The platforms   
      
   The NDP and Liberals have each released fully costed platforms, and additional   
   Liberal priorities were identified in their March budget.   
      
   The Tories quietly issued a list of promises on May 30, but it doesn’t give   
   a detailed fiscal plan, and the party says it will not deliver one before   
   election day.  Here are some of the major promises and the backstory behind   
   them.  You can also check    
   out Tim Kiladze’s detailed breakdown of what the PC and NDP promises would   
   cost.   
      
      
       PCs: For all his promises of spending cuts, Mr. Ford has not given a clear   
   timeline for when a PC government would balance its books, and he has said   
   that it would run a deficit in its first year.  Mr. Ford is focusing his   
   attention on Ms. Wynne's    
   fiscal record, promising an independent audit of the Liberals' spending.   
      
       Liberals: In their 2018 budget and election platform, the Wynne Liberals   
   argue that Ontario's economy was doing well enough to focus on social spending   
   and infrastructure to produce greater economic growth later. The plan calls   
   for six consecutive    
   deficits, with a return to balance in 2024-25.   
      
       NDP: Ms. Horwath also has no timetable for balancing the budget, and the   
   party platform predicts five consecutive deficits of between $5-billion and   
   $2-billion.
