STEIN LAL, EX-DM MOE, ON GOVERNMENT

Stien Lal joined the public service of Ontario in 1988 as the Deputy Minister in the Ministry of the Solicitor General and since then has held that position in five other ministries retiring from the public service 2001 as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of the Environment. During this period, Ontario under went unprecedented political change. As a result, Stien Lal has served in the capacity of Deputy Minister under all three governments. He now heads a consulting practice at the national and international level. Stien is a lawyer by profession, having been first called to the bar in England and subsequently in five other jurisdictions in Canada and abroad. He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1983.

Notes

Having worked in six ministries in Ontario, he has had the unique opportunity of seeing and appreciating some of the subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences between them. The OPS has its own culture and each Ministry has its own culture driven sometimes by the nature of their business, sometimes by their mandate or whether they are a regulatory or a non-regulatory Ministry

During Deputy Minister Stein Lal’s visit to the
Ontario Section Executive meeting, we received
welcome assurances, particularly regarding the
improvement of lines of communication. One
of our Branch’s goals will be to pursue efforts to
improve communication. We are once again
hopeful that we can finally address this
longstanding concern on the part of the
environmental Bar in Ontario.
