The Ontario government has announced it will release the 2020 Provincial Budget on Thursday, November 5.
Over the last few weeks, AMAPCEO has provided a number of recommendations to help start Ontario on the road to recovery. The pandemic has been a reminder of the importance of a robust professional public service—planning and providing the quality public services that Ontarians rely on.
In our submission to the government, we recommended:
- increased funding for the broader public sector—in areas such as public health and funding for arts and culture—to help fight the pandemic and focus on economic recovery;
- in light of the current high rates of transmission, that the OPS Employer maintain remote work policies until it is safe to transition back; and
- that the OPS Employer use this time to rethink what the OPS workplace can and should look like.
