auto sector, asset-backed term notes and portfolio investments. Temporary investments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. Investments in the auto sector, asset-backed term notes and portfolio investments are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated net realizable value.

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

Loans receivable include loans to government business enterprises and loans under the student loans program, advanced manufacturing investment program, and the automotive investment strategy fund. Loans receivable with significant concessionary terms are considered in part to be 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 or when the concession is provided. The amount of the loan discount is amortized to revenue over the term of the loan.

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.

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, as well as interest related to financing during construction. 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.

deferred capital contributions and amortized to revenue consistent with the amortization to expense of the related tangible capital assets, reflecting the intent of the external contributors that the grants be used to construct or acquire assets that will provide public services over the useful lives of the underlying assets.

Future Changes in Accounting Standards

PSAB 3450 – Financial Instruments and PSAB 2601 – Foreign Currency Translation

PSAB has introduced new sections on Financial Instruments and Foreign Currency Translation that categorize items to be accounted for at either fair value, cost or amortized cost. Fair value measurement applies to derivatives and portfolio investments in equity instruments that are quoted in an active market. Other financial assets and financial liabilities will generally be measured at cost or amortized cost. Until an item is derecognized (for example, through disposition), any gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value (remeasurements) will be reported in the Statement of Remeasurement Gains and Losses. Under PSAB, senior governments are required to adopt these standards in fiscal year 2015–16 or earlier. The Province is currently assessing the impact of these standards on its financial statements and will provide input to PSAB’s review of the standard planned for completion by December 2013.

PSAB 3260 – Liabilities for Contaminated Sites

During 2009–10, PSAB published a new standard on Liabilities for Contaminated Sites that provides additional guidance on how to apply the standard for liabilities (PSAB 3200) when it relates to environmental contamination of land. The new standard will apply to fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2014. The Ministry of Finance is currently working with relevant ministries to assess the effects of this new standard. The impact of any changes on the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements is not reasonably determinable at this time.

Future Decision on Rate Regulated Entities

The financial results of Ontario Power Generation Inc. and Hydro One Inc. are prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis, but are consolidated in the Province’s financial statements on a Canadian GAAP basis, both bases reflecting rate regulated accounting. In December 2009, PSAB approved a standard requiring that government business enterprises adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. As a result of concerns raised by the rate regulated sector, the IFRS implementation date for entities with qualifying rate regulated activities was extended by the Accounting Standards Board to January 1, 2015, while standard setters assess the requirements for rate regulated accounting.

PSAB/AcSB Statement of Principles on Not-for-Profit Accounting

In December 2010, not-for-profit accounting standards were incorporated into PSAB standards for use by government not-for-profit organizations for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. In April 2013, AcSB and the Public Sector Accounting Board issued a joint Statement of Principles on Improvements to the Not-for-Profit Standards that proposes to change the way not-for-profit organizations recognize revenue, report controlled organizations, and record other activities. The Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements may be affected by any changes in the standards to the extent that government organizations are impacted by any final changes. The Ministry of Finance will continue to consult with consolidated entities and their respective ministries to identify concerns and comments to share with standard setters.

Concepts Underlying Financial Performance

PSAB is currently in the process of revisiting its conceptual framework. The conceptual framework establishes principles for the development of standards used for financial reporting by governments. The conceptual framework is important to ensure public sector standards appropriately reflect the economic substance of government transactions and to support transparency and accountability in public sector reporting. PSAB expects to complete its review by 2016.

Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation Changes

During the fiscal period, many consolidated government organizations reporting on a not-for-profit basis were required by PSAB to implement changes to the standards they follow. These changes more effectively aligned their standards with those followed by governments. The change, which primarily impacts the accounting for pension and other employee future benefits by consolidated government organizations, has resulted in an adjustment to the opening net debt, accumulated deficit and other liabilities of $141 million.

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 2013-14

2013-14 In-year Fiscal Performance

The deficit for 2013–14 is currently projected to be $11.7 billion, on track with the 2013 Budget forecast and more than $1.0 billion ahead of the deficit projection for 2013–14 outlined in the 2012 Budget. Despite slower economic growth in 2013 and 2014, revenues are on track with the 2013 Budget projection.

Similarly, expense is on track with the 2013 Budget projection, reflecting the government’s commitment to manage spending. The 2013–14 program expense outlook is essentially unchanged from the 2013 Budget projection and is also consistent with the 2012 Budget projection, which forecasted program expense of $117.0 billion in 2013–14.

