The 2018 Ontario general election was held on June 7, 2018 to elect the 124 members of the 42nd Parliament of Ontario.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, won a majority government with 76 of the 124 seats in the legislature. The incumbent Liberal government was effectively swept out of Parliament, securing only 7 seats in the legislature and consequently having to surrender official party status.

1.07.17 - “Conduct a value-for-money audit of every government program”

For The People: A Plan for Ontario

Published: Jun 2018

Justification

The Auditor General conducts an annual value-for-money audit of several governmental programs. However, the promise stipulates “every” government program. As every government program has not yet been audited, the promise is considered in progress.

“The Annual Report, required by the Auditor General Act, includes value-for-money audits of Ontario public-sector and broader-public-sector programs, and our observations on the attest audits of the Public Accounts. It also includes reports and reviews required under other legislation or undertaken at the Auditor General’s discretion.”
