Each year, the government releases the Public Accounts to give the people of Ontario a clear and transparent view into their province’s finances. Our government’s plan is focused on investing in front-line programs and services like health care and education, restoring trust in Ontario’s finances and making sure our province continues to be a great place to live, work and raise a family. This is our commitment that guides everything we do. From Windsor to Kenora, Ottawa to Moosonee, we are focused on building success today and prosperity for future generations. The Public Accounts of Ontario 2018-2019 demonstrate that we can respect taxpayer dollars and focus on things like our world class health care, education and transportation systems. While we continue to work to change the culture of government, we are investing in core programs and services. For example, this year we committed to invest a total of $18 billion in the hospital sector. When our government assumed office, we knew that restoring trust and accountability to the province’s finances while investing in vital services that the people of Ontario depend on was our top priority. We acted immediately and put a freeze on discretionary spending, curbing things that could be put on hold without putting service delivery at risk. In the months that followed, we have continued the hard work of ensuring public services are effective, efficient and sustainable for future generations by: Implementing measures to curb the “March Madness” — spending that governments typically see at the end of their fiscal year, as they attempt to use the remainder of their budgets — and saving $153 million in taxpayer dollars as a result of these and other expenditure management efforts; Removing fax and phone landlines across the Ontario Public Service; Creating an Independent Financial Commission of Inquiry to look into Ontario's past spending and accounting practices which concluded that the previous government left Ontario with a $15 billion deficit in 2018–19; Implementing a new Audit and Accountability Committee to add more scrutiny and accountability in government spending; Commissioning EY Canada’s line-by-line review and taking action to implement its recommendations to deliver value for money for the people of Ontario; Financial Statement Discussion and Analysis, 2018–2019 iii Initiating a cross-government Multi-Year Planning process to help us take stock of all available opportunities to build a more sustainable government, both now and in the future. Through these measures, we are tackling the deficit in a measured and responsible way. Our government

  • Master's Research Paper Officers of the Assembly and the Ontario
    Master's Research Paper Officers of the Assembly and the Ontario Legislature: Reconsidering the Relationship Jocelyn McCauley Student Number: 216280703 Dr. Peter P. Constantinou A Master's Research Paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada July 2020 Abstract Officers of Parliament, or as they are referred to in Ontario, “officers of the Assembly”, have emerged within Westminster systems as a recognized tool for enhancing parliamentary oversight and increasing transparency in government. However, in Ontario, the absence of a clearly defined relationship with the provincial legislature has meant that certain officers of the Assembly have felt it necessary to “lobby” individual members and committees, as well as the media, in order to carry out their accountability and oversight functions. This lack of clarity places unnecessary stress on the relationship between independent officers, the Ontario Legislature, and the public sector, and can also negatively impact the public’s perception of government overall. This paper looks specifically at the relationship between the Ontario Legislature and officers of the Assembly, in terms of their governance structures, their appearances in legislative committees, and references to their work in House and committee proceedings. It finds that reforms are needed in order to strengthen officers’ relationships with the Legislature. Independent officers possess few powers of enforcement and as such, strong ties to the Assembly are necessary to ensure that recommended action is taken by legislators defend public trust and dollars. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.

  • Joint Submission the Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparen
    Joint Submission to The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 November 26, 2014 November 26, 2014 To: The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 The four school board/trustee associations would like to take the opportunity to respond and comment on this omnibus piece of legislation and in particular two schedules, out of the total eleven schedules, that will directly affect our membership. The bill’s title refers to accountability and transparency– two values that school boards and their elected trustees strive to ensure on a daily basis. Governed by the Education Act, school boards operate under many regulations, policies and guidelines and provide numerous reports, as required by the Ministry of Education, in order to demonstrate transparency and accountability measures. While we believe the government’s intention is to increase public confidence and to show an openness to the province’s electorate, we feel that, without due consideration of the current mechanisms for accountability and transparency that apply to school boards, we have been unfairly captured in the consideration of Schedule 1 – Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 and Schedule 9 – Amendments to the Ombudsman Act and Related Amendments. The reporting requirements for school boards far exceed requirements in any other sector. These include highly detailed financial reporting three times a year in addition to multiple layers of reporting with regard to students, employees and board improvement planning. Schedule 1: Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 The new proposed legislation aims to establish compensation frameworks for a lengthy list of public sector employers including those at Ornge, Metrolinx, OLG and the LCBO as well as the executives at school boards.
