GOVERNMENT CONDITION INDICATOR

The GCI comprises five possible conditions, ranging from very good to very poor, and a threshold below

which the infrastructure is no longer deemed in satisfactory condition. When the condition of the

infrastructure falls below the threshold, it usually has an AMD, which represents the value of the

investments required to restore it at least to a satisfactory condition or replace it. In such a situation, the

organization responsible must ensure that individual health and safety are not compromised, failing which

the infrastructure must be decommissioned.

Indicator Condition Description

A Very goodThe infrastructure is generally new or has been refurbished. It provides service free of

interruption or slowdowns. It requires little asset maintenance work.

B Good

The infrastructure shows a low level of degradation and defect. It requires some asset

maintenance work. Generally, the infrastructure is in the second third of its useful life.

Interruptions or service slowdowns may occasionally occur.

C Satisfactory

The infrastructure shows a moderate level of degradation and defect. It requires regular

asset maintenance work. Generally, the infrastructure is in the final third of its useful life.

Interruptions or service slowdowns occasionally occur. Risk mitigation measures are

implemented as needed.

D Poor

The infrastructure shows a high level of degradation and defect. It requires significant, and

sometimes urgent, asset maintenance work. Generally, the infrastructure has surpassed

its useful life. Interruptions or service slowdowns occur often. Significant risk mitigation

measures are implemented as needed.

E Very poor

The infrastructure shows a very high level of degradation and defect. It requires very

significant, and often urgent, asset maintenance work. Generally, the infrastructure has

clearly surpassed its useful life. Interruptions and service slowdowns occur very often.

Very significant risk mitigation measures are implemented.

AFFAIRES MUNICIPALES ET HABITATION

INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT THE MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES MUNICIPALES ET DE L’HABITATION VISION The MAMH aims to be a key partner for municipalities in developing sustainable and dynamic living environments that appeal to all citizens. ORIENTATIONS The Department's mission is to support municipal administration, housing and sustainable planning, development and occupancy of the territory in the public's best interests. By providing significant funding for rehabilitating vulnerable municipal infrastructure, the MAMH contributes to their sustainability and greater community resilience. RESPONSIBILITIES The MAMH administers large funding budgets to meet the priority needs of municipalities. It must make sure that projects for which financial assistance is requested comply with the rules, and it keeps account of expenditures related to government investments. The Department also supports smaller municipalities in developing more complex projects, guiding them toward plausible and cost-effective ways of achieving the desired results. The MAMH's financial assistance programs offer financial support to Québec municipalities so that they can provide and maintain basic services to their citizens. Its investments can also help improve communities’ quality of life and their environment. The MAMH uses various formal and informal mechanisms to consult municipalities, making sure the programs meet their needs. Several programs are adjusted to take account of the fact that due to their limited financial capacity and sparse, dispersed population, small municipalities often have trouble making the investments they need to upgrade their basic infrastructure and bring it up to standard. The terms and conditions of the programs are underpinned by rules and standards approved by the Conseil du trésor. The MAMH is guided by those standards and other criteria for assessing funding applications when it selects projects. The MAMH gives priority to projects aimed at regulatory compliance (Regulation respecting the quality of drinking water and Regulation respecting municipal wastewater treatment works) and those that focus on public health and safety issues.

Affaires municipales et Habitation

C.10

The following MAMH-administered programs support municipal infrastructure projects:

MAMH programs that provide provincial funding only They evolve based on municipal needs and investments authorized in the QIP:

• PRIMEAU : the purpose of this program is to help municipalities with projects to build, repair or expand drinking water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, as well as other projects to rehabilitate water and sewer lines;

• RÉCIM : this program offers assistance to municipalities with limited financial resources to maintain their infrastructure; this program applies to things like administrative offices (city halls, borough offices), fire stations, municipal garages, warehouses and community centres;

• PRIMADA : this program provides financial support for municipalities that have adopted policies for seniors and the MADA action plan to carry out small construction, repair or expansion projects on infrastructure used by seniors;

• PIQM : this program helps municipalities carry out various infrastructure work based on their needs. MAMH programs that provide both provincial and federal funding

These programs stem from specific agreements between the Québec and federal governments:

• TECQ : this program transfers to municipalities a portion of the federal gasoline excise tax revenue plus a contribution from the Gouvernement du Québec for drinking water, wastewater treatment, local road and other types of infrastructure projects; under the TECQ, all eligible project expenditures are fully

refundable; a new five-year funding phase was announced for 2019-2023;

• NFCCQ, Fonds des petites collectivités component : this program offers financial support to municipalities with 100,000 or fewer residents to maintain and upgrade their water infrastructure, as well as for their cultural, tourism, recreational and sports facilities and local and regional airports;

• FCCQ, Collectivités, Grandes villes and Grands Projets components : the purpose of this program is to provide municipalities with water infrastructure to improve the quality of drinking water or reduce the adverse effects of wastewater on the environment and public health; it also aims to provide communities or regions with service infrastructure that can spur their development in terms of culture, economy, sports and tourism, among other things;

• FEPTEU : this program supports projects involving drinking water and wastewater treatment infrastructure in an effort to boost the economy;

• FIMEAU: this new program resulted from the IBA for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program; it funds work to build, repair, expand or add municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

The PIQM, NFCCQ, FCCQ and FEPTEU programs are closed to new grant applications, but projects that have already received confirmation of financial assistance are maintained. The MAMH is also responsible for managing agreements made with the federal government.


Projects funded under those programs are audited by the MAMH or by an external auditor. The purpose of these audits is to make sure requests for payment cover eligible work and ensure compliance with the memoranda of understanding provisions. Lastly, the MAMH obtains information from municipalities about the condition of their water infrastructure in order to get an objective and reliable picture.

MUNICIPALITIES RESPONSIBILITIES As infrastructure owners, municipalities are responsible for its construction, maintenance, operation and funding as well as regulatory compliance. They must obtain the funding they need for their projects, in particular by way of authorized borrowing bylaws. Once their expenditure claims have been approved by the MAMH, municipalities receive government refunds. Each MAMH funding program defines its own municipal reporting requirements for the refunding of expenditures. That means the municipalities are responsible for evaluating and documenting the condition of their infrastructure, defining their needs, exercising sound asset management based on the desired level of service and periodically updating the information. DESCRIPTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO This AMPI describes the municipal aqueduct and sewer infrastructure and the roadways above drinking water and wastewater pipes. The municipal water infrastructure network consists of catchment facilities, drinking water and wastewater pipes, drinking water treatment plants, reservoirs, pressure control stations, retention basins, wastewater treatment plants, and pumping stations and overflow facilities.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Objectives MAMH programs are primarily intended to maintain and renew infrastructures that provide basic services to the public. The MAMH has adopted the following objectives in order to help sustain municipal infrastructures:

• Support investments to replace municipal infrastructure in vulnerable condition, especially drinking water distribution and wastewater collection systems;

• Support investments to upgrade infrastructure to meet the standards stipulated in applicable environmental regulations;

• Support investments to create new basic services for the public.

To that end, in 2019-2020, the MAMH announced two new programs making $4.9 billion in total government

financial assistance (from both Canada and Québec) available to support high-priority municipal projects.

They are the 2019-2023 TECQ and FIMEAU programs. Investments made and planned

The MAMH's funding to support municipal infrastructure investments made in 2018-2019 amounted to

$642.5 million, while the 2019-2020 probable expenditure was $592.1 million.

Most of the investments made in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 were in municipal water infrastructure projects

such as projects to build, repair or upgrade drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities to standards, or to rehabilitate water infrastructure. Beside water infrastructure, those funds were used for municipal community, recreational, cultural and other infrastructure projects.


Investments also allowed municipalities to complete or continue the following major projects:

• Jean‑R.‑Marcotte wastewater treatment station, disinfection unit – Montréal – Construction;

• Wastewater retention basins – Montréal – Construction;

• Installation of a sanitary sewer and expansion of the water network surrounding lac à la Tortue in Shawinigan;

• Work in Laval to control rain-caused wastewater spills;

• Centre des glaces – Québec City – Construction;

• Colisée de Trois-Rivières – Construction.

The financial assistance that the MAMH plans for 2020-2021 will total $587.0 million and will allow the achievement of the aforementioned objectives.

The decrease in investments between 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 is mainly due to the fact that some federal

subsidy programs such as the 2014-2018 TECQ and FEPTEU programs ended in 2019-2020. However, the

MAMH announced two new programs in 2019, namely the 2019-2023 TECQ and FIMEAU, which will progressively increase investments in the coming years. These programs will make an additional $4.9 billion in government funding available to carry out high-priority projects, $3.3 billion from Canada and $1.6 billion from Québec.