¹ Beginning July 1, 2010, the Retail Sales Tax was replaced with a value-added tax and combined with the federal Goods and Services Tax to create a federally administered Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Sales Tax revenue is net of the Ontario Sales Tax Credit and the energy component of the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit.

² Education Property Tax revenue is net of the property tax credit component of the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit and the Ontario Senior Homeowners Property Tax Grant.

³ Miscellaneous Other Non-Tax Revenue in 2011-12 is higher than in other years due to one-time revenues including Chrysler’s repayment of an Ontario loan and higher-than-usual recoveries of prior-year expenditures from government ministries.

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. It is collected by the Canada Revenue Agency on Ontario’s behalf.

Ontario basic PIT is calculated as a percentage of taxable income, as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The tax rates for 2013 are as follows: 5.05% of the first $39,723 of taxable income, plus 9.15% of any portion of taxable income between $39,723 and $79,448, plus 11.16% of any portion of taxable income between $79,448 and $509,000, plus 13.16% of any portion of taxable income over $509,000.

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 and gifts) at the rate of 5.05% for 2013 (11.16% for charitable donations and gifts in excess of $200), before the calculation of the surtax and the Ontario Tax Reduction (“OTR”).

Ontario applies a surtax on taxpayers with higher incomes. For the 2013 taxation year, the surtax is equal to 20% of Ontario’s basic PIT in excess of $4,289, plus an additional 36% of Ontario’s basic PIT in excess of $5,489.

The OTR can eliminate Ontario PIT if the Ontario PIT is below a threshold amount. If Ontario PIT exceeds the threshold amount, the individual may be eligible to pay a reduced amount of Ontario tax. For 2013, the basic threshold amount is $221 and the additional amount for each dependent child and each disabled or infirm dependant is $409.

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 a taxable income of $72,600, and the maximum annual OHP amount of $900 is reached at a taxable income of $200,600.

The Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”) is a federally administered value-added tax levied in Ontario. The HST generally follows the same rules and tax base as the federal Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) at a combined federal-provincial rate of 13%. The provincial portion of the HST is 8% and the federal portion is 5%. The federal government is responsible for the collection of the HST. HST revenues are distributed to the Province based on a revenue allocation formula. As with the federal GST, businesses selling taxable or zero-rated goods and services are able to claim input tax credits on their purchases, with limited exceptions.

Retail Sales Tax. Ontario continues to apply RST, at a rate of 8% to certain insurance premiums and at a rate of 13% to private transfers of used vehicles. Upon the proclamation of certain amendments, the Retail Sales Tax Act would provide for a tax on transient accommodation at a regionally based rate, not exceeding 3%.

Corporate Income Tax. The Province taxes corporate income allocated to Ontario. All corporations carrying on business in Ontario, with a permanent establishment in Ontario, are subject to corporate income tax (“CIT”). Each corporation within a corporate group is taxed separately. The CIT is collected by the Canada Revenue Agency on Ontario’s behalf.

The general CIT rate of 14% was reduced to 12% on July 1, 2010 and to 11.5% on July 1, 2011. The general CIT rate was scheduled to be further reduced to 11% on July 1, 2012 and to 10% on July 1, 2013, but the 2012 Budget announced the general CIT rate would be frozen at 11.5% until Ontario’s budget is balanced in 2017-18. The Manufacturing and Processing (“M&P”) CIT rate was reduced from 12% to 10% on July 1, 2010. The M&P CIT rate applies to income from manufacturing and processing, mining, logging, fishing and farming.

The small business deduction provides a preferential CIT rate of 4.5% to Canadian-controlled private corporations on the first $500,000 of active business income. On July 1, 2010 the small business CIT rate was reduced from 5.5% to 4.5%. Prior to July 1, 2010 the benefit of the lower small business CIT rate was phased out for corporations with taxable income between $500,000 and $1,500,000 by the 4.25% small business deduction surtax, applied in addition to the regular CIT rates. This phase-out of the small business deduction was eliminated effective July 1, 2010.

Ontario provides assistance for scientific research and experimental development (“SR&ED”) activities through: (1) a 10% refundable innovation tax credit for qualified SR&ED expenditures by small and medium-sized corporations; (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 4.5% non-refundable tax credit on qualifying SR&ED expenditures in Ontario.

The Province provides an Ontario Resource Tax Credit, a non-refundable tax credit available where a corporation’s notional resource allowance (25% of resource profits) exceeds the amount paid with respect to Crown royalties and mining taxes.

