Later this afternoon: the Ford government will be delivering the budget. So, what can we expect from it? One of the key commitments that we know of so far is that the province plans to spend $1 billion over three years to expand home care. We also know that the government wants to provide approximately $3-billion to revamp hospitals. And, will we get a price tag for the Bradford Bypass and Highway 413 in this budget? John and Bob discuss the latest.