• The 2019-2023 TECQ program includes investments of approximately $3.4 billion (from both Canada

and Québec) for new drinking water, wastewater, local road network and other types of infrastructure projects that will be prioritized between now and 2023;

• The FIMEAU program includes investments of approximately $1.5 billion (from both Canada and Québec) for new projects to build, repair, expand or add municipal drinking water and wastewater infrastructure that will be prioritized by 2025.

value. 6 49% of the 4,948 wastewater treatment facilities are in satisfactory condition or better, which represents 77% of the replacement value.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The CERIU has collected data from Québec's municipalities that has enabled it to structure and consolidate its knowledge of municipal water infrastructure since 2014. The CERIU project is being carried out in cooperation with the main municipal actors. Almost 930 Québec municipalities are served by a water system. The inventory of the linear infrastructure network is based on data from 810 municipalities, consisting of 95% of the population served and 87% of the municipalities in Québec that have water infrastructure. The inventory of water facilities is based on data from 835 participating municipalities, since they are representative of the water infrastructure network. The participating municipalities are listed in Appendix 1 of CERIU's 2019 final report on the condition of Québec's municipal water infrastructure (available here in French only): https://ceriu.qc.ca/bibliotheque/rapport-

annuel-2019-du-portrait-infrastructures-eau-municipalites-du-quebec-piemq. The figures in the above table were drawn from this report. Data will continue to be collected and processed in the coming years to maintain a current, more comprehensive and representative picture of the condition of Québec's municipal water infrastructure, in line with government guidelines.

https://ceriu.qc.ca/bibliotheque/rapport-2019-du-portrait-infrastructures-eau-municipalites-du-quebec-piemq


Variation in inventory When data was updated for 2019, it was found that the number of water infrastructure facilities decreased as compared to the 2018 report due to the fact that some municipalities consolidated some water infrastructure facilities. Methodology Since the MAMH does not own any water infrastructure, the inventory and assessment of its condition are based on available data provided by the municipalities. In this regard, where there were no inspections or specific diagnostics, the missing figures were estimated based on the most reliable available information, including the number of breakdowns and the remaining life of the infrastructure. This methodology makes it possible to determine a realistic average condition indicator for the purposes of the AMPI, which can be used to plan investments and monitor the effects of investments on the changes in infrastructure condition. Data collection The CERIU compiled most of the data on the civil engineering structures from the Plans d’intervention pour le renouvellement des conduites d’eau potable, d’égouts et des chaussées, whose purpose is to identify priority municipal work. From 2014 to 2018 the CERIU obtained data about the water facilities (non-linear infrastructure) using a dedicated form which the participating municipalities were asked to complete. The CERIU then confirmed the information it obtained, standardized the nomenclature and drew up estimates for any missing data. Assessment of infrastructure condition

The CERIU assessed the condition of civil engineering structures by modelling the network based on data from inspections and detailed analyses; segments that were not inspected or that did not have breakdown logs were assessed based on their remaining useful life. In those specific cases, the assessment reflects a theoretical condition based on risk of age-related breakdown.

For non-linear infrastructure such as treatment plants and pumping stations, assessment was based on their useful life and reflects a risk of age-related breakdown, rather than a physical condition based on a list of work arising from an inspection.

The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and average condition indicator are weighted according to the replacement value.

Inspection and data update

Continuation of this project requires data to be updated. Therefore, municipalities have been invited to forward annually updated versions of their action plans to rehabilitate roads and drinking water and sewer infrastructure, together with a new version of the form pertaining to their non-linear assets. The updates are sent after inspecting their infrastructure or completing work.

The CERIU also plans to include some projects subsidized by the MAMH in its report each year, as the municipalities supply the CERIU with the relevant reporting.

For this purpose, in its 2019 report, the CERIU included subsidized work to rehabilitate water lines carried out by municipalities under the MAMH's FEPTEU, PRIMEAU component 2, PIQM sub-component 1.5 and

2014-2018 TECQ programs, as well as updated data from some cities with more than 100,000 residents.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Variation

The CERIU project to create the Portrait des infrastructures en eau des municipalités du Québec is a major project that will extend over several years and require cooperation from municipalities. The magnitude of the project and the amount of data to collect, process and integrate makes it impossible to update all of the data every year. We will therefore need to wait for several subsequent reports from the CERIU before being able to see any trends or draw conclusions as to changes in infrastructure condition.

The variation in results presented in the 2019-2020 AMPI shows that, overall, the average condition indicators

remain relatively stable for the entire municipal water infrastructure network, despite a significant increase in the proportion of buildings that are in satisfactory condition or better. The variations are mainly due to the following causes:

• Some municipalities have increased the remaining useful life for some of their major non-linear water infrastructure for which the replacement value is quite high; this resulted in assets with a condition of D or E in 2018 improving to B or C in 2019;

• Data drawn from the sample for 2018 became a year older; the condition showed in this report takes aging into account to estimate the natural degradation of water infrastructure;

• Water line and roadway inventory and condition data for 83 additional municipalities were added to the existing data bank;

• The auscultation logs for wastewater lines in Montréal and Québec were updated for 2018;

• Some data was updated to take into account work carried out from 2015 to 2018 on water lines for 110 municipalities (including the cities of Montréal and Québec), consisting approximately 12% of the municipalities that have water infrastructure.


The condition of linear infrastructure for all of the municipalities listed in the CERIU 2019 report entitled Portrait des infrastructures en eau des municipalités du Québec was assessed between 2015 and 2019. A more accurate picture will be established every five years once all municipalities have submitted updated action plans. Until then, integration of a larger quantity of work carried out under the MAMH's subsidy programs will continue, as will updates of the data of the largest cities. Non-linear infrastructure, for which the condition was assessed mainly between 2014 and 2017 for all municipalities, will be gradually re-assessed using a new, more detailed form. Variations in the results for non-linear infrastructure should therefore be expected in the 2020 report. Thus, the change in the overall picture results primarily from a larger number of observations and a partial update of data from large cities. The AMPI for subsequent years should provide a more accurate description of the change in condition of each infrastructure category as the data bank will be updated and knowledge of infrastructure condition will be enhanced.


C.18

INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT THE SOCIÉTÉ D’HABITATION DU QUÉBEC

VISION

The mission of the SHQ is to meet the housing needs of Québec citizens through an integrated, sustainable approach. It aims to be the leader in housing, recognized for its commitment to improving the quality of life for Quebecers and its partnerships with communities. To do so, the SHQ:

• Supports Quebecers by providing low-income and affordable housing and an array of residential construction, renovation, adaptation and home ownership programs;

• Employs an integrated sustainable housing approach, contributing to the development of a variety of affordable, quality dwelling units and stimulating innovation in public-private housing initiatives;

• Follows and participates in current major government orientations, such as economic and social inclusion, combating homelessness, preventive health measures, occupancy and vitality of territories, and the Northern Plan.

ORIENTATIONS To accomplish its mission, the SHQ has adopted the following orientations for the infrastructure under its responsibility:

• Improving Quebecers’ standard of living;

• Developing and innovating in housing. RESPONSIBILITIES

The SHQ is under the authority of the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and is the main government body responsible for housing in Québec. Under its enabling Act it has the following responsibilities:

• To make low-income housing available to Quebecers;

• To make home ownership accessible;

• To advise the Minister on the requirements, priorities and objectives of all housing sectors. More specifically, the SHQ develops budget allocation and distribution rules and approves budgets allocated to each body. It also grants a significant amount of autonomy to its partners in a risk-management and results-based management approach. Its primary role is therefore one of supervision, support and quality control. It relies on the service centres to provide frontline support to bodies, especially in developing and planning a PPI or preparing an application for an RMI or special project budget. Through its NPHP and the RMI budget, the SHQ ensures Québec's social housing network - including all low-income housing it owns or that is owned by bodies such as HBs, co-ops and housing NPOs – is maintained in good condition. For the purposes of such management, the SHQ makes no distinction between the housing complexes it owns directly and those owned by other bodies.

2020-2021 Annual Management Plans for

Public Infrastructure Investments C.19

The NPHP is designed for low-income households selected according to their socio-economic status.

Available housing is assigned according to the category of the household applying (senior, family), how

many people (single person, couple with or without children) and the priority of the application. Each

household pays rent equivalent to 25% of income.

There are four components to this program:

• Regular Public Component: buildings owned and managed by the SHQ or HBs;

• Inuit Public Component : buildings owned by the SHQ or the Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau and managed by the latter, as well as two health centres (Inuulitsivik and Tulattavik);

• Regular Private Component: privately owned buildings managed by co-ops or NPOs;

• Regular Private Component Outside Reserve: buildings owned by Habitation Métis du Nord and managed by Corporation Waskahegen.

