City of Torontos Long-term Fiscal Plan Government Finance Review

Introduction

Tomorrow's prosperity depends on getting shovels in the footing today. The government is building Ontario'south future with shovels in the ground for highways, hospitals, housing and high-speed internet in communities beyond the province. This is how Ontario volition create the conditions for long-term growth.

The government is Building Ontario.

Building Transit and Transportation

Infrastructure investments in highway expansion and rehabilitation projects, likewise every bit in public transit networks including new subways, Get Rail Expansion, the Hamilton LRT and Northeastern Passenger Rails will become Ontario moving again. These projects will create expert jobs, ensure communities are better connected by road and transit, and contribute to a strong economic recovery for every region of the province.

The people of Ontario accept spent too much time facing traffic, gridlock and delays. Gridlock already costs the Greater Toronto Expanse (GTA) $eleven billion per year in lost productivity, makes life more than expensive and impacts the quality of life for everyone. As the province's population grows, Ontario needs new infrastructure to help movement people and goods. This is why the government continues to make new investments in the province'southward transportation network. The Province is investing an additional $1.6 billion over the adjacent half dozen years to support large bridge rehabilitation projects and advance cardinal highway expansion projects, including the Bradford Featherbed and Highway 413.

Building Highway 413

The Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH), one of the fastest growing regions in North America, is expected to attract one meg new people every five years, reaching nearly xv million by 2051. Addressing transportation needs in the GGH region is essential to the competitiveness of the economy. Without action, the projected population growth volition overwhelm existing infrastructure and brand life more expensive for families.

In Baronial 2020, the Province confirmed the preferred road for a new 400-series highway and transit corridor across York, Peel and Halton regions that will help alleviate traffic congestion and improve the movement of people and goods across the province. The corridor will extend from Highway 400 in the east to the Highway 401/407 express toll road (ETR) interchange expanse in the west and will include a iv-to-six-lane 400-series highway, separate infrastructure defended for transit and rider stations, and intelligent transportation and truck parking. Preliminary design of the preferred route has commenced for this essential project.

Building the Bradford Bypass

Both Simcoe County and York Region are expected to experience rapid growth over the next x to 20 years and investing in a new corridor is needed to relieve gridlock on existing eastward-west local roads. This is why the Province is committed to fully funding the construction of the Bradford Bypass, a new 16.ii-kilometre four-lane expressway that will connect Highway 400 and Highway 404 in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury and the Town of E Gwillimbury.

A Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment Update Report for the project is currently underway and is expected to be completed by December 2022. Ontario remains committed to ensuring environmental impacts are assessed and mitigated in an open up and transparent fashion in accord with the streamlined planning and assessment process. Procurement is underway and construction of the bridge crossing at County Road 4 and the future Bradford Bypass (early works) is expected to begin in fall 2022 and exist completed by 2024. This marks another step towards congestion relief for drivers — including farmers who depend on highways to get their appurtenances to market.

Building Highways

Ontario is making smart investments in highways, roads and bridges to strengthen, rehabilitate and aggrandize the provincial highway network. The 2021 Ontario Highways Program includes information on more than 580 expansion and rehabilitation projects that are either underway or currently planned.

This includes Ontario's bold $28.5 billion program for the largest subway expansion in Canadian history with the all-new Ontario Line, the three-stop Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge North Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown W Extension.

Through future stages of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project, the Province is also committed to establishing connectivity to ane of the region's largest employment and economic hubs, Pearson International Airport.

The combined subway projects will support more than xvi,000 jobs annually during construction. By 2041, the projects will have a total daily ridership of roughly 620,000 and expand the existing network by l per cent. Contempo milestones include:

• The tunnel boring machines for the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West are expected to go far in Canada in January 2022 and get-go tunnelling in the spring.
• In May 2021, the Province awarded contracts to design, build and finance the tunnels for the Eglinton Crosstown Westward Extension and the Scarborough Subway Extension projects.
• Over the grade of this yr, Ontario has officially broken footing on the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension.
• In June 2021, the Province invited qualified companies to submit bids for early on works at Exhibition Station that will support both hereafter Ontario Line and GO Rail Expansion construction.
• In July 2021, the Province announced it is moving alee with a 4th station at Clark Avenue along the Yonge Due north Subway Extension. Clark Station will serve 2,500 riders during the busiest travel times and offer seamless transfers betwixt the Yonge N Subway Extension and the planned co-operative of York Region'southward Viva Orange charabanc rapid transit service.
• In September 2021, Ontario released the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the design and delivery of the stations, rail and systems work for the Scarborough Subway Extension. A shortlist of qualified proponents will be announced in early 2022 post-obit the close of the RFQ.

The Province introduced hourly GO train service forth the Lakeshore W Line between West Harbour GO Station and Union Station each day of the week. The extension of service will provide commuters a closer station with increased access by walking, biking and local transit.

