Corrections & Accuracy Policy

End The Wait Ontario publishes data related to the Ontario Autism Program waitlist, provincial funding allocations, and service availability. We verify statistical claims against primary-source material before publication and disclose uncertainty when primary evidence is unavailable.

• FOI requests: direct Ontario government disclosures obtained under FIPPA.
• FAO and Auditor General reports: independent analyses of program spending, performance, and service delivery.
• Hansard and committee transcripts: official legislative records for ministerial and committee statements.
• Peer-reviewed research and WHO publications: clinical evidence used to contextualize intervention timing and outcomes.
• Official data portals: Ontario Data Catalogue, Statistics Canada, and other published government datasets.

We do not invent, round, or extrapolate figures without explicitly saying so. When a number is estimated or derived, the method is documented beside the claim.

If we discover a material factual error, we update the page as soon as reasonably possible and note the correction. Material errors include inaccurate statistics, misquoted sources, or claims that materially change a reader's understanding of the issue.

• We review the claim against the original source material.
• We update the affected page and related snippets when needed.
• We note the correction date when the change is substantive.
• We propagate the fix to derivative content where feasible.

High-impact pages are reviewed on a recurring basis, especially when tied to FOI releases, budget updates, or ministry announcements. Evergreen explainers are reviewed periodically and refreshed when evidence or policy changes.

If you believe something on the site is inaccurate, email us with the page URL, the statement in question, and any supporting documentation you want us to review.