To ensure sound management of HLM buildings and the investments made in them, the SHQ relies on:

• Knowledge of the housing network and identification of work to perform, as entered on the BSI;

• Investment planning through an electronic application that takes charge of the PPI and does the following operations: presentation, authorization and follow-up of RMI budget applications;

• Budget allocation based on an assessment of the need for intervention as reported in the BSI;

• Performing the work;

• Accountability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO

The SHQ owns 3,769 buildings, 2,463 in its regular public component and 1,306 in the Inuit public component,

representing a total of 45,211 low-income dwelling units.

THE BODIES SUBSIDIZED BY THE SHQ RESPONSIBILITIES

Since they own their buildings, the bodies subsidized by the SHQ are responsible for construction, maintenance, operation and financing, including making sure they comply with applicable regulations.

More specifically, each body (HBs, co-ops and housing NPOs) is responsible for having its PPIs and annual

RMI budget applications approved by its board of directors. Although the bodies retain their decision-making powers, they are responsible for using their respective service centres to draw up their PPIs and prepare and submit RMI budget applications. HBs must also ensure that the municipalities agree to assume their share of the financial burden before the RMI budget applications are submitted to the SHQ. A service centre support bodies in it’s own territorie for the elaboration of PPIs as well as the preparation and transmission of the RMI budget applications. The service centre prepares the latter in accordance to the content and format determined by the SHQ; the service centre takes into account the SHQ’s priority criteria for advising bodies.


C.20

The service centre submits the PPIs and RMI budget applications prepared to the bodies for their approval. Afterwards, the service center sends the budget applications to the SHQ. It should be noted that the service centre manages all renovation projects funded from the RMI envelope. Moreover, some bodies, while not serving any other bodies, act as their own service centre. Bodies subsidized by the SHQ are responsible for evaluating and documenting the condition of their infrastructure, defining needs, exercising sound management based on the desired level of service and periodically updating this information. DESCRIPTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO The infrastructure inventory belonging to bodies subsidized by the SHQ is composed of 3,807 buildings,

1,990 of them owned by HBs for the regular public component, 769 owned by the Kativik Municipal Housing

Bureau for the Inuit public component, and 1,048 owned by co-ops, housing NPOs and HBs for the private

component, for a total of 27,621 low-rent dwelling units.

1 It should be noted that investments made under the AccèsLogis Québec program and for the construction of some other private dwelling units are

not considered for the purposes of the AMPI, since in those cases the SHQ is not responsible for maintaining the infrastructure assets.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Objectives The SHQ's investments should allow the following objectives to be achieved by 2021:

• Adjust responses to the evolving and varied needs of the public and communities;

Review 100% of the subsidy programs in operation every five years.

• Create conditions that will ensure the quality and sustainability of the real estate portfolio:

Raise the condition indicator for all buildings in the public housing network assessed at D or E in December 2017 to a condition indicator of C or better;

Implement BSIs in 25% of the pool of privately subsidized rental housing over a five-year cycle.

• Stimulate housing innovation:

Support four new innovative housing projects.


C.22

The Société d’habitation du Québec

Investments made by the SHQ in its buildings in 2018-2019 totalled $90.5 million. Probable investments

for 2019-2020 total $87.4 million. Here are a few examples of projects carried out with those investments:

• Work to firebreak partitions and upgrading of the dwelling units in a building in Québec City;

• Repair of the envelope and upgrading of dwelling units in two buildings in Longueuil;

• Repair of mechanical and electrical systems as well as all the common areas in the Girouard housing complex in Saint-Hyacinthe.

In 2020-2021 the SHQ will invest $82.9 million to maintain its infrastructure inventory. Here are a few

examples of projects that will be completed with those investments:

• Renovation of doors, windows and roofing, as well as upgrading of housing units in Trois-Rivières;

• Complete renovation of the building envelope and reconfiguration of balconies and privacy walls in Rimouski.

These investments are supported by the RMI budget allocated annually to bodies covered by the NPHP. The bodies use it to maintain and restore the buildings that the SHQ owns so that they can reduce their AMD. That maintenance and restoration work included renovating building exteriors and mechanical systems (plumbing and ventilation), as well as upgrading dwelling units. RMI budgets thus make it possible to maintain the condition and sustainability of our collective heritage of

low-rent housing units and ensure that the living environments of households benefitting from the NPHP

are healthy and safe.

The bodies subsidized by the SHQ

The SHQ's 2018-2019 financial assistance used to support investments made by the bodies amounted to

$62.4 million. Probable investments for 2019-2020 totalled $75.0 million. Those amounts allowed for the renovation of building enclosures and mechanical systems (plumbing and ventilation) as well as upgrades of dwelling units. Here are a few examples of projects carried out with those investments:

• Renovation of the building enclosures in Terrebonne and Saint-Jérôme;

• Repair of the exterior cladding, balconies, and correction of the slope in Coaticook;

• Reconstruction of warehouses at the Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau in Nunavik.

In 2020-2021 the SHQ's financial assistance for the bodies' infrastructure maintenance investments amounts

to $53.1 million. Here are a few examples of projects that will be completed with these investments:

• Repair of doors, windows, masonry and common areas in Sorel-Tracy;

• Repair of the exterior cladding and upgrading of dwelling units in Outaouais.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Variation in inventory Compared to the previous period, the inventory of buildings owned by bodies subsidized by the SHQ increased by 13 buildings, for a new total of 3,807. This variation is due to:

• Construction of 14 buildings for the Inuit public component in the villages of Aupaluk, Inukjuak, Kangiqsujuaq, Kuujjuaq, Puvirnituq and Salluit;

• Disposition of a building in the regular public component. Inspection and data update The SHQ requires that all buildings be inspected every five years. The third inspection cycle of the HLM housing network will be completed on December 31, 2020. Currently, 94% of the network has been inspected, which is 7,131 out of 7,576 buildings. Methodology As part of a standardized inspection process introduced by the SHQ in 2009, buildings are inventoried and inspected when the BSIs are prepared. Each BSI is produced after an inspection to assess each component of the buildings and dwelling units. With this uniform and structured methodology, technical information is compiled on the components that could affect public health and safety, building integrity, component operation or service availability. In addition, a building's condition can change between inspections following an update or the emergence of a deficiency that will eventually require work. The SHQ uses the same processes for its own buildings as for those owned by the bodies it subsidizes.

The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and average condition indicator are weighted according to the replacement value. The AMD was extrapolated by comparing the number of dwelling units in the buildings inspected with the total number of dwellings.

Changes in condition

The average condition indicator of buildings owned by the SHQ and bodies subsidized by the SHQ remained relatively stable. That is due to effective planning of the asset maintenance work performed during the year to prevent buildings from deteriorating, especially those in satisfactory or better condition (A, B or C).

Changes in AMD

Overall, the AMD decreased by $1.7 million in the past year. This variation is mainly due to the following causes:

• The $20.7 million increase is primarily attributable to the natural deterioration caused by aging of

buildings in the regular public component;

• The reduction of $22.4 million in AMD is due to work performed during the year on buildings with a poorcondition indicator (D), restoring their condition so as to provide quality dwelling units. That work wasdone in accordance with the strategy of allocating investments that target buildings with the mostpressing needs and significant AMD. The investments aiming to reduce building AMD come mainlyfrom the Gouvernement du Québec, but also from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation andmunicipalities.



CONSEIL DU TRÉSOR ET ADMINISTRATION GOUVERNEMENTALE

INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

THE SOCIÉTÉ QUÉBÉCOISE DES INFRASTRUCTURES

VISION

To be the centre of expertise with regard to the management of Québec's public infrastructure, which will allow the SQI to offer innovative and sustainable solutions to all public bodies. To achieve this, the SQI aims to:

• plan a sustainable heritage and steer the evolution of public real estate assets through unwaveringfocus on sustainability, quality and the optimal use of resources;

• build excellence by putting the best teams of experts in infrastructure, project management and propertymanagement at the service of our clients;

• Maintain trust by achieving our mission with rigour, integrity and transparency while applying bestgovernance practices.

ORIENTATION

To successfully carry out its mission, which consists, in particular, in developing, maintaining and managing a building inventory that satisfies the needs of its clientele by supplying buildings and premises, and also by providing construction, operation and management services, the SQI has, from the standpoint of the infrastructure under its responsibility, adopted the following orientation:

• Promote the long-term durability of public infrastructure through adequate allocation of investments for

maintaining assets and designing spaces for its clientele.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The SQI is responsible for ensuring the durability of one of Québec's largest building inventories. It must,

therefore, maintain its properties in satisfactory condition to ensure their long-term physical and functional integrity. Moreover, it must meet the building needs of government departments and bodies by offering premises whose location, availability, quality and costs meet their expectations, and ensure optimum space occupation in order to reduce to a minimum the vacancy rate and rigorously manage the government's rent expense.

To this end, the SQI prioritizes its investments according to building requirements and government policy, bearing in mind the investment capacity that the government sets for it.

