Client: The Ministry of Red Tape Reduction collaborates with government ministries to foster the adoption of modern regulatory practices and achieve burden reduction targets mandated by the Modernizing Ontario for People and Businesses Act, 2020 (MOPBA). It creates comprehensive policies and strategies aimed at reducing the regulatory burden on Ontario businesses through initiatives in regulatory innovation, compliance modernization, and reform.
Problem: The province was facing large-scale red tape issues, ensuring regulatory modernization in ministry policy proposals, and enhancing inspection services. However, current data collection and reporting processes are fragmented and rely on non-integrated systems, highlighting the need for automation and interoperability to streamline critical business processes and eliminate redundant manual tasks.
Ergo´s solution: The Solution will facilitate the online creation and management of Instrument records, whether drafting, amending, or revoking, by capturing Ministry User information and contact details and defining lifecycle stages. It will enable tracking and reporting on Instrument statuses and timelines, supporting KPI and service delivery requirements. Additionally, the Solution includes an online portal for submitting Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) information for all Instrument types, featuring comprehensive forms to gather necessary data for review and reporting. The RIA submissions will also capture detailed Ministry User information, ensuring thorough regulatory analysis and impact assessment.
