Government Infrastructure Projects - vote 1820

Government Infrastructure Projects is responsible for managing the government's General Real Estate Portfolio. This is done through developing policy, legislation and program delivery. The program oversees the real estate management activities of the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation (Infrastructure Ontario), to implement real estate strategies, portfolio planning, acquisition and disposal of surplus properties, and capital planning. The ministry's Contaminated Sites Plan, the Forfeited Corporate Property Program, and the Transmission Corridor Program are managed by this program. It is also responsible for optimizing the province's office real estate and driving workplace transformation to reduce cost and improve effectiveness of the workforce for government, agencies and the Broader Public Sector. It achieves this through better management of realty assets and service delivery, by eliminating costly third party leased office space and re-shaping how and where the Ontario Public Service (OPS) works to deliver the best outcomes and services for Ontarians. Major realty projects are delivered through this program, including the Macdonald Block reconstruction and Whitney Block rehabilitation.
