a deficit of $38.5 billion in 2020-21, unchanged from the deficit forecast at the time of the <em>2020-21 First Quarter Finances<\/em> update. \u00a0Over the medium term, the Government projects steadily declining deficits of $33.1 billion 2021-22, and $28.2 billion in 2022-23.\u00a0 This incorporates the most up to date economic information and includes new additional supports for the pandemic response and recovery.<\/p><p>\u201cThe government of Ontario has taken its cue from the people which is why we are leading the way in not only protecting and supporting, but leading to
