Commission on the Reform of Ontario's Public Services : Public services for Ontarians: a path to sustainability and excellence

Ontarians want excellent public services from their government. The Commission on the Reform of Ontario's Public Services understands and supports this desire. We see no reason why Ontario cannot have the best public services in the world, with the proviso that they must come at a cost Ontarians can afford. With such a goal, we face three overarching tasks. First, we must understand Ontario's economic challenges and address them directly. Second, we must firmly establish a balanced fiscal position that can be sustained over the long term. And third, we must sharpen the efficiency of literally everything the government does so Ontarians get the greatest value for money from the taxes they pay. This report addresses these issues and offers a road map to a day when Ontarians can count on public services that are both excellent and affordable, the public services Ontarians want and deserve.
