The Government Special Interest Group invites you to a stimulating session on Open for Business - the Ontario Government’s ambitious three-year initiative to create faster, smarter and streamlined government-to-business services that make Ontario more attractive for business development while protecting the public interest. It also seeks to transform the Ontario government-to-business relationship.

Open for Business will serve as a foundation to the government's Five-Point Economic Plan to create a stronger and more prosperous Ontario. To achieve this goal, action will be taken in three key areas:
  • Modern Services: transforming the way government delivers services to business across Ontario
  • Modern Government: transforming the way government develops policies and provides regulatory oversight
  • A New Relationship with Business: creating new, open and transparent relationships between government and business
Join Gail Paech, Associate Deputy Minister, Ministry of Economic Development, as she outlines the government’s plan for transforming the Ontario government-to-business relationship and discusses the opportunities this presents for management consultants.