Ontario provides corporations established after March 24, 2008 and before March 25, 2012 that commercialize intellectual property developed at qualifying Canadian universities, colleges or research institutes, with a refund of CIT paid in their first 10 taxation years.

Ontario provides a number of refundable tax credits on expenses for certain other corporate activities carried out in Ontario: a 35% to 45% apprenticeship tax credit for hiring qualifying apprentices, a 25% to 30% 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 35% to 40% interactive digital media tax credit; and a 20% sound recording tax credit. Effective July 1, 2010, the small beer manufacturers’ tax credit provides a maximum tax credit of $2,499,500 for eligible non-draft or $1,824,500 for eligible draft beer sales in Ontario.

A corporation, or an associated group, with total assets over $50 million and total revenues over $100 million is subject to a corporate minimum tax (“CMT”). The CMT is applied at a rate of 2.7% on adjusted accounting income and is reduced by regular CIT payable in the year. CMT generally acts as a prepayment of CIT by providing for a carry-forward credit equal to the amount of CMT paid. The credit can be carried forward up to 20 years and may be applied to reduce CIT in years where CIT exceeds CMT. On July 1, 2010, the CMT rate was reduced from 4% to 2.7%. For taxation years ending after June 30, 2010, the exemption thresholds were increased so a corporation or an associated group with under $50 million in total assets or under $100 million in annual gross revenue would not pay CMT. For taxation years ending before July 1, 2010, a corporation or an associated group with under $5 million in total assets and under $10 million in annual gross revenue would not pay CMT.

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 eliminated capital tax on July 1, 2010. Prior to July 1, 2010, the Province levied a capital tax on taxable capital allocated to Ontario. The first $15 million of a corporation or associated group’s taxable capital was exempt from the tax. The capital tax rate for corporations other than financial institutions was 0.15% for 2010 until the elimination date. Capital tax generally applied to corporations that are financial institutions at a two-tier rate. For 2010, the rate was 0.3% on a financial institution’s first $400 million of adjusted taxable capital until the elimination date. Non-deposit taking financial institutions with taxable capital over $400 million were subject to capital tax at the rate of 0.36% in 2010 until the elimination date. Deposit taking financial institutions with taxable capital over the $400 million threshold were subject to capital tax at the rate of 0.45% in 2010 until the elimination date. Certain financial institutions were able to reduce capital tax liability by making eligible investments in Ontario small businesses under the Small Business Investment Tax Credit for Financial Institutions. Prior to the full elimination of capital tax on July 1, 2010, certain entities such as credit unions, deposit insurance corporations, family farm and fishing corporations were exempt from paying capital tax. Capital tax was eliminated for manufacturing and resource firms effective January 1, 2007.

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. After the tax exemption, the profits from remote mines are taxed at a rate of 5%.

Diamond Royalty. The profit-based diamond royalty has a graduated rate structure starting at 5% and an overall maximum rate of 13%. Ontario has introduced special deductions that could result in an effective diamond royalty rate ranging from 4% to 10.4%. The effective royalty rate could be reduced even further with investments in aboriginal or northern communities.

Employer Health Tax. Ontario levies an employer health 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 exceeding $200,000 and up to $400,000 calculate this tax at graduated rates from 1.101% to 1.829%. Employers with total annual Ontario remuneration in excess of $400,000 calculate the tax at a rate of 1.95%. An exemption from the tax is provided to certain employers such as private sector employers on the first $400,000 of total annual Ontario remuneration.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Employer Health Tax exemption will be increased from $400,000 to $450,000 of annual Ontario remuneration and will be adjusted for inflation every five years using the Ontario Consumer Price Index. To better target the exemption to smaller employers, it will be eliminated for employers with annual Ontario remuneration over $5 million. Registered charities with annual Ontario remuneration over $5 million will continue to claim the exemption.

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 exceeding $55,000 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 and 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.

Beer and Wine Tax. Starting on July 1, 2010, beer and wine taxes imposed under Part II of the Alcohol and Gaming Regulation and Public Protection Act, 1996 came into effect. These taxes replace certain fees imposed on Ontario beer and wine manufacturers. These taxes apply to Ontario wine purchased at retail stores operated by wineries and to Ontario beer purchased from the Beer Store, a licensed establishment or on-site manufacturer’s store.

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 taxable 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 19.2% of the Province’s revenue in fiscal year 2013-14, or $22,475 million, will be received through cash payments from the federal government. These federal revenues in 2013-14 reflect an increase of $814 million, from $21,661 million in 2012-13. Federal payments are intended to assist the Province in providing services in areas of provincial jurisdiction, or in some cases, where there is a national interest in the provision of federal support.

