Ottawa, Aug 17 (Canadian-Media): According to the news release issued yesterday, Ontario's Government for the People kept its promise to Ontarians in taking decisive action on urgent issues during its summer session, media reports said.

"In the last election we ran on our Plan for the People. And since being sworn into office on June 29 we have hit the ground running as a government for the people," said Todd Smith, Government House Leader and Minister of Government and Consumer Services. "Since July, we have delivered key initiatives that will help lower gas prices and reduce your hydro bills, restore accountability and trust in government, and send a message to the world that Ontario is open for business."

Since the swearing-in of Premier Doug Ford and his Cabinet, Ontario's Government for the People has announced a number of actions and policies in key priority areas.
