Summary

The Ministry of Infrastructure (MOI) is building Ontario by leading the overall development of infrastructure policy and planning to modernize the Province’s infrastructure and strengthen Ontario's communities and economy.

The ministry guides the Province's infrastructure plan by collecting, standardizing, and analyzing data to support evidence-based infrastructure planning and decision-making. As part of the effort to guide Ontario’s infrastructure plan and to ensure the government’s plan for long-term prosperity, MOI is responsible for developing, delivering and negotiating infrastructure programs, including federal-provincial municipal programs as well as implementing policies that support community infrastructure. The ministry oversees the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Program to support the building of vibrant, mixed-use communities near transit and leads the redevelopment of Ontario Place. MOI also leads the government’s commitment to connect communities to high-speed internet access. The ministry also manages the Unsolicited Proposals framework. In addition, the ministry is responsible for managing the government's General Real Estate Portfolio through policy work and program delivery.

As part of its agency oversight role, the ministry has legislative responsibility for Infrastructure Ontario, Waterfront Toronto, the Ontario Place Corporation and the Ontario Science Centre.

The ministry also provides support for the Queen’s Park Restoration Project to ensure this historic heritage building where critical government and parliamentary business is conducted is brought to current building standards. It will ensure this landmark that symbolizes and facilitates the province’s democratic process is protected and remains safe for future use.

Infrastructure Policy, Planning, and Projects - Vote 4003

Infrastructure Policy, Planning and Projects leads overall policy across government to modernize the Province's infrastructure and to deliver on its investments. This infrastructure includes, but is not limited to: highways, roads, bridges, transit, hospitals, colleges, schools, courthouses, correctional facilities and other government buildings.

The program is the steward of provincial asset management planning and develops tools and supports to track current infrastructure assets and planned investments across government. Further, the program collects data and develops tools and analysis of infrastructure condition, capacity and modernization needs to help inform decision making on infrastructure investments across sectors. It also promotes provincial asset management best practices, advances infrastructure policy discussions with other ministries and provides the ministry’s central agency support role, working with Treasury Board Secretariat, to inform the prioritization of infrastructure investments across government.

In addition, the program manages the government's relationship with the federal and municipal governments on infrastructure investments, oversees the delivery of municipal infrastructure policy and programs to ensure alignment with broader provincial infrastructure policy, and develops regulations for asset management plans for municipalities to help them plan their infrastructure priorities and provide evidence to support provincial funding decisions. This includes leading the government's commitment to provide access to high speed internet to communities across Ontario by the end of 2025.

Government Real Estate - Vote 4006

The Government Real Estate Program is responsible for managing the government's General Real Estate Portfolio through policy work and program delivery.

The program oversees real estate management activities of the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation (Infrastructure Ontario) to implement real estate strategies, portfolio planning, multi-year 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.

The program is also responsible for optimizing the Province's office real estate and driving workplace transformation to reduce costs and ensure the greatest value from public sector real estate assets of government and agencies. This is achieved through better management of realty assets and service delivery, by reducing costly third party leased office space and modernizing office space where the Ontario Public Service works to deliver the best outcomes and services for Ontarians. Major realty projects are delivered through this program, including the Macdonald Block reconstruction project.

The program also includes the oversight of the Queens Park Restoration Project

Infrastructure Partnership Projects & Agency Oversight - Vote 4007

The Government Infrastructure Projects & Agency Oversight Program oversees the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Program in partnership with Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx. The TOC Program is part of the government’s plan to build vibrant, sustainable, mixed-use communities near transit, while reducing the burden on taxpayers to build transit station infrastructure. TOCs are anticipated to increase ridership, reduce congestion and provide a mix of housing, including affordable housing options, while creating jobs.

The program is also working with Infrastructure Ontario on the redevelopment of Ontario Place as a world-class, year round destination that will include family-friendly entertainment, public and event spaces, parkland, and waterfront access.

As part of its agency oversight role, the program works closely with Infrastructure Ontario and the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation to ensure that their mandates are aligned with the province’s priorities. The program works with partners and sponsor ministries to develop and issue direction to Infrastructure Ontario in a timely, clear, and effective manner. It also monitors the Infrastructure Ontario lending program and policy framework, and works with Infrastructure Ontario to develop policies and initiatives to enhance infrastructure delivery.

The ministry is also working to move the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place, creating a new state-of-the-art facility.