Canada Health Transfer and Canada Social Transfer. 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 and postsecondary education and other social programs, respectively. In 2013-14, CHT and CST payments to Ontario are expected to total $16,794 million, including $12,067 million in CHT and $4,727 million in CST.

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. In May 2013, a private member’s bill was introduced in the House of Commons to amend the federal legislation governing CST. The amendment would revise the requirement for provinces to not apply residency requirements to apply only for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The process to pass the bill was reinstated in October 2013, when the House of Commons resumed.

Equalization is the Government of Canada’s transfer program for addressing fiscal disparities among provinces. Equalization payments are unconditional — receiving provinces are free to spend the funds according to their own priorities. Ontario has qualified for an Equalization payment of $3,169 million in 2013-14.

In 2013-14, Ontario expects to receive a total of $2,512 million through federal programs other than the CHT, CST and Equalization, including $145 million for infrastructure, $905 million for labour market training, $468 million for social housing, $97 million from the Wait Times Reduction Fund and $897 million in other federal transfers.

Other Revenue

In 2013-14, 10.8% of revenue is expected from sources other than taxation or Government of Canada transfers. This category includes the net income of provincially-owned business enterprises such as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, Hydro One Inc. and the Ontario Power Generation Inc. Also included are various Non-Tax revenues such as Vehicle and Driver Registration Fees, Sales and Rentals, Royalties and Reimbursements of provincial spending on various services, largely from municipalities.

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% of total expense in 2013-14.

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, child protection and developmental service programs. The children’s and social services sector is projected to be 11% of total expense in 2013-14.

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% of total expense in 2013-14.

Other Programs Sector. All other expenses — excluding Interest on Debt — are included in the Other Program Sector, representing a projected 15% of total expense in 2013-14.

Interest on Debt. Interest on Debt represents a projected 8% of total expense in 2013-14.

(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 and Lands Corporation and the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission¹.

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.

Ontario Northland Transportation Commission no longer meets the criteria for classification as a government business enterprise.

On March 23, 2012, the Province announced that it was beginning the process of selling the business lines operated by the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.

(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 drawdown of 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

Non-public debt includes Public Service Pension Plan (“PSPP”), Ontario Public Service Employees Union (“OPSEU”) Pension Plan and 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 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. 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. During fiscal year 2009-10, the Province extended its accounting policy for tangible capital assets in accordance with PSAB standards to include building leasehold improvements, assets acquired through capital leases, vehicles, aircraft and information technology infrastructure and systems.

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 Investments

Investments include temporary investments, investments in the auto sector, asset-backed term notes, and portfolio investments. Temporary investments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. Investments in the auto sector, asset-backed term notes and portfolio investments are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated net realizable value.

Between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013, the month-end level of cash and temporary investments varied from a low of approximately $19,830 million to a high of approximately $31,138 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

In accordance with PSAB, effective fiscal 2005–06, the Province’s reporting entity was expanded to include public hospitals, school boards, and colleges, collectively referred to as BPS organizations. As permitted under PSAB standards, these BPS organizations were consolidated in the Province’s financial statements on a one-line equity basis of accounting until March 31, 2009. Effective April 1, 2009, the assets and liabilities of the BPS organizations are consolidated with those of the Province on a line-by-line basis on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As such, the net debt of hospitals, school boards and colleges is included in the consolidated net debt of the Province.

Tangible Capital Assets

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 capital contributions and amortized to revenue consistent with the amortization to expense of the related tangible capital assets, reflecting the intent of the external contributors that the grants be used to construct or acquire assets that will provide public services over the useful lives of the underlying 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.

Public Debt — (5) Financial Tables — I. Summary of Net Debt and Accumulated Deficit — Risk Management and Derivative Financial Instruments.”

(2)	These are outstanding loans guaranteed and other contingencies as at March 31, 2013. 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 Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

At March 31, 2013, there were $6.3 billion (2012, $6.7 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.

•

Canadian Blood Services

The provincial and territorial governments of Canada have entered into a Canadian Blood Services Excess Insurance Captive Support Agreement (the “Captive Support Agreement”) with Canadian Blood Services (“CBS”) and Canadian Blood Services Captive Insurance Company Limited (“CBSI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CBS. Under the Captive Support Agreement, each government indemnifies CBSI for its pro-rata share of any payments that CBSI becomes obliged to make under a comprehensive blood risks insurance policy it provides to CBS. The policy has an overall limit of $750 million, which may cover settlements, judgments and defence costs. The policy is in excess of, and secondary to, a $250 million comprehensive insurance policy underwritten by CBS Insurance Company Limited, a subsidiary of CBS. Given current populations, Ontario’s maximum potential liability under the Captive Support Agreement is approximately $376 million. The Province is not aware of any proceedings that could lead to a claim against it under the Captive Support Agreement.

