Public services in Toronto are funded by municipal property taxes, financial transfers from the Government of Ontario and Government of Canada, or are operated and financed by the higher-level governments. Funding for services provided by the municipal government is determined by a vote of the Toronto City Council in favour of the year's proposed operating budget; Toronto's operating budget in 2007 was $7.8 billion, and its capital budget was 1.43 billion. ==Operational finances== Revenue sources for the city's operational budget consist of transfers and subsidies from the provincial and federal governments ($1.944 B), user fees ($1.205 B) and withdrawals from the reserve fund ($0.5 B). Property taxes represent 42% of the budget ($3.221 B), which is referred to as the ''Net Operating Budget''. All other sources total approximnately $1.0 B. The most significant expenditures are: * Police Services Board (24.4% of expenditures) * Debt financing (12.2%) * Fire services (10.4%) * Social services (8.4%) * Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (8.0%) * Toronto Transit Commission (includes WheelTrans service) (7.4%) * Parks, Forestry and Recreation (7.0%) * Transportation services (5.7%) * Solid Waste Management services (5.7%) * Toronto Public Library (4.6%) All other services individually represent less than 2% of expenditures.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public services in Toronto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