In a spirit of sustainable development, the SQI seeks to minimize energy consumption and ascertain climate change effects on its buildings in order to prevent deterioration related to climate change. Accordingly, the SQI considers both the safety of occupants and the continuity of the Government's essential missions.

Conseil du trésor et Administration gouvernementale

C.26

As for the condition of the buildings that it owns,1 the SQI is responsible for the regular inspection of

components, maintenance and repairs, and the day-to-day operations necessary to ensure services for

occupants, the safety of the premises and the durability of the buildings.


The SQI's wholly-owned building inventory comprises 369 buildings and civil engineering structures totalling more than 1.9 million m2 in rentable area. It includes office buildings used for government administration, courthouses, detention facilities, Sûreté du Québec police stations and other specialized buildings, in particular, transportation centres, conservatories of music and dramatic art, laboratories, warehouses, and underground parking lots and tunnels.

C.28


The SQI's strategy with regard to forecast investments aims to improve the general condition of the infrastructure inventory and to decrease the AMD. The SQI also aims to increase its rate of owned buildings

with a view to reducing the Government's long-term rental expenses.

Thus, the anticipated $84.6 million increase in forecast investments in 2020-2021 in relation to probable investments

in 2019-2020 will allow for additional investments to, on the one hand, maintain existing infrastructure and, on the

other hand, make acquisitions, carry out major refitting in courthouses and build new Sûreté du Québec police stations.


Planned investments to maintain the infrastructure seek to carry out the work required to ensure the long-term physical and functional integrity of the SQI's building inventory. Investments on infrastructure in poor condition and therefore at high risk of failing are prioritized when work is planned as they make it possible to reduce the recorded AMD.

Asset maintenance investments in respect of government buildings focus essentially on work related to compliance with codes, structures, building envelopes, escalators and elevators, and the integrity of a building's mechanical and electrical systems.

Most of the $64.0 million total infrastructure maintenance investments made in 2018-2019 and probable

investments of $127.7 million for 2019-2020 pertain to a large number of asset maintenance projects and

compulsory upgrading under $5.0 million.

Aside from such projects under $5.0 million, the SQI carried out the following projects:

• Rehabilitation of the masonry and replacement of heritage windows at the Ernest Cormier building inMontréal, which decreased the AMD by more than $10.0 million;

• Replacement of electrical components in the Wilfrid Derome building in Montréal;

• Reconstruction of the custody area in the La Tuque detention facility.

Forecast investments for 2020-2021 totalling $170.4 million will allow for the completion the following projects:

• Marie‑Guyart building, parking – Québec – Repair, which will decrease the AMD by $4.0 million;

• Reconstruction of the parking lot at 10 Rue Pierre-Olivier-Chauveau in Québec City, which will decrease

the AMD by $13.0 million;

• Replacement of high-voltage components at the Montréal Courthouse, which will decrease the AMDby $6.5 million;

• Replacement of road salt shelters that have reached the end of their useful life, including the shelter atGatineau;

• Replacement of the ventilation system at the detention facility in Québec City, which will decrease theAMD by $8.5 million.



Infrastructure enhancement

Infrastructure enhancement investments of $117.8 million in 2018-2019 and probable investments of $201.7 million

in 2019-2020 facilitated the support of the Government's real estate vision for which one objective is to increase

the proportion of owned real estate inventory compared to leased, primarily through the:

• Construction of an office building at 25, Rue de Martigny in Saint-Jérôme;

• Acquisition of an office building at 1000, Rue Fullum in Montréal;

• Acquisition of two office buildings at 1156 and 1400, Boulevard Guillaume-Couture in Lévis.

In addition, these investments made it possible to broaden or improve the service potential of certain existing infrastructure in terms of quality and functionality, such as:

• Construction of a detention facility in Amos;

• Rimouski courthouse – Repair and redevelopment;

• Refitting of the new Sûreté du Québec police station in Magog.

Forecast investments of $243.6 million for 2020-2021, will allow for the completion the following main projects:

• Refitting of sections of the Louis-Philippe-Pigeon building in Québec City;

• Development of offices at 930, Chemin Sainte-Foy in Québec City;

• Construction of a building to facilitate staff grouping in Chibougamau;

• Development and the addition of space at the Gatineau Courthouse;

• Expansion of the custody area at Puvirnituq;

• Development of the Centre de traitement informatique at the Cyrille-Duquet building in Québec City;

• Construction of a Sûreté du Québec police station in Saint-Georges;

• Improvements to the parking lot at the Saint-Jérôme detention facility.

1 Data as at November 27, 2019. 2 The inventory excludes emphyteutic leases, buildings under construction and rented buildings under capital leases, including the building located at

3800 Rue de Marly, Québec City. 3 Data pertaining to building dimension represent the leasable area, in compliance with the BOMA-96 standard. Non-rental buildings, parking facilities

and tunnels are measured according to gross area of the development.4 Average age represents the "effective" age of infrastructure assets. This means how old the infrastructure looks (observed condition), taking into

account such elements as chronological age, degree of work carried out and useful life.


During 2019-2020, the SQI pursued the objectives of its real estate vision by acquiring four office buildings

and a Sûreté du Québec police station in Val-D'Or. The SQI also disposed of four surplus buildings including

the former Sorel-Tracy detention facility and two specialized buildings in Rimouski and Dégelis which were

sold during the year. The office building at 85, rue de Martigny in Saint-Jérôme was demolished following the commissioning of a new construction.

Methodology

The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and average condition indicators are weighted according to the infrastructure replacement value.

Objectives

• Increase the ratio of rental buildings in good condition (ABC) by 10.0% by March 2023;

• Reduce by 25% the current AMD of $512.8 million by March 2025;

• Reduce the environmental impact of the SQI's real estate inventory by investing in measures that willfacilitate the optimization of energy consumption and reduce dependence on fossil energy in order tomeet the GHG emission reduction targets set by the Government.

Office buildings

• The category's average condition indicator remained stable at C. However, a $38.2-million increase inthe AMD was noted. This increase is mainly due to an increase to the costs assessed for certain worksfollowing new inspections carried out in 2019.

— Asset maintenance projects are scheduled for the buildings at 12, rue St-Louis, 1500, Rue Cyrille-Duquet,and 1075, Chemin Sainte-Foy, in Québec City; 360, Rue McGill, in Montreal. Ultimately, these projects will lower the category's AMD by roughly $42.0 million.

Other specialized buildings

• The category's average condition indicator remained stable at C. However, a $30.4 million increasein the AMD was noted. This increase is mainly due to substantial deficiencies noted during recent

inspections conducted in Ministère des Transports service centres at 5353, Boulevard Pierre-Bertrand

and 1665, Boulevard Hamel in Québec City:

— The $52.4-million cumulative AMD for this category is primarily due to the age of several abrasivewarehouses and should be lowered through upcoming targeted interventions aiming at the most obsolete warehouses.

Courthouses

• The category's average condition shifted from B to C. However, a significant increase of $54.5 millionin the AMD was noted. This increase is mainly due to the deterioration of the curtain wall of the Montréal

Courthouse, the facades of the Québec City Courthouse and architectural components of the Saint-Hyacinthe Courthouse:

— The completion of major projects that are currently in the planning stages involving these threecourthouses will lower the category's AMD by $125.0 million.


C.32

Detention facilities

• The category's average condition indicator remained stable at C, which included a slight improvement

in the proportion of infrastructure in a satisfactory or better condition (ABC). The $108.2 millioncumulative AMD for this category is primarily due to the deterioration of establishments in Québec City,Tanguay and Gatineau:

— Renovation projects including the mandatory upgrade or reconstruction of these buildings arecurrently under study so as to manage their AMD.

Sûreté du Québec police stations

• The category's average condition indicator remained stable at B. Investments made during the yearallowed for the reduction of this category's AMD by $5.4 million.

Non-rental and surplus buildings

• The category's average condition indicator remained stable at E. Although the surplus buildings havea very high level of deterioration, they are no longer assigned to their initial vocation and show no safetyrisks. Aside from minimal asset maintenance, the SQI does not anticipate any significant investment inthis category of buildings since they will be sold or demolished:

— In the last year, the demolition of the Athanase-David building and the disposal of the Sorel-Tracydetention facility lowered the AMD associated with these buildings by $67.0 million.

Parking facilities and tunnels

• The category's average condition indicator remained stable at E. However, a significant decreasein the proportion of these civil engineering structures in a satisfactory or better condition (ABC) and a

$41.9 million increase in the AMD were noted. This deterioration is mainly due to the higher costs forthe work required to renovate the d'Youville parking facility:

— The Government set aside a sum from the 2020-2030 QIP central envelope to follow up on theGovernment's decision with regard to this project.