•

Legal Aid Ontario – Certificates

Legal Aid Ontario (“LAO”) issues certificates to individuals seeking legal aid assistance. Each certificate issued authorizes legal services to be performed within the tariff guidelines. At March 31, 2013, a potential $53.6 million (2012, $50.4 million) could still be incurred on certificates issued on or before March 31, 2013, over and above the billings received to date.

•

Pan/Parapan American Games

On November 6, 2009, Pan American Sports Organization (“PASO”) members voted to award Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe region the hosting rights of the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. Under the Ontario Support Agreement (“OSA”), the Province has agreed to act as the deficit guarantor. The deficit guarantee will be applicable to the activities of Toronto 2015 in performing its Pan Am-related commitments. The deficit guarantee stipulates that payments of any approved expenses in excess of the aggregate agreed contribution to the Games by all parties are the responsibility of the Province, provided that such expenses have been incurred in an agreed manner and approved by the Province in accordance with the terms and conditions of the OSA. Any future expense associated with this guarantee is undeterminable as at March 31, 2013.

•

General Real Estate Portfolio – Lease Obligation

Prior to the amalgamation of Stadium Corporation of Ontario Limited (“STADCO”) with Infrastructure Ontario and the Ontario Realty Corporation on June 6, 2011, all assets, liabilities and operations of STADCO were transferred to the General Real Estate Porftolio (“GREP”), including ground leases dated June 3, 1989, with Canada Lands Company (“CLC”) for the SkyDome Lands and the sublease to Rogers Stadium Limited Partnership (sub-tenant). Under the terms of the ground lease, GREP is responsible for base rent, realty taxes, utilities and certain operating costs, which are assumed by the sub-tenant under the terms of the sub-lease. In the event of a default by the sub-tenant, the potential financial impact to GREP is estimated to be the base rent, in the range of $300 million to $400 million annually, plus realty taxes, utilities and certain operating costs.

•

Collateral

The Province has entered into securities repurchase agreements and collateralized swap agreements with certain counterparties. Under the terms of those agreements, the Province may be required to pledge and/or receive assets relating to obligations to the counterparties. In the normal course of business, these pledged securities will be returned to the pledgor when there are no longer any outstanding obligations.

As at March 31, 2013, the Province pledged assets in the carrying amount of $1.9 billion (2012, $2.6 billion), which are included in Investments and/or Cash and Cash Equivalents.

The following table provides the Province’s outstanding debt for each of the fiscal years in the five-year period ended March 31, 2013.

Ontario Electricity Industry

Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (“OEFC”), a Crown agency, is the legal 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, 2013, OEFC had total debt of $27.3 billion (2012, $27.0 billion). $19.4 billion of OEFC’s debt as at March 31, 2013 (2012, $19.0 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, 2013, OEFC held notes receivable in the amount of $3.9 billion from OPG, $135 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.

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. The opening unfunded liability of $19.4 billion as at April 1, 1999 represented the stranded debt adjusted for $1.5 billion of additional assets transferred to OEFC. OEFC’s unfunded liability at March 31, 2013 was $11.3 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 taxes paid by OPG, Hydro One and the municipal electric utilities.

The Province, as shareholder, is eligible to receive dividend payments on its shares 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 (“electricity sector dedicated income”).

As at April 1, 1999, the present value of future payments-in-lieu of taxes and electricity sector dedicated income was estimated at $13.1 billion. Subtracting the $13.1 billion from stranded debt of $20.9 billion resulted in a difference of $7.8 billion, the initial estimated residual stranded debt. 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 the residual stranded debt is retired.

In accordance with Ontario Regulation 89/12, the Minister of Finance determined the residual stranded debt to be $3.9 billion as at March 31, 2013. The residual stranded debt determination as at March 31, 2013, is based on a stranded debt amount of $11.3 billion, reduced by the estimated present value of future dedicated revenues to OEFC of $7.4 billion. As reported in the 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, the estimate for when the residual stranded debt will likely be retired is between 2015 and 2018.

