Not A Big Surprise

Ont. gov't over-promises but underperforms: ombud

Canadian Press

TORONTO — The Ontario government's credibility is "dying a slow death'' because ministries and provincial agencies ignore problems and instead boast about their strong performances, Ombudsman Andre Marin said Wednesday.

Marin compared his annual report on government to report cards for students, and said even though he doesn't usually title them, he was tempted to label this one "The Year of Over-promising and Under-delivering.''

"Certainly, for lofty ambitions, I would give them an A,'' Marin said after releasing his report. "But for actually delivering on those lofty ambitions, I would give them a C.''