More specifically, investments made in 2018-2019 and the 2019-2020 probable investments, totalling $30.2 and $17.1 million respectively, allowed for the advancement of the following projects:

• Acquisition of the Au-Pied-du-Courant building by SODEC and the Société de télédiffusion du Québec and the completion of rehabilitation work;

• Development of the MAC transformation project. In addition to continuing work on the above projects, the $18.2 million investment earmarked in 2020-2021 for infrastructure enhancement will make it possible to carry out the universal access project which will link the metro station and the corridor to the Place des Arts complex.

1 Data as at December 31, 2019. 2 This building category includes only heritage buildings belonging to SODEC. The evaluation method used for this building category has changed

since last year. See the "Methodology" section.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Investment strategy The MCC's overall infrastructure investment strategy is built primarily around three priorities:

• Ensure that the infrastructure of state-owned bodies and enterprises is in good condition and meet standards;

• Continually perform asset maintenance work to prevent the deterioration of buildings and equipment of state-owned bodies and enterprises so as to avoid major repairs;

• Maintain appropriate conditions for displaying and conserving assets and works of art. Objective By March 2025, increase to 65% the proportion of buildings belonging to state-owned bodies and enterprises in satisfactory or better condition (ABC). In March 2020, this proportion is 57%.


C.38

Inspection and data update All the buildings and specialized equipment were inspected. Lastly, in compliance with its mission, SODEC continues to implement its investment plan on an annual basis to protect and develop its heritage buildings. With a view to adopting good infrastructure management practices and aligning with government guidelines, a continuous inspection schedule over a 5 years period was established and an annual update is carried out mainly for the buildings' critical components. The objective of this update is to have an up-to-date picture of the condition of the buildings and specialized equipment, thereby contributing to informed decision making in their regard. Methodology The evaluation method used to determine government condition indicators for infrastructure, with the exception of SODEC heritage buildings, is based on the FCI2. In contrast, the method used for SODEC buildings is weighting based on five criteria, as specified in the Minister's portfolio management framework, by taking into account the specifics associated with these buildings. It should be noted that this method was re-assessed as part of the current AMPI to take into account the specific reality of these buildings that are now considered to be in very good (A) and good (B) condition which wasn’t the case before. This new picture is therefore much more representative of the reality of heritage infrastructure. The priority interventions supported by health reports are recorded as an AMD for buildings whose condition indicator rank above satisfactory (15%). This data is currently updated on a yearly basis and takes into consideration new investment needs, work carried out and the indexation of costs. Given that the inspections for the Saint-Sulpice library, the Société de télédiffusion du Québec's Sept-Îles building and the Maison Chevalier have not been updated in recent years, a theoretical degradation was considered for the evaluation of the work to be done. The data is subsequently indexed on an annual basis. The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) are weighted according to the replacement value.

Findings

1 The evaluation method used to determine the government condition indicator of this building category was re-assessed as part of the current AMPI so as to take into account all of the condition indicators (ABC / D / E).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changes in condition The condition indicators of certain building categories have declined on account of a significant number of new findings following the completion of new health reports on certain buildings over the past year. The condition indicators for broadcasting buildings has improved due to ongoing and balanced asset maintenance work and decreasing the AMD. Moreover, the increase in the proportion of heritage buildings in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) is due to the maintenance work performed, including the work to address AMD, but also to the revision of the evaluation method used to determine the government condition indicator for this building category, which gives a more representative picture of the reality. Changes in the AMD The $6.4-million increase in the AMD associated with the natural deterioration is mainly due to:

• The addition of estimated work found in health reports for museums, venues, broadcasting sites and heritage buildings belonging to SODEC;

• Indexing of the costs of previously identified asset maintenance work not carried out during the year. The $17.9-million increase in the AMD associated with the new findings is mainly due to:

• Additional work to be carried out for museums and venues identified when new health reports were prepared for certain buildings in these categories;

• The revision of the method used to assess the condition of heritage buildings resulted in a decrease of $0.9 million in this category.


C.40

The $24.8-million reduction of the AMD is due to:

• Repair work on various venues, including the exterior cladding of the Grand Théâtre de Québec and the esplanade and buildings of the Place des Arts de Montréal, which has allowed for a $16.4 million decrease;

• Repair work on the Au-Pied-du-Courant building, which accounted for a $4.5 million decrease for broadcasting buildings;

• Targeted investments in heritage buildings belonging to SODEC that have allowed for a $2.5 million decrease;

• Other smaller-scale work on museums and the replacement of equipment that has reached the end of its useful life that have allowed for a $1.4 million decrease.

ÉDUCATION ET ENSEIGNEMENT SUPÉRIEUR

INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION VISION The condition of school board infrastructure affects the quality of the service offered. It is, therefore, essential that Québec students have at their disposal stimulating and accessible learning environments that foster their educational success. Whether from the standpoint of safe infrastructure or environments that satisfy the needs of students and staff, interveners' efforts must focus on the attainment of a common objective that of offering quality teaching that meets the highest standards. ORIENTATION To fulfill its mission, which consists, in particular, in promoting education, the MEES has adopted the orientation indicated below with respect to the infrastructure under its responsibility:

• Maintain conditions conducive to educational success by ensuring the quantity, quality, safety and durability of infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES The MEES is responsible for:

Allocating funds to school boards to maintain assets, address the AMD, and add, rebuild and improve their infrastructure;

Ensuring that the funds allocated are used for the purposes stipulated;

Prioritizing the funding of investments in light of government guidelines. THE SCHOOL BOARDS3 RESPONSIBILITIES The school boards are responsible for:

Planning investments and carrying out work pursuant to the projects authorized, the funds allocated and the regulations in force;

Inspecting their infrastructure to establish an accurate picture of its condition and the work to be carried out to maintain it in good condition;

Managing, in collaboration with the MEES, the infrastructure that it owns or co-owns;

Ensuring that their infrastructure is functional and remains safe, efficient and reliable.3

3 Once the Act to amend mainly the Education Act with regard to school organization and governance (S.Q. 2020, chapter 1) receives royal assent,

school boards will be replaced by school service centres during the 2020 2021 financial year, with the exception of Cree and Kativik school boards.

Éducation et Enseignement supérieur

C.44

DESCRIPTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO School board infrastructure comprises 4,061 buildings occupying an area of 16.9 million m2.

It is divided among 69 linguistic school boards and three special-status school boards (du Littoral, Cree and

Kativik). It encompasses buildings in different categories, namely preschool, elementary and secondary education establishments; vocational training and general adult training centres; buildings devoted to administration and other uses; and surplus buildings.

1 A restatement is presented on an interim basis to reflect work done under projects scheduled prior to March 31, 2015.


Infrastructure maintenance Investments made in 2018-2019 and probable in 2019-2020, totalling $837.9 million and $663.9 million, respectively, enabled the completion or continuation of work aimed primarily at maintaining or restoring buildings to satisfactory or better condition. Here are a few examples of work carried out:

• The reconstruction of roofs and exterior cladding and the replacement of windows and floor coverings;

• Work to remedy problems related to mould and air quality in the schools;

• Work to adapt buildings for students with handicaps or students experiencing adjustment or learning difficulties;

• The replacement of institutional equipment;

• Functional renovations such as the conversion of offices or multipurpose rooms into classrooms;

• The rehabilitation or reconstruction of buildings damaged by disasters.

In addition, investments in school boards that have been announced for 2020-2021 will allow for the completion of projects such as:

• Renovation of the building envelope and replacement of interior lighting fixtures at the Centre éducatif

l'Abri in Port-Cartier;

• Replacement of windows and flat roof covering at the École Martel in Saint-Joseph-de-Sorel;

• Replacement of drinking-water distribution network and sewer pipes at the École C.-E.-Pouliot in Gaspé;

• Replacement of the floor at the École Sainte-Cécile in Montréal;

• Replacement of the HVAC at the École l'Étincelle in Québec City;

• Interior refitting of the École Sainte-Thérèse in Trois-Rivières.


C.46

More specifically, these investments should make it possible to replace critical components in schools, such as:

• 23.0%: Superstructure and envelope (e.g. floors, walls, covering);

• 30.0%: Interior refitting (e.g. partitions, stairs and interior finishes);

• 31.0%: Services (e.g. plumbing, heating, ventilation and electricity).

To accelerate work in the schools and maximize the short-term return, the process of confirming capital expenditure

budgets in the school boards has been moved ahead. In addition, since 2019-2020, the Department has been

making 3 years announcements. School boards can, therefore, more quickly implement renovation project planning (most renovations occur during the summer). Infrastructure enhancement

By 2023-2024, excluding the impact of the opening of kindergarten for 4 years old, the MEES forecasts a

shortfall of more than 600 primary school classrooms, mainly in the Montréal, Laurentides, Montérégie,

Laval and Lanaudière regions. Mainly in these same regions, the MEES also predicts that by 2028-2029 there will be a shortfall of over 25,000 student spaces in secondary schools. In response to these growing needs in education, the government is planning to invest over $5.6 billion in the 2020-2030 QIP, which will in particular make it possible to:

• Continue the planning and completion of close to 250 additional space projects that have been authorized in recent years;

• Announce many new projects to build or expand schools, enabling additional primary school classrooms and additional secondary student spaces to be added, benefiting thousands of students by 2023-2024;

• Build the premises necessary for the opening of 1,956 new kindergarten classes for 4 years old by the end of the 2023-2024 school year.