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. OPG’s remaining unregulated and non-contracted hydroelectric plants will be prescribed for rate regulation, effective July 1, 2014, with regulated priced approved by the Ontario Energy Board (“OEB”). The OEB also sets the commodity price payable by low volume and certain other specified 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, the Province is liable to make payments should the cost estimate 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 will be updated periodically to reflect new developments in the management of nuclear used fuel waste.

As well, under ONFA, the Province guarantees a return of 3.25 per cent over the Ontario Consumer Price Index for the portion of the nuclear used fuel waste management segregated fund related to the fixed volume of used fuel. If the earnings on assets in that fund related to the fixed volume 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 (in prescribed circumstances) to the segregated funds established under ONFA. The other agreement between the Province and the CNSC provides a direct provincial guarantee to the CNSC on behalf of OPG. This guarantee, for up to $1.551 billion, effective January 1, 2013, previously $1.545 billion, relates to the portion of the decommissioning and waste management obligations not funded by the estimated value of ONFA funds as at January 1, 2013. In return, the Province receives from OPG an annual fee equal to 0.5 per cent of the value of the guarantee. The current provincial guarantee is in effect through the end of 2017.

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, 2013, approximately 4.1% of total liabilities were in the form of non-public debt. Non-public debt is composed almost exclusively of debt to pension plans, the largest component being CPP debt (3.1% 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 Pensions and Other Employee Future Benefits Expenses for the hospitals, school boards and colleges sectors (except for the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan) are not included in the table above. These expenses are included in the Salaries, Wages and Benefits of BPS organizations (Schedule 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and in the expenses of the BPS ministries (Education, Health and Long-Term Care, and Training, Colleges and Universities) in Schedule 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 eleven per cent of their salaries to these plans. The Province matches these contributions.

The obligation for benefits and plan fund assets of these plans is based on actuarial accounting valuations that are performed annually. The government’s best estimate of the long-term annual inflation rate used in the pension and other employee future benefits calculations disclosed in the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13 is 2.5 per cent; the salary escalation rate is 3.5 per cent; and the discount rate and expected rate of return on pension plan assets are 6.75 per cent for OTPP, 6.5 per cent for PSPP and 6.75 per cent for OPSEU Pension Plan. Salary assumptions incorporate recent bargaining agreements reached including the Province of Ontario’s two-year legislated teachers’ salary freeze for 2012 and 2013. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of the employees of 10.6 to 14.6 years.

Funding of these plans is based on statutory actuarial funding valuations undertaken at least once every three years. The Province contributed $1,395 million to OTPP in 2012–13 (2011–12, $1,346 million), $366 million (including a $127 million special payment) to PSPP (2011–12, $359 million including a $127 million special payment), and $231 million to OPSEU Pension Plan (2011–12, $212 million). During calendar year 2012, OTPP paid benefits, including transfers to other plans, of $4.9 billion (2011, $4.7 billion), PSPP paid $1,023 million (2011, $937 million) and OPSEU Pension Plan paid $745 million (2011, $664 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 Province is also responsible for sponsoring the Public Service Supplementary Benefits Plan and the Ontario Teachers’ Retirement Compensation Arrangement. Expenses and liabilities of these plans are included in the Pensions Expense and Pensions Liability reported in the above tables.

Pension benefits for employees in the hospital and colleges sectors are provided by the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (“HOOPP”) and the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Pension Plan (“CAATPP”).

HOOPP is a multi-employer pension plan covering employees of Ontario’s health care community. CAATPP is a multi-employer pension plan covering employees of the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario, the Board of Trustees, the Ontario College Application Services and the Ontario College Library Services. Both of these plans are accounted for as joint contributory defined benefit plans that provide eligible members with a retirement income based on a formula that takes into account a member’s earnings history and length of service in the plan. The plans are financed by contributions from participating members and employers, and by investment earnings. As organizations covered under these plans are in the government’s reporting entity, the Province includes 56 per cent of BPS organizations’ portion¹ of the net obligation of HOOPP and includes 50 per cent of the net obligation of CAATPP.

The obligation for benefits and plan fund assets of these plans is based on actuarial accounting valuations that are performed annually. The government’s best estimate of the long-term annual inflation rate used in the pension calculations for BPS organizations disclosed in the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13 is 2.5 per cent; the salary escalation rate is 4.75 per cent for HOOPP and 3.5 per cent for CAATPP; and the discount rate and expected rate of return on pension plan assets are 6.25 per cent for HOOPP and 6.5 per cent for CAATPP. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of the employees of 12.3 years for HOOPP and 10.6 years for CAATPP.

¹ BPS organizations are represented in HOOPP at 86 per cent in 2012–13 (2011–12, 87 per cent).

