Ontario's To Cut Red Tape to Make Ontario a Top Destination for Global Investments

Dec 13, 2018

Ontario is cutting red tape to make it easier for international companies to invest, do business and create jobs in the province.

Premier Doug Ford spoke at the 2018 Toronto Global Forum, an event organized by the International Economic Forum of the Americas.

"I want to send a clear message to the world that here in Ontario, we are ready to do business once again," said Ford. "For too long, job creators in Ontario have been burdened by inefficient, excessive and inflexible regulations. By cutting red tape, we're telling international companies and partners that doing business with Ontario is the right move."

Premier Ford discussed the action the government is taking to lighten regulatory burdens to cut costs to businesses, streamline processes, reduce barriers to investment and harmonize regulatory requirements across municipal, provincial and federal levels. These actions will make it easier for companies from around the world to invest, grow and create jobs in Ontario.

"We promised to make it easier to do business in Ontario. We're attracting companies and jobs to the province by removing outdated, duplicated and unnecessarily complicated regulations that weigh them down," said Ford. "By cutting red tape, Ontario will become a top global destination for international trade and business."

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
