PIR is leading four major initiatives.
The ReNew Ontario investment plan directs infrastructure investments to the most important priorities for people — health care, education and economic success — and creates new connections between planning and investment priorities.
After extensive consultations with stakeholders and communities across the province, the first growth plan, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, has been released.
The Building a Better Tomorrow Framework helps the government and the broader public sector assess proposals for new infrastructure, select the best way to finance projects, ensure that construction is completed on time and on budget, and maintain public assets in good order.
Infrastructure Ontario was created as an arms’ length Crown corporation to deliver critical public infrastructure projects across the province. The agency is developing innovative investment strategies and supervising Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) projects. Through the OSIFA Loan Program, Infrastructure Ontario offers affordable loans to help public sector clients build and renew essential local infrastructure.
PIR has responsibility for several major government agencies managing public assets: the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC), the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and Infrastructure Ontario (IO).
PIR is the lead for the Transmissions Corridor Program (TCP), working with Hydro One, MMAH and ORC to ensure strategic policy and program management of the Provincial Secondary Land Use Program (PSLUP) while ensuring primacy of transmission use is protected.
PIR is also conducting an on-going review of the province’s commercial assets through the Strategic Asset Management Unit (SAMU).