Expenses for HOOPP of $1,036 million (2011–12, $995 million) and CAATPP of $213 million (2011–12, $179 million) are included in the Salaries, Wages and Benefits expenses of the hospital and colleges sectors respectively (Schedule 10 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13) and in the expenses of the related ministries (Schedule 4 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13). The related liabilities are included in the Pensions and Other Employee Future Benefits liability on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Funding of these plans is based on statutory actuarial funding valuations undertaken at least once every three years. The employers contributed $847 million to HOOPP in 2012–13 (2011–12, $827 million) and $169 million to CAATPP (2011–12, $153 million). During calendar year 2012, HOOPP paid benefits of $1,486 million (2011, $1,335 million), and CAATPP paid $332 million (2011, $303 million).

Other Employee Future Benefits

Other Employee Future Benefits are non-pension retirement benefits, post-employment benefits, compensated absences and termination benefits.

Non-Pension 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 liability for non-pension retirement benefits of $7.8 billion as at March 31, 2013 (2012, $7.5 billion) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Liability. The expense for 2012–13 of $674 million (2011–12, $594 million) (excluding the expense for BPS organizations) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Expense. The BPS expense of $349 million in 2012–13 (2011–12, $757 million) includes a plan curtailment for school boards that resulted in a one-time gain of $464 million, due to changes to employee retirement gratuity plan benefits associated with vested sick leave and retiree health, life and dental plans. The BPS expense is included in the Salaries, Wages and Benefits expense of BPS organizations (Schedule 10 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13) and in the expenses of the related ministries (Schedule 4 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13).

The discount rate used in the non-pension retirement benefits calculation for 2012–13 is 4.20 per cent (2011–12, 4.85 per cent). The discount rate used by BPS organizations in the non-pension retirement benefits calculation for 2012–13 ranges from 2.75 per cent to 4.00 per cent (2011–12, 4.00 per cent to 5.00 per cent).

Post-Employment Benefits, Compensated Absences and Termination Benefits

The Province provides, on a self-insured basis, workers’ compensation benefits, long-term disability benefits and regular benefits to employees who are on long-term disability. 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 per cent 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 total post-employment benefits liability of $2.9 billion as at March 31, 2013 (2012, $3.6 billion) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Liability. The total post-employment benefits expense for 2012–13 of $372 million (2011–12, $351 million) (excluding the expense for BPS organizations) is included in the Other Employee Future Benefits Expense. The BPS post-employment benefits recovery of $17 million in 2012–13 (2011–12, BPS post-employment benefit expense of $746 million) includes a plan curtailment for school boards that resulted in a one-time gain of $981 million, due to changes to post-employment and compensated absence benefits associated with non-vested, accumulated sick leave. The BPS expense is included in the Salaries, Wages and Benefits expense of BPS organizations (Schedule 10 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13) and in the expenses of the related ministries (Schedule 4 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13).

The discount rate used in the post-employment benefits, compensated absences and termination benefits calculations for 2012–13 is 3.70 per cent (2011–12, 4.30 per cent). The discount rate used by BPS organizations in the post-employment benefits for 2012–13 ranges from 2.75 per cent to 4.00 per cent (2011–12, 3.00 per cent to 5.00 per cent).

Other Funds and 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, externally restricted funds and other long-term liabilities.

Claims Against the Crown

Of the claims outstanding against the Crown in right of Ontario as at March 31, 2013, 62 (2012, 65) were for amounts over $50 million as reported in Note 12 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in the 2012-2013 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 12, 2013, there were 100 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 and options.

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 forward foreign exchange contracts, futures, options and swaps to convert foreign currency cash flows into Canadian dollar 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 forward foreign exchange contracts used for hedging is shorter than the term of the underlying debt, the effectiveness is maintained by continuously rolling the forward foreign exchange contract over the remaining term of the underlying debt, or until replaced with a long-term derivative contract.

