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

• 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.

This is a list of the various statutes and legislations administered by MGS.  You can consult them online at the e-Laws website.  You can also order copies online through POOL, or by telephone through ServiceOntario - Publications at 416-326-5300 or 1-800-668-9938 (TTY 1-800-268-7095).
