Welcome to the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services

MGCS plays a very important role in the delivery of government services to the people of Ontario and is responsible for the government's workforce, procurement and technology resources.

The ministry is focused on modernizing and improving front-line public services that people depend on, and creating a modern regulatory framework to protect consumers and facilitate economic growth.

MGCS is responsible for building the best public service in the world in order to deliver on the government's commitment to being a responsive and innovative world leader in customer service and consumer protection.

Whether it is in Toronto, Ottawa, Thunder Bay or any of the other cities and communities in this great province, the work of MGCS impacts the life of every Ontarian.
