Calendar year 2025. The short version first, then every figure behind it, from the audited financial statements.

Its independent auditor (Deloitte LLP) signed off on the accounts without reservation.
The auditor signed off 169 days after the year ended.

- 9¢ Social housing
- 8¢ Health services

What went off plan
The areas furthest from their budget, in dollars. Going over isn't automatically bad (an emergency or a program added during the year can be the reason), and coming in under can mean delayed work.
Over budget
- Protection to property and persons +$32 million (3.9%)
- General government +$25 million (29.6%)
- Transportation services +$8.4 million (5.0%)
Under budget
- Social and family services −$157 million (−11.9%)
- Social housing −$26 million (−6.9%)
Context from the documents
- Council approves the budget on a different accounting basis; the budget figures in the audited statements convert it to full accrual accounting. We show spending against that figure but do not rate it.
- Peel provides services such as police, paramedics, housing, water and waste for Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, so their residents pay for both Peel and their own city.
- Bill 45, the Peel Transition Implementation Act, 2025, will move regional roads to Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon on July 1, 2027 (Note 18), so future years will not compare directly with 2025.
- The release date used is the date of the auditor's report.
Questions worth asking
Based only on the figures above. Put them to your councillor or candidates, or to the finance department.
- Protection to property and persons cost $32 million more than budgeted (3.9% over). What was the reason?
- Interest on debt took about 2 cents of every dollar of revenue. What is the plan for the debt over the next few years?