Edifice the Kitchener Go Runway Expansion

The Province is taking action to deliver significant advancements to GO service between Toronto and Kitchener. In April 2021, the Province and Metrolinx released the Preliminary Blueprint Business Case, which highlights the benefits of the two-mode, all-day GO service project, with more railroad train service and shorter travel times. The Province also launched a procurement for improved infrastructure such equally track upgrades between Georgetown and Kitchener that will help enable frequent two-manner train service.

The Kitchener GO Rail Expansion will transform the line into a true rapid transit experience with more than trips at every station and across seven municipalities. The Kitchener Line is projected to generate 39,000 jobs owing to better transit service and have an estimated 54,000 residents within walking distance from a station with two-way, all-day service.

Expanding GO Train Service to London

Ontario is expanding Get train service to Southwestern Ontario with weekday trips betwixt London and Toronto. Extending Go railroad train service to London is part of the Province'southward transportation plan for Southwestern Ontario.

In October 2021, Metrolinx launched a airplane pilot project that will provide weekday GO train trips between London and Marriage Station in Toronto. The new service will extend beyond GO Transit'due south Kitchener Line and volition include stops in St. Marys and Stratford. The Province is working closely with VIA Rail and CN to extend service and explore ways to improve the speed and frequency of passenger rails service.

In May 2021, Ontario moved some other step closer to this goal with the release of the Northeastern Passenger Track Service Initial Business Case.

The Province, the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC) and Metrolinx are moving forward with feasibility work for a route that would provide service from Toronto. The government committed $five one thousand thousand through the 2021 Budget to support this feasibility piece of work. Over the last year, the ONTC has conducted tests on the tracks to assess their readiness for service and the amount of work required to restore them to operating condition. The proposed service route would support economical opportunities, the tourism industry and amend access to wellness care, teaching, as well as other critical services.

The government plans to innovate legislative amendments to the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission Act that would farther raise and strengthen governance, accountability and oversight of the ONTC and its lath. The proposed legislative amendments volition amend position the agency to deliver transportation services in Northern Ontario that ensure connectivity and contribute to economical prosperity by providing access to work, businesses, didactics and leisure activities.

Building the Band of Burn down

Promoting Prosperity in the Far N of Ontario

The Far Due north is a vast region in Ontario that has a population of approximately 24,000 people, of which 90 per cent place as First Nations, living mainly in remote, fly-in communities. It is also a region of staggering beauty and significant economical potential for its communities and its people.

The Far North Act, 2010 provides community-based state-use planning in the Far North through a articulation planning procedure between First Nations and the Province.

Ontario is proposing amendments to theFar Northward Act, 2010 that would go along current land-use plans in place and retain provisions that let for joint land-use planning with Far North First Nations, while amending or repealing current prohibitions on development in areas without an approved land-use plan. The amendments will encourage collaboration betwixt Ontario and Kickoff Nations in the Far North and remove barriers to economic development. Examples of significant legacy infrastructure projects that would benefit from these changes are the all-season roads for Showtime Nation communities and mineral development opportunities in the Ring of Burn down. Proposed changes would likewise encourage the apply of traditional noesis and perspectives on protection and conservation for the purposes of state-use planning.

The proposed amendments to the Far North Act, 2010 would support a more stable environment for investment that will bring jobs and prosperity to workers in Ontario's N. These proposals would help support the development of valuable critical minerals that are used in various industries and products. Examples include cobalt, lithium, manganese, nickel, graphite and copper, which can be institute in batteries for low-emission electric vehicles every bit well as free energy storage systems. In addition, zinc, platinum group elements, rare world elements, titanium and nickel are used in medical equipment and technologies including cardiac implants, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, monitoring devices and fibres for prosthetic devices.

Building the Road to the Ring of Burn Together

The Ring of Fire is one of the virtually promising mineral deposits in the history of Ontario, and will play a key role in the time to come of clean manufacturing in Ontario. It will create jobs, unlock critical minerals and bring multi-generational economic prosperity to Northern and Start Nation communities. All-flavor, dependable road access is a prerequisite to unlocking opportunity in the region that will provide a corridor to prosperity for the remote First Nations living in the Far N. Critical legacy infrastructure such as all‑season roads and loftier-speed internet volition as well amend the well-beingness of First Nations and Northern communities as well equally enhancing access to wellness and social services, supporting food security and reducing the overall cost of living.

Marten Falls and Webequie Showtime Nations are leading Individual Environmental Assessments for proposed all-season road projects to meet the needs of their communities. In October 2021, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks approved the Terms of Reference for the Marten Falls Community Access Road Ecology Cess and the Terms of Reference for the Webequie Supply Route Environmental Cess.

The Province has committed shut to $1 billion to support the planning and construction of the all‑season road network and other projects, including recent investments in high-speed net, road upgrades and customs supports.

The Ring of Fire is a critical projection and information technology requires a full federal funding partner. The Government of Canada must step up and match Ontario's commitments. For years, Ontario has called on the federal government to invest in this projection, and now is the time to come to the table and support this economical opportunity of national importance.

