Building a better tomorrow

This document, Building a Better Tomorrow, establishes a framework for planning, financing and procuring the public infrastructure that will help make the government’s vision of the future a reality and improve the delivery of public services in every part of the province. [...] The multi-year plans will set out the priorities and timelines for the creation and renewal of critical public infrastructure that will improve the delivery of essential public services and build a quality of life in Ontario that is second to none. [...] This framework includes: • an overview of the Government of Ontario’s infrastructure planning process; • key considerations to be addressed in planning, designing, financing and managing public infrastructure initiatives; • the roles and responsibilities of government ministries and agencies, municipalities, broader public-sector partners and the private sector in approving and managing the planni [...] A long-term lease may be used, with the private sector transferring ownership of the infrastructure asset to the government or the transfer partner at the end of the lease. [...] The precise manner in which initiatives will be planned, delivered and implemented will likely vary, depending on the nature of the initiative and the capacity/expertise available in the relevant line ministry.
