The Ontario government is putting several large public agencies under the microscope, launching reviews that will look at efficiency and productivity.
The announcement today from Treasury Board President Peter Bethlenfalvy comes as government spending has been under increased scrutiny recently, due to Toronto-area Progressive Conservative caucus members billing thousands in Toronto hotel stays.

Premier Doug Ford has said he told them to pay back “every single penny,” but Bethlenfalvy today could not say if that has happened.
Bethlenfalvy says the province is reviewing eight agencies starting this summer with an eye to ensuring their spending is sustainable.
- Russ Wyatt voted out of Winnipeg city council, Lora Meseman to represent Transcona
- ‘Local Governance 101’ Okanagan community’s first-ever council trains ahead of inaugural meeting
- Lorne Doerkson says Conservatives committed to all campaign promises
- Feds open to supporting elements of Divorce Act amendments, but fate unclear
He suggested the government has given the agencies some figures of savings it would like to see, but he did not share those publicly.
The agencies being reviewed are: Metrolinx, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, Supply Ontario, Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, Legal Aid Ontario, Agricorp, and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
Nothing but a distraction from the hotel expense scandal in his own house. Look over there! Stop wasting time and money, you got some bad news, fix yourself.
What a joke…
So he gets caught ripping off Ontario…
Gets caught buying a luxury Jet…
Gets caught allowing his MPP’s to bill tax payers thousands for luxury hotels if they ‘have to stay for meetings…’
Now he wants to look at COST SAVING MEASURES for Ontario agencies? 🤣
This clown is such a crook….
‘But …. But …. But ….The liberals and Wynne were worse!’ comments will come LOL
Gravy plane guy is the best person to sort this out.
