Long-Term Infrastructure Plan Presentation to The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships August 18, 2011 1
Infrastructure Investments Since WWII Ontario s public infrastructure investment has fluctuated considerably in the decades since WWII After decades of neglect, the Province has been making historic investments in infrastructure Average Annual Change in Per Capita Net Public Stock Constant 2002 Prices 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0-50 -100 170 302 300 144 10-79 -56 1955-59 1960-64 1965-69 1970-74 1975-79 1980-84 1985-89 1990-94 1995-99 2000-04 2005-09 58-15 110 270 Sources: Statistics Canada and Ontario Ministry of Infrastructure 2
Recent Provincial Infrastructure Investments Since 2003, the Province has invested $62 billion in infrastructure levels unseen since the 1960s Despite these record levels of investment in recent years, the case for continued infrastructure investment and strategic planning remains strong, given that public infrastructure is a key economic driver that promotes growth and innovation Over the next three years, Ontario will invest more than $35 billion, including $12.8 billion in 2011-12 $ Billions 16 Total Infrastructure Investment* 14 12 10.4 10 8 6.6 7.1 6 3.6 4 2.1 1.9 2.5 2.6 2 0 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Interim * Total Infrastructure Investment is net of third-party contributions Note: Starting in 2002-03, Infrastructure Investments include the cost of tangible capital assets acquired by consolidated government organizations.

The Province s Share of the Construction Sector Market Breakdown of non-residential construction activity Publicly funded The construction sector generates approximately $25 billion of activity per year and accounts for approximately 5% of GDP Breakdown of total construction activity 100%= $25 billion 61% Other sources Public investments in infrastructure account for more than a quarter of all construction activity in the province and nearly half of all non-residential construction activity. 39% Non-residental construction Residential construction This market power gives the Province a unique window into the strengths and challenges of the sector 4
An Overview of Building Together The plan is a framework document, which sets out the government s strategic policy and investment priorities over the next decade. The document is organized in three parts: Part one looks at prospective trends that will drive demand for infrastructure Part two sets out the government s priorities on a sector by sector basis Part three examines the procurement, partnerships and asset management principles that will help implement those sector priorities and ensure effective infrastructure investment Behind the plan, the government has adopted a 10-year planning perspective for infrastructure Decisions on specific projects will be made through the Province s annual planning and budgeting process A significant number of new projects have been announced recently (details in Appendix) 5
Part I: Understanding the Future Demand for Infrastructure Decisions about what to build now require a clear understanding of the long-term trends that Ontario faces: A more global and service-oriented economy A larger, older, and more urbanized population Slower growth in the size of the workforce The effects of climate change A shift towards technological infrastructure Share of Ontario's Population Living in GTAH 55% 50% 45% 40% Increasing Urbanization 54% 51% 2011 2031 Aging Population 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Population Living in GTAH (Millions) Share of Ontario's Population Aged 65+ 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 22% 14% 2011 2031 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 Population Aged 65+ (Millions) 6
Part II: Setting Long-Term Priorities By Sector For each sector, the plan provides a series of policy goals that describe the government s investment priorities The plan places a particular emphasis on core economic infrastructure, such as roads, transit, and postsecondary education. For example: Getting Ontario s goods to market with better highways, bridges, and border crossings (e.g., the 407 East extension, the Windsor-Essex Parkway) Giving commuters fast, affordable, and environmentally sound transit options (e.g., the Eglinton-Scarborough Cross-town LRT, the Ottawa LRT, the Kitchener Waterloo LRT) Recently announced funding of $600 million will create about 25,000 spaces at colleges and universities (details in Appendix) Investments in social infrastructure will continue, helping to align public services with demographic changes. This will include: Ensuring healthier lifetime outcomes, such as expecting to see 3 to 5 major hospital expansions and redevelopment projects each year, subject to fiscal capacity, in addition to the dozens of projects that are currently under construction and those still in procurement (details in Appendix). Also supporting a gradual shift to continuum of care and community-based care models Continuing substantial investments in schools, including the roll-out of full-day kindergarten across the province 7
Part III: Improving Infrastructure Procurement Ontario has developed one of the most dynamic infrastructure markets in the world and the government is keen to build on this success Infrastructure Ontario (IO) has been a big part of that success. IO has brought more than 50 projects to the market, worth close to $21 billion in capital construction The government intends to build on that record by providing, as follows: A higher degree of centralized procurement: all provincial projects or bundles of provincial projects (including hospitals and colleges) valued at more than $50 million will be considered for procurement by IO A greater variety of AFP projects in new sectors: AFPs in the transportation, post-secondary, tourism sectors, and government services A more meaningful presence for IO in the broader public sector (BPS): over time, BPS recipients of infrastructure grants in the amount of $100 million or above will consult with IO to determine how and whether IO can help with their procurement A broader role for IO: IO will now involve itself in all types of government procurement activity, i.e., both traditional project management and alternative financing and procurement (AFP) 8
Part III (Cont d): Institutionalizing Asset Management Historically, governments have neglected their repair and maintenance obligations In recent years, the Province has worked to put in place robust asset management practices. Going forward, the Province expects asset management planning to be a normal part of infrastructure stewardship. Specifically, the government will: Regularly release a State of Ontario s Infrastructure report that will give key performance measures and benchmarks about the infrastructure portfolio Make significant provincial infrastructure grants to the BPS conditional on published asset management plans These plans will be phased in, consolidate existing requirements, and be developed in consultation with the municipal sector Use the AFP model, where possible and appropriate, to lock in lifecycle maintenance for major projects 9
Part III: Ensuring a Robust Construction and Design Sector The Province intends to work with its industry partners to address future challenges to the sector The Minister of Infrastructure will meet regularly with representatives from the construction and design sectors These meetings will provide opportunities for a dialogue and mutual exchange of views on issues affecting the industry Over the next five years, global investments in infrastructure will total approximately $10 trillion The government is eager to help the sector capitalize on that activity, and will facilitate overseas trade missions to help grow the industry abroad 10