More specifically, investments of $252.3 million will enable the completion or continuation in 2020-2021 of certain projects such as:

• École Saint-Modeste – Saint-Modeste – Expansion;

• Primary school – Montréal – Construction (2 preschool classrooms and 12 primary classrooms);

• Secondary school – Québec City – Construction (study of a major project to build a 1,200 student-space secondary school);

• Centre de formation des métiers de l’acier – Montréal – Expansion;

• Primary school – Chisasibi – Construction;

• Tukisiniarvik School (school board of Kativik) – Akulivik – Expansion.

Data as at January 2020. 2 The “Administrative and other uses” category includes, in addition to school board administrative offices, structures such as residences, workshops,

warehouses and garages. 3 The “Surplus buildings” category includes buildings that are no longer used by school boards.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Variation in inventory In comparison with the preceding period, net inventory increased by 25 buildings for a new total of 4,061. A number of factors explain this variation: construction, purchase, demolition or sale of buildings, change of building vocation (category) by the school boards or by the MEES. In the latter case, the MEES modifies the vocation of the building if its predominant student clientele has changed from one year to another. Inspection and data update The MEES is continuing its efforts to improve its inspection processes and tools for managing school buildings' asset maintenance. To this end, a standardized, recurring inspection process is being introduced that will, in the long run, provide a complete, continuous picture of the condition of all buildings in the network. The MEES has contracted with a firm that has prepared, among other things, a methodological inspection guide for school boards, and initiated a process for validating the work already inventoried. The support provided by the firm also includes a training and support component that reflects the desire of the MEES to standardize inspections in all school boards. The firm began its work in the spring of 2019. Since that time, 19 school boards have received training on

conducting their inspections using the new methodology, and the remaining school boards will take the

training by June 2021. As of the standardized inspection guide, it has been completed and distributed in

the fall of 2019.

By summer 2020, the MEES will also make available to school boards a new mobile tool for supervising and

indexing building inspections. This new tool will follow the standardized methodology and will include a


C.48

decision tree to give school boards better support for making decisions to classify the condition of components.

This tool will also ensure better control of the quality of data entered by school boards.

In addition, the MEES has adopted a new infrastructure management tool that will support it in the strategic planning of its infrastructure projects. Deployment of this new tool will take place in May 2020. Methodology The school boards use a software package to inventory the work, as they perform building inspections that they must carry out within the next 5 years. The condition and AMD are based on the list of work recorded in the software package according to the inspection procedures set out in the Cadre de gestion des infrastructures scolaires. The procedures seeks to obtain a coherent and continuous assessment of the condition of buildings that is harmonized throughout the school boards. The government condition indicator and the AMD are assessed based on a FCI4. Any building with a FCI above 15.0% is considered to be in poor condition and the estimate of its AMD is the product of the 15.0% excess and the building's replacement value. The government condition indicator and the AMD do not take into account specific features of heritage buildings, which may cause a rise in costs resulting from the materials required and the complex nature of the work to be carried out. An inventory of these buildings and a specific assessment of their condition and their AMD will be carried out by 2022. The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and the average condition indicator are weighted according to the replacement value of the buildings. Objective MEES investments will make it possible to attain the following objective:

• Increase the proportion of infrastructures in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) to 50.0% for all school

buildings under its responsibility by 2022-2023.

Findings

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changes in condition With the exception of surplus buildings, the proportion of infrastructure in satisfactory or better condition has remained relatively stable this year. However, a substantial increase in the AMD has been observed for preschool and primary schools, secondary schools and surplus buildings. This year again, it should be noted that a significant proportion of this finding comes from the increase in general awareness of the investments needed at preschools, primary schools and secondary schools, which is supported by the new inspection process. Changes in the AMD The $1.6 billion increase in the AMD is attributable to:

• The addition of work to be carried out in the order of $1.1 billion related to the natural deterioration of critical components of certain school buildings such as foundations, floors, walls, roofs, plumbing and heating, ventilation and electrical systems;

• The improvement of the inspection process, which has revealed the necessity for $0.5 billion of new asset maintenance work in the schools concerned.

The $0.7 billion reduction is attributable, in particular, to:

• The replacement of components that are outdated or at the end of their useful life, including:

— 4.0%: Infrastructure (e.g. foundations);

— 22,0 %: Superstructure and envelope (e.g. floors, exterior claddings and roofs);

— 30.0%: Interior refitting (e.g. partitions, stairs and interior finishes);

— 31.0%: Services (e.g. plumbing, heating, ventilation and electricity);

— 13.0%: Other work.


C.50

• Work aimed at eliminating problems that could affect air quality in certain buildings. Despite the scope of the annual investments carried out, the MEES anticipates that the AMD will increase for several years to come because of:

• The implementation of the new building inspection process in the school network that will enhance the knowledge of the condition of building inventory and the AMD;

• Broader knowledge of heritage building inventory which generally means higher costs related to the cost of materials and the complex nature of the work to be performed.

On the other hand, the optimization of the annual asset maintenance budget allocation process in the school boards, and the fact that the process is based on a 3 years allocation, will support better planning of contracts and maximize the amount of work to be performed in the summer. Furthermore, to address the anticipated increase in the AMD, the government must pursue its efforts to target allocations in priority sectors and adopt measures to ensure the capacity to carry out the work accordingly.

1 Because the condition indicators of 237 buildings are unknown, the number of buildings rated A, B, C, D and E does not equal 4,061. 2 The average condition indicator is obtained by dividing the sum of the work identified by the replacement value of all buildings of the school board

and converting this result into a GCI.


INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT HIGHER EDUCATION

VISION

The quality of higher education infrastructure affects the impact of the service offered in Québec. It is, therefore, essential that students have at their disposal stimulating learning environments that are tailored

to the labour market. Whether from the standpoint of safe infrastructure, cutting-edge laboratories or environments that satisfy the needs of students and staff, interveners' efforts must focus on the attainment of a common objective that of offering quality teaching that meets the highest standards.

ORIENTATION

To fulfill its mission, which consists, in particular, in promoting higher education, the MEES has adopted the orientation below with respect to the infrastructure for which it is responsible:

• Maintain conditions conducive to higher education by ensuring the quantity, quality, safety and durability of infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES The MEES is responsible for:

• Allocating funds to colleges and universities to maintain assets, address the AMD, and add, rebuild and improve their infrastructure;

• Ensuring that the funds allocated to establishments are used for the purposes stipulated;

• Auditing the capital expenditure budgets of the college and university establishments to ensure that allocations granted for spaces recognized for funding purposes are used solely for such spaces.


C.54

CEGEPS AND UNIVERSITIES RESPONSIBILITIES

The MEES funding formula distinguishes between spaces that are recognized and not recognized for funding purposes. The distinction between the two types of space relates to their mission and the standards that the MEES applies. The MEES grants allocations for asset maintenance, addressing the AMD, and adding, rebuilding and improving buildings for designated spaces. Colleges and universities are responsible, regarding such spaces, for managing their infrastructure and planning work to be carried out, in accordance with the rules issued by the MEES. The establishments must submit the projects that they plan to carry out based on an annual capital expenditure budget and obtain confirmation from the MEES of the budgets' compliance. For each project, the establishments must provide a brief or detailed description, depending on the scope of the project, and provide funding details and building identification. The establishments must also submit to the MEES information on the condition of such buildings The MEES does not report in the AMPI on spaces not recognized for funding purposes given that it does not pay any allowances in respect of such spaces. The establishments must rely on their own revenues to satisfy investment needs related to these spaces. Each establishment is thus responsible for ensuring the quality, safety and durability of such spaces. DESCRIPTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO The college network infrastructure inventory encompasses 975 buildings, representing a surface area of around 2.7 million sq. m., of which approximately 2.5 million sq. m. in 886 buildings is recognized by the MEES for funding purposes. This inventory is spread among 48 CEGEPs. The university network infrastructure inventory encompasses 1,048 buildings, representing a surface area of around 4.8 million sq. m., of which approximately 3.6 million sq. m. in 762 buildings is recognized by the MEES for funding purposes. This inventory is spread among 19 universities. The college and university networks also have an inventory of equipment, made up particularly of research

apparatus such as CT scanners, 3D printers, electronic microscopes, spectroscopes and quantum calculators.

