Vaccine clinic visitors fill in paperwork as they wait in line at a mass vaccination clinic in Toronto on March 23, 2021.Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy says his government’s second pandemic budget coming Wednesday will focus on “finishing the job” of fighting COVID-19, as the province ramps up vaccinations amid a rising third wave of the virus.
