The Ministry of Research and Innovation does not track the total
amount of money invested by the government in research and development, nor
does it evaluate the impact of research funded by the province, which gave
universities $1.9 billion over the past five years.
The auditor also takes the Liberals to task for poor
oversight and inconsistent service levels at Community Care Access Centres and
Local Health Integration Networks, and for not responding quickly enough to
reports of critical incidents at the Ontario ’s
630 long-term care homes, which get $3.6 billion a year in provincial funding.
She also wants more specifics on how they plan to lower the
province’s debt-to-GDP ratio to 27 per cent from the 39.5 per cent reported in
March, and warns net debt of $284.5 billion will soar to $319.5 billion by
2017-18, which is when the Liberals have promised to eliminate the deficit.
