Which acts are administered by the Ministry of Government Services?

The Ministry of Government Services is responsible for one of the longest list of statutes in the Ontario government.  Our legislations:

  • Strengthen consumer protection
  • Enhance the delivery of public services
  • Modernize government.

Changes to many of our legislations have been adopted recently to help the ministry address the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
