The 2023–2024 Expenditure Estimates set out details of the operating and capital spending requirements of the Ministry of the Solicitor General for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2023.
Summary
The Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry) is committed to ensuring that all communities in Ontario are kept safe. To fulfill its mandate, the ministry’s responsibilities are divided into two distinct parts: community safety and correctional services. As part of its community safety mandate, the ministry is responsible for establishing provincewide police and fire standards, and oversight as well as supporting crime and fire prevention initiatives at local and provincial levels; including supporting provincial priorities such as gun and gang violence, human trafficking, and intimate partner violence. It also oversees the governance and licensing of private security guards and investigators and is directly responsible for Ontario’s animal welfare enforcement system.
Within the correctional services’ mandate, the ministry operates a safe, effective and accountable adult corrections system that includes correctional facilities and probation and parole offices across the province. The ministry is responsible for the safety and well-being of correctional services staff and those on remand or serving a custodial or community sentence.
Organizations within the ministry that contribute to community safety include the Ontario Provincial Police, the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service, the Office of the Fire Marshal and Correctional Services Oversight and Investigations. The ministry also delivers training for first responders and frontline staff through the Correctional Services Recruitment & Training Centre and Ontario Police College and develops training courses and operates live mobile fire training units for local fire services.