The current market risk policy allows the amount of unhedged foreign currency debt principal net of foreign currency holdings to reach a maximum of 5 per cent of Total Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC. At March 31, 2013, the respective unhedged levels were 0.8 and nil per cent (2012, 1.0 and nil per cent). A one Japanese yen appreciation of the Japanese currency, relative to the Canadian dollar, would result in unhedged debt denominated in Japanese yen increasing by $16.2 million (2012, $22.2 million) and a corresponding increase in interest on debt of $6.4 million (2012, $7.0 million). A one Swiss rappen appreciation of the Swiss currency, relative to the Canadian dollar, would result in unhedged debt denominated in Swiss franc increasing by $5.1 million (2012, $5.6 million) and a corresponding increase in interest on debt of $0.7 million (2012, $0.9 million). Total foreign exchange gains/losses recognized in the Statement of Operations for 2012–13 were losses of $5.0 million (2011–12, losses of $53.2 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 market risk policy limits net interest rate resetting risk for Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC debt to a maximum of 35 per cent. At March 31, 2013, the net interest rate resetting risk for Debt Issued for Provincial Purposes and OEFC debt was 8.9 per cent and 28.0 per cent respectively (2012, 8.3 per cent and 13.2 per cent). Based on floating rate interest-bearing financial instruments on hand at March 31, 2013, plus planned refinancing of maturing debt in the coming year, a one per cent (100 basis point) increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest on debt of $308 million (2012, $232 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 (Note 9 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13), adjusted for collateral (Note 12 to the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 2012-13), at levels that will

meet future cash requirements and give the Province flexibility in the timing of issuing debt. Pledged assets are considered encumbered for liquidity purposes while collateral held that can be sold or repledged is a source of liquidity. 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, 2013, 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, 2013.

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. Net Credit Risk Exposure (Net of Collateral) is the potential loss to the Province further mitigated by the collateral received from counterparties.

References:

All debt issues are non-callable, except as stated in the notes. Debt is payable at a fixed rate, or a floating rate with reference to a stated index, reset usually every three months (3M). These floating rate indices are CBA - Canadian Bankers’ Acceptance Rate, Euribor - Euro Interbank Offered Rate, Hibor - Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, and Libor – London Interbank Offered Rate.

The following debt series are issued for Provincial purposes and for OEFC: DMTN69, DMTN93, DMTN197, DMTN199, DMTN135, DMTN201, DMTN205, DMTN163, DMTN208, DMTN173, DMTN217, DMTN183, DMTN79, DMTN195, DMTN140, DMTN200, DMTN207, DMTN212, DMTN215, HP, KJ, LQ, DMTN158, DMTN164, DMTN182, DMTN204, DMTN214, EMTN56, G53, PE, G62, PU and EMTN82.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) invests funds in the Province of Ontario’s non-marketable securities. Effective July 1, 2005, under a side-letter agreement signed between the CPPIB and the Province, CPPIB offered the Province upon maturity of the debentures held to the credit of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Fund (CPPIF) that were issued before January 1, 1998, an option of issuing new replacement debentures to the CPPIB with a maximum term of 30 years (minimum term of 5 years and with subsequent roll over options subject to the 30 years maximum from the date of issue of the first replacement debenture) at a rate based on the capital market rates at the time of roll over. These debentures are not negotiable or transferable and are assignable only to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. On April 1, 2007, all debentures held to the credit of the CPPIF or purchased by the Minister of Finance of Canada in accordance with Section 110 of the Canada Pension Plan were transferred to the CPPIB.

OPB & OPPT: Pursuant to the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Pension Act 1994 and the Asset Transfer Agreement of December 12, 1994, the Province was obligated to re-split the debentures between the Public Service Pension Fund (“PSPF”) and the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union Pension Plan Trust Fund (“OPSEU Fund”). On June 13, 1997 a Restated Sponsorship Amendment and Asset Transfer Agreement was signed, replacing the 1994 agreement and which resulted in the existing split after debt payment. The terms of these debentures require that the principal be repaid in 12 equal monthly payments in the year preceding the date of maturity.

5.	OIIC: Total outstanding amount is $778 million, including $744 million of zero coupon bonds and $34 million of compound fixed rate bonds.

6.	CMHC: The terms of these debentures require that equal payments be made each year until their maturity. Each payment consists of blended principal and interest.

The Province entered into interest rate agreements for certain Canadian bonds to effectively convert their interest rate obligations according to the Province’s risk management strategy. These bonds and effective rates are: DMTN193 2.44%, DMTN198 3.02%, DMTN199 2.75%, MW 3M CBA rate – 0.05%, DMTN203 3.39%, DMTN1 3M CBA rate – 0.02%, DMTN205 2.61%, DMTN209 2.83%, DMTN196 3.73%, DMTN210 2.77%, DMTN211 2.31%, DMTN173 3M CBA rate – 0.279% ($210 million), DMTN219 1.95%, DMTN217 1.88%, DMTN79 4.84% ($125 million), DMTN105 4.94%, DMTN195 3M CBA rate + 0.58% ($600 million), DMTN180 4.52% and EMTN73 4.34%.