In addition, some training programs require non-standard equipment, such as aircraft or road vehicles like

buses for transporting students to training sites.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Variation in inventory In comparison with the preceding period, the inventory was reduced by six spaces recognized for funding purposes, for a new total of 886. This variation is due to:

• Construction of a building;

• The addition of two spaces which will now be used for teaching due to the lack of space of the institutions;

• The sale of two buildings;

• Demolition of four buildings by institutions;

• The removal of three buildings which are no longer used for teaching. Inspection and data update The initial inspection of spaces recognized for funding purposes in the college network occurred between 2010 and 2012. Each component of a building was evaluated during these inspections. This inspection was accompanied by a renewal forecast and a list of necessary asset maintenance work to maintain and restore to a satisfactory level the condition of the buildings. An annual update of this list was produced for 100 % of the surface area of the building inventory in the network to reflect changes in asset maintenance needs and to support the work to be carried out in the short term. The condition of the buildings of the college network inventory is thus representative of the current situation. However, a new inspection cycle of spaces recognized for funding purposes in the college network will

begin in 2020-2021. To this end, the college network filed its invitation to tender in the fall of 2019 and the

new inspection cycle is expected to be completed in 2022. In addition, the MEES does not always possess sufficient information on the inventory of equipment in the college network, but plans to present an initial

assessment in the 2021-2022 AMPI. Methodology The colleges use a software package to record the work that they must carry out within the next 5 years on their buildings following the inspections that were conducted by a specialized firm. The evaluation of the condition and the AMD of all buildings are based on this list of work recorded in the software package according to the inspection parameters set out in the Cadre de gestion pour les investissements liés aux


infrastructures des réseaux d’enseignement collegial et universitaire, which seeks to obtain a coherent and continuous assessment of the condition of buildings that is harmonized throughout the college network. The government condition indicator and the AMD are assessed based on a FCI5. Any building with a FCI above 15.0% is considered to be in poor condition and the estimate of its AMD is the product of the 15.0% excess and the building's replacement value. The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and the average condition indicator are weighted according to the replacement value of the buildings. Objective MEES investments for maintaining the college building inventory will make it possible to attain the following objective:

• Increase the proportion of spaces designated for funding in the college network that are in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) to 80.0% by 2025.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changes in condition Overall, the condition of college buildings deteriorated slightly this year. This situation is due to a level of investment in asset management that was not quite sufficient to offset the natural deterioration of certain

components in older buildings. The new inspection cycle, set to begin in 2020-2021, will provide a more accurate assessment of the general condition of the college network infrastructure inventory. Changes in the AMD

The $58.6-million increase is attributable to the natural deterioration of all spaces designated for funding combined with new work to carry out in the institutions. This work includes new needs for renovation or reconstruction of standard ground slabs, foundation walls, exterior cladding, roofs, wall cladding, filtration systems and electrical distribution systems.

The $29.9 million increase corresponding to new findings is due to a 5.0% upward revision of project costs

to include the whole overhead costs of the works.

The $18.8 million reduction is due to the reconstruction of foundations, roofs and an exterior cladding. Other

factors include the replacement of windows, sanitary equipment, a corrosion-resistant extractor fan system and electrical systems, plus interior finishing work.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Variation in inventory In comparison with the preceding period, the inventory was increased by six spaces recognized for funding purposes, for a new total of 762. This variation is due to:

• The acquisition of two buildings by institutions;

• The change in vocation of 14 spaces, which will now be used for teaching due to the lack of space of the institutions.

Inspection and data update The first inspections of buildings recognized for funding purposes in the university network began in 2014 and ended in the spring of 2016. The second cycle of inspections in the university network began in 2019. To date, 20.0% of the new inspections have been completed, and the cycle is due to end in 2023. The MEES possesses partial information on the inventory of equipment in the university network, but the

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changes in condition Overall, the condition of university network infrastructure deteriorated slightly this year. This situation is partly due to new inspections that were carried out over the course of the past year. The MEES is anticipating an increase in the AMD as the new cycle of inspection of university building inventory progresses. Changes in the AMD

The $140.3 million increase is attributable to the natural deterioration of the spaces recognized for funding purposes overall.

The $60.9 million increase corresponding to new findings is due to the identification, during new inspections of facades and ventilation systems, of new work to be carried out.

The $56.0 million reduction is mainly due to the bringing of certain buildings up to health and safety standards,

and to the replacement of obsolete heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

ORIENTATIONS The MELCC mission is to contribute to Québec’s sustainable development by playing a key role in combating climate change, protecting the environment and conserving biodiversity, for the public's benefit. The operation, management and oversight of the public dam inventory fall under the Department's purview. The Department must perform its role in ensuring the safety and functionality of these infrastructures.

More specifically, it must:

• Manage dams safely;

• Inspect and monitor dams to ensure they operate safely and efficiently;

• Perform the required maintenance work in keeping with the legislation in force;

• Assess the safety of public dams and coordinate emergency interventions;

• Remove dams not essential to the Government's mission when necessary for safety and environmental reasons.

RESPONSIBILITIES Dam management is subject to legal obligations that vary with the type of dam (high-capacity, low-capacity, small). In addition to its legal obligations, MELCC takes into account the risks associated with dams, along with the budget and human resources that it has been allocated for their management, and prioritizes interventions.

Environnement et Lutte contre les changements climatiques

C.68


MELCC operates and administers 753 dams within the meaning of the Dam Safety Act (chapter S3.1.01), including 320 high-capacity, 202 low-capacity and 231 small dams. The Dam Safety Act precisely defines the "high capacity" and "low capacity" dam categories. All dams that come under the Dam Safety Act and are more than 1 metre in height but not considered "high capacity" or "low capacity” are referred to as "small dams." The high-capacity dams are subdivided into two large categories: 48 mechanized dams and 272 non-mechanized dams. The mechanized dams are equipped with mechanical and electrical discharge equipment that allows for the management of water levels and water flow. Non-mechanized dams are equipped with a spillway that requires no management. The complex components of mechanized dams and the need to ensure that they are always reliable and functional requires large investments in comparison with the other dam types. The following infrastructure also falls under MELCC's jurisdiction:

• Eight main buildings containing office spaces and seven auxiliary buildings (two warehouses, one workshop, three hangars and a garage) acting as regional points of service to provide for the operation and maintenance of nearby dams. The buildings are located in seven administration regions: Capitale-Nationale, Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Laurentides, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Estrie and Montérégie;

• A discharge pipe carrying effluent from the Resolute Forest Products market pulp plant in Saint-Félicien. This pipe, built by MELCC in 1976, diverts treated water from the factory to the Rivière Mistassini located approximately 15 km from the factory. The pipe had an initial useful life of 25 years, but has been in use for 43 years;

• Eighteen dams not subject to the Dam Safety Act. Although not subject to the Dam Safety Act, these dams, including a flood protection dike at Pointe-Calumet, are part of the infrastructure inventory under MELCC jurisdiction, and must therefore be included in its AMPI.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Investments made and planned The investments for infrastructure maintenance are intended to perform the work required to ensure dam integrity, to protect people and property from the risks associated with the presence of these works. In planning investments, work on dams that are in poor condition are prioritized based on the risk assessment. This work helps maintain and restore dams based on findings noted during inspections. Government investments in maintaining public dams enable the following types of work, among others:

• Repair of heavy mechanical components, such as gates, winches, gantries, generating sets or embedded parts;

• Repair of concrete components or correction of concrete pathologies;

• Repair of riprap spillways through reshaping, the addition of riprap or the filling of gaps;

• Repair of dikes through reshaping, heightening, sealing, stabilization or the addition of drainage;

• Repair of electrical and control components such as electrical panels, heating systems, automated systems or communication systems;

• Renovation of service buildings, garages or equipment shelters. The $24.2 million investment made towards asset maintenance and reducing the asset maintenance deficit in 2018-2019, and probable investment of $8.6 million for 2019-2020, facilitated the completion of the following projects:

• Quinze dam – Angliers – Renovation (completion of upgrades to the Quinze dam and settlement of compensation claims for delays in the work);

• Repair of the Beaudet dam gates (Centre-du-Québec);

• Repairs to the gates, to electrical system and civil engineering work on the Grand-Moulin dam (Laval);

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Variation in inventory The inventory has increased slightly from the previous period, given:

• The addition of 7 buildings (warehouses, garages and workshop) associated with the 8 service centres previously inventoried;

• The addition of 18 dams under 1 metre, including the Pointe-Calumet dike, which are not subject to the Dam Safety Act but are under MELCC jurisdiction.

A better knowledge of all of the works has led to a more accurate statement of their condition, particularly subsequent to the inspections of the structures in 2019 and ongoing inspections of low-capacity dams, small dams, and dams under 1 meter. A few dams changed categories following the analysis. Inspection and data update An inspection program for high-capacity dams was developed based on the risk posed by the dam (very low, low, moderate, and high dam failure consequences). This program applies equally to dams with a condition indicator of A, B or C (up to standard), D (to be renovated) or E (to be dismantled or removed). Investment needs pertaining to dams in poor condition (D) and whose level of consequence is “moderate” or “high” are prioritized during works planning.