Edifice Customs Infrastructure

Building and repairing municipal infrastructure is essential for providing reliable and sustainable services to the people of Ontario. These investments directly support public safety, job cosmos and economical growth.

This is why Ontario is doubling its annual investment in the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) program with an additional $one billion over 5 years.

Building More Homes

In June 2019, Ontario passed the More Homes, More Pick Act, 2019. The comprehensive legislation was central to the government's More than Homes, More Choice: Ontario'southward Housing Supply Activeness Program, which outlined a suite of legislative, regulatory and policy changes that have helped lay the groundwork needed to tackle Ontario'southward housing crunch by eliminating duplication and barriers to help build more homes for the people of Ontario. While cut red tape, the government has held firm to its commitment of maintaining protections for public health and safety, the environment, the Greenbelt, agricultural lands and Ontario'southward rich natural and cultural heritage.

Initiatives under Ontario's Housing Supply Action Programme are already working to streamline and speed up the development of new housing. For example:

• To build more homes that meet the needs of the people of Ontario, $25.6 billion was invested in new housing in 2020 in the province — $4.5 billion more than in 2019. This tendency has continued — the year-to-date investment in 2021 is 49 per cent higher than the equivalent period in 2020¹;
• More homes started construction in 2020 (73,838) than in whatever year of the past decade. In addition, twelvemonth-to-date starts in 2021 are currently sixteen per cent higher than the equivalent period in 2020²; and
• Rental construction has surged — rental housing starts in 2020 (10,954) were the highest since 1992; rental starts to engagement in 2021 are currently 14 per cent higher than the equivalent period in 2020³.

When fully implemented by 2022, efforts to streamline development approvals volition result in accelerated timelines and cost savings. The authorities is as well making additional improvements to the country-use planning system, like allowing municipalities to delegate small-scale changes to their zoning by-laws to their staff to administer.

The government is proposing enhancements to the Brownfields Financial Tax Incentive Program to encourage the rehabilitation of contaminated state and support new housing development.

The Province will go on to work with all levels of authorities to help ensure that everyone in Ontario has a domicile they tin can afford.

While Ontario is already seeing signs of progress and housing starts have trended upward, there is withal more to do. As a next step, the authorities proposes to establish a Housing Affordability Job Forcefulness to provide recommendations to the Government minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on potential further actions to make housing more affordable for Ontario families.

Building High-Speed Net

Loftier-speed net is disquisitional for admission to vital services similar health care, education and employment, while increasing economic and entrepreneurial opportunities for the people of Ontario.

Additionally, the Province is investing up to $64 one thousand thousand in the Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) project to bring loftier-speed net to 63,000 more homes and businesses across Southwestern Ontario. In add-on, Ontario is investing in initiatives to ameliorate connectivity in Northern Ontario, including $10.9 meg to bring faster internet connections to several First Nations and Northern communities.

Ontario is as well delivering on the government's plan to expedite broadband admission by issuing a earth-leading broadband expansion programme guideline that further supports and deepens positive and collaborative relationships between Internet Service Providers (ISPs), utility companies and municipalities, while holding all parties to account. This partnership will assistance back up timely and efficient expansion of broadband across the province.

Building Stronger Supply Chains

The COVID‑nineteen pandemic revealed challenges in securing disquisitional supplies and equipment, such every bit personal protective equipment (PPE), to safeguard the people of Ontario, including frontline workers and vulnerable persons. Since the onset of the pandemic, Ontario has been procuring these supplies and equipment through its traditional suppliers as well as working directly with manufacturers, including Ontario-based vendors that were able to retool and respond to Ontario'southward phone call to action. For example, Barrie-based visitor Southmedic Inc., with support from the Ontario Together Fund, is leveraging existing product processes, materials and supply chain networks to strengthen Ontario's supply of PPE.

On Nov sixteen, 2020, the government formally announced the cosmos of Supply Ontario, a new centralized procurement agency that will enable a whole-of-regime approach to purchasing appurtenances and services for the public, broader public sector and health sectors — leveraging provincial purchasing ability to ensure consistent admission to high-quality and reliable products at the best value for the people of Ontario. To further strengthen Ontario'southward supply chains, the regime is as well introducing the Building Ontario Business initiative to assistance level the playing field past reducing barriers and giving Ontario and Canadian companies opportunities to secure public-sector contracts and create new opportunities and jobs for Ontario.

Transforming the Government's Arroyo to Real Estate

While existent estate is one of the government's greatest resources, at that place is no consistent framework on addressing best practices to guide decision-making. Taking a government-wide approach will help drive bacteria processes and greater efficiencies, and allow the regime to realize greater value nimbly and efficiently from government real estate, maximizing the value for Ontario taxpayers.

This is why the government will establish a "Centre of Realty Excellence" (CORE), creating one holistic sight line beyond the public sector for the Ontario government to make up one's mind priority surplus properties aligned with key initiatives, including edifice long-term care.
