Our vision
The world has changed — government must change with it. That is why we are working to make Ontario’s programs and frontline services more convenient, more reliable and more accessible.
Our Ontario Onwards: Ontario’s COVID-19 Action Plan for a People-Focused Government outlines our vision for how we’ll do it.
With this Action Plan, our government is helping to keep people safe and healthy by delivering services that are more accessible, more reliable, and more convenient for you.
We’re doing things differently in four areas:
Making government services more digitally accessible
Reducing red tape and simplifying policies, while protecting public health and safety
Improving government purchasing
Creating more responsive and flexible public services
