The Government of Ontario appointed the Panel on the Role of Government in Ontario in January 2002, to examine emerging challenges likely to confront the province of Ontario over the next 10 to 15 years and to propose broad policy directions or priorities that would enable the Government to be responsive to these challenges. The Panel submitted its report in 2004. The theme for the Panel's report is investing in people in order to strengthen the human capital of Ontario's citizens. We believe that the creation of a human capital society in Ontario will make the greatest difference to the lives of Ontarians in the coming years. In addition to the Panel's report, 50 background research papers by distinguished experts were commissioned. The Panel's research staff was asked to provide a synthesis of this research, producing a staff report.
