In her annual report, Bonnie Lysyk says while the province has increased the number of physicians, only 5 per cent are practicing in rural and northern areas where 14 per cent of Ontario's population live.
Lysak notes that locum doctors, meant to cover short-term vacancies in eligible communities, are instead being used for long periods of time, with a third of all hospitals using temporary physician services continuously since 2007.
Lysyk also reports that while workforce is shrinking, Ontario Power Generation's senior management is getting bigger.
Lysyk says the size OPG's senior management group has increased 58 per cent since 2005.
Lysyk adds the compensation given to OPG's employees is having a huge impact on the cost of electricity.
Ontario's Auditor General also focused in on the Ministry of Natural Resources, saying it's finding it difficult to protest Ontario's park's System.
Lysyk points to the expansion in the number of parks in the past decade and increased responsibilities for the Ministry as reasons.
Lysyk says she found significant portions of the park system that were subject to little or no enforcement of regulations on hunting and fishing, and prohibited activities such as commercial timber harvesting occuring regularly.
