Ontario’s Fall 2022 Red Tape Reduction Package includes 28 initiatives that would help develop a strong, secure food supply chain from farm to fork, support Ontario’s farmers, food processors and agri-businesses, and attract and grow a strong labour force so Ontario can continue to be competitive in a global market
The Less Red Tape, Stronger Ontario Act builds on the government’s strong record of reducing red tape. Since 2018, the Ontario government has saved businesses $576 million in annual compliance costs through common sense changes such as the removal of licence plate renewal fees, extending liquor licences to outdoor patio spaces, and updating other regulations across government to make it easier and cheaper to comply with the rules. In total, Ontario’s regulatory burden on businesses and individuals has been reduced by 6.5 per cent.
