Expenditure Estimates for the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (2020-21)
The 2020-2021 Expenditure Estimates set out details of the operating and capital spending requirements of the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2020.
Summary
The Ministry supports economic growth and job creation focussed on delivering value for money, enhanced accountability and improved transparency for all Ontarians by: helping companies launch, grow and scale, harnessing the right talent, and providing programs and services that help increase Ontario’s overall productivity and competitiveness.
The Ministry also ensures Ontario’s interests are represented during federally led international trade agreement negotiations. The Ministry promotes Ontario as a top-tier investment destination, showing the world how we are making it easier to invest and do business here, and we help Ontario companies sell their products and services worldwide. The Office of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction works with stakeholders and regulatory ministries to modernize and streamline outdated, duplicative, unclear or inflexible regulations in order to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses while upholding high environmental, workplace, health and public safety standards.
