Ontario’s Long-Term Infrastructure Plan is a living plan. The Province will monitor its implementation on an ongoing basis to identify what is and isn’t working well, and will use that information to make any changes and release a new plan — at least every five years.

The Province is committed to meeting the IJPA requirements by the legislated deadline of May 2019. Ontario will also transform Ontario’s infrastructure-planning and delivery process to achieve better outcomes, and will integrate life-cycle assessment to better understand the environmental impact of the government’s investments. The Province is working to explore enhancements to the AFP delivery model, as well as other innovative made-in-Ontario solutions. It will work towards developing Community Benefits Pilot Projects to inform a future policy framework on community benefits.

The government will develop a broadband strategy that will outline a vision for broadband connectivity, identify key priorities and outline a roadmap to achieving them. The government will also continue to support co-located services to better meet community needs of the people of Ontario through developing a Social Purpose Real Estate strategy.

Ultimately, the goal of Ontario’s infrastructure investments is to deliver better access to, and quality of, services across the province. Ontario’s priority is to continue its significant investment in infrastructure to build a stronger economy, create jobs, build strong communities and enhance the quality of life for all Ontario residents.
