TORONTO – Ontario taxpayers are set to receive $200 cheques in the mail early next year, a $3-billion plan the premier suggests is not tied to a possible early election — though the opposition leaders have their doubts.

Premier Doug Ford and Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy made the announcement Tuesday, a day ahead of the province’s fall economic statement, which serves as a mini budget.

Premier Doug Ford says the money "will make a big difference for families across the province, with cheques arriving early in the new year."{ai:summary}<p>Ontario will distribute $200 cheques to taxpayers as part of a $3-billion initiative, announced by Premier Doug Ford and Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy.