C.72

Thus, all high-capacity dams under the responsibility of MELCC are inspected at least once a year in compliance with Dam Safety Regulation requirements. Among other things, these inspections verify dam safety. More specific inspections of the mechanical and electrical components of several mechanized dams were performed in the last year. Among other things, the initial work involved documenting the condition of electrical equipment to enable better planning and prioritization of interventions. This equipment is targeted as a critical component in the operation of mechanized dams. While no obligation under the Dam Safety Act requires it, given its low impact on the safety of people and property, in 2018-2019, MELCC began implementation of a visual inspection plan for low-capacity and small dams, and dams under 1 metre; the plan spans 4 years. The inspections are intended to validate the general condition of these works and confirm their category. An assessment of the pertinence of performing work will be completed at a later date, depending on the risk associated with the structure. After the first 2 years of the program, 69% of 450 dams have been inspected. The program will continue into 2021-2022. An inspection program was conducted in 2019-2020 for service centre buildings and their associated buildings (warehouses, garages and workshop). The inspections determined the condition of the buildings, and spot priority asset maintenance work to be done on buildings that were deemed to be in poor condition. The Saint-Félicien effluent discharge pipe underwent a partial inspection in 2018-2019 to detect potential sources of capacity loss. At this time, the inspection results do not make it possible to assess the overall condition of the infrastructure. However, MELCC conducts regular monitoring to control the risks associated with using the pipe. Methodology The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and average condition indicator are weighted according to the replacement value. The condition indicators and the AMD are not extrapolated for low-capacity and small dams.

Objectives By March 31, 2023, the MELCC investments provided for in the 2020-2030 QIP for dams under its jurisdiction will make it possible to achieve the following objectives:

• For high-capacity mechanized dams, a 10% increase in the current proportion (47%) of dams in satisfactory or better condition (ABC), for a target of 57%;

• For high-capacity non-mechanized dams, a 3% increase in the current proportion (92%) of dams in satisfactory or better condition (ABC), for a target of 95%.


Intervention strategy The overall dam intervention strategy is based on an integrated asset management approach that relies on better knowledge of the infrastructure, prioritization of actions based on risk management, and close monitoring of project progress, fostering a better completion rate for capital projects. Knowledge of the infrastructure is based on an inspection system that enables continuous monitoring of dam conditions in order to detect defects in time and monitor their evolution. Subsequently, safety evaluation studies make it possible, by conducting hydraulic, geotechnical, structural, mechanical and electrical studies, to establish the remedial work required to ensure dam safety. Interventions are prioritized based on the impacts of deficiencies on the safety of people and property, and on the technical characteristics of various dam categories, in the following order:

• Repair dams whose consequences in the event of a failure are medium or higher;

• Maintain the condition of mechanized high-capacity dams. These dams are generally prioritized in planning asset maintenance work because the consequences of a failure or break would generally be more serious than for other categories of dams. The natural deterioration of the discharge equipment on all these dams means interventions must be planned to ensure proper operation, particularly under flood conditions;

• Maintain the condition of non-mechanized high-capacity dams whose consequence in the event of a failure are moderate or higher. These dams are prioritized over dams with low or very low consequences. Non-mechanized dams usually require less investment in terms of human and financial resources over their useful life. In light of this, MELCC prioritizes essential repair work until conditions require complete reconstruction;

• Repair or maintain the condition of other infrastructure to ensure functionality. Continuous project monitoring and control over each phase in execution provides for better control of the investment process. The project management procedure includes producing project sheets, control points, and progress tracking by the monitoring committee. The goal is to quickly spot issues that could affect project execution so as to introduce corrective action. A dashboard provides a continuous picture of the situation. Other elements Some events (climatic or other) may make it necessary to take emergency action regarding a dam. Unscheduled work may be added to the plan and, as the case may be, have an impact on the completion rate.

1 2019-2020 AMD adjustment: Reclassification of the Croix dam from the non-mechanized to mechanized category, with its $0.3 million AMD. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changes in condition The proportion of mechanized dams in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) increased 22% from the previous period, taking the average condition indicator from D to C. This is due, on one hand, to the reassessment of the condition of certain dams following in-depth investigations of the defects noted during preliminary inspections and, on the other hand, the completion of work to restore the condition of certain dams whose condition indicator is now satisfactory or better (ABC). The 19% decrease in the proportion of low-capacity and small dams in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) is due to the many findings identified during inspections conducted in the last year, which primarily result from the natural deterioration seen in dams in good condition. Despite this finding, the average condition indicator remained stable for the overall category. MELCC carried out an initial evaluation of the condition of dams not subject to the Dam Safety Act, and auxiliary buildings at service centres that were not previously inspected. The proportion of the infrastructure that is in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) is 43% and 60% respectively. Changes in AMD Overall, the AMD decreased by $8.3 million from the previous period. This decrease is due to:

• The identification of $4.7 million in investment needs, primarily due to the natural deterioration of certain high-capacity dams noted during inspections conducted during the period;

• The addition of $1.4 million for new findings following inspections, and a $9.8 million decrease in the scope of work to be done on certain dams that resulted from identifying needs following in-depth investigations conducted during the period;

• The completion of asset maintenance work on dams in poor condition, primarily mechanized dams, which absorbed $4.6 million of the AMD.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Infrastructure maintenance

Asset maintenance investments allow for necessary work to be performed to maintain the physical condition of HSSN buildings or to restore those that are in poor condition (reduction of the AMD). These investments are necessary and must be made throughout a building's life span in order to maintain its service potential, ensure public health and safety, and curb the building's physical deterioration. Such work focuses, in particular, on the building structure or enclosure, the mechanical and electrical systems as well as compliance with mandatory codes and standards. Here below a few examples of infrastructure projects completed:

• Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine − Montréal − Repair of facades, replacement of windows and roof;

• Institut national de psychiatrie légale Philippe-Pinel – Montréal – Repair of emergency exit staircases, of boiler room and heating system equipment and replacement of underground outdoor tanks;

• Hôpital de la Baie – Complete replacement of cladding and insulation of exterior walls;

• Hôpital de Maria – Repair of the building’s exterior envelope with masonry and of certain roofs;

• Hôpital and CHSLD in mental health of Mauricie – Repair of the architectural envelope including balconies and staircases;

• Hôpital du Saint-Sacrement – Québec – Replacement of generators and reversers of F-R wing.

In addition, investments are being made to replace medical devices, furniture and other non-medical equipment across the HSSN and to rebuild obsolete buildings. Investments made in 2018-2019 to maintain the infrastructure totalled $352.9 million ($797.4 million including the adjustment) and the 2019-2020 probable investments should reach $795.2 million. The MSSS anticipates investments of $889.0 million in 2020-2021.


C.78

Investments to enhance the infrastructure carried out in 2018-2019 ($587.1 million) allowed for the completion or the continuation of the following major projects:

• Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine, specialized and research units – Montréal – Expansion and redevelopment;

• Hôpital du Haut-Richelieu, emergency room and operating room – Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu – Expansion and redevelopment;

1 Data as at December 19, 2019 for real estate inventory and September 30, 2019 for medical equipment. 2 Other buildings include staff and doctors' quarters, research centres, administrative spaces, warehouses, laundries and boiler rooms.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Variation in inventory The HSSN has a total of 2,706 buildings. This number has not changed from the previous period. The total number of medical devices across the HSSN valued at more than $100,000, or considered as strategic regardless of their cost, is listed at 14,324 units. The inventory increased over the previous period by 2,501 units. This increase can be partly explained by the new method for counting devices in the "Monitoring" category, which are now grouped by equipment inventory rather than institution. It is also due to the acquisition of endoscopic and perfusion equipment in the "Care" and "Other" categories.


C.80

Inspection and data update External firms inspected all of the HSSN’s buildings between 2015 and 2018, except for immovables surplus to requirements,9 whose physical condition was evaluated by officials from the institutions. The next HSSN building inspection cycle is scheduled to begin in 2021. Between two inspection cycles, HSSN institutions update the information as part of the annual update of their 3 years fixed asset and equipment action plans in the MSSS asset maintenance management system (Actifs + Réseau). HSSN institutions systematically monitor the condition of devices through preventive maintenance programs and the planning of replacement needs within the scope of the Department's continuous medical device replacement program. Methodology The GCI and the AMD only estimate the state of repair of a building and do not take into consideration the functional obsolescence of buildings, that is, an outmoded development concept, inadequate configuration or non-optimal space layout, excluding the mandatory upgrades which are considered in the GCI and AMD. Thus, the evaluation of the condition of a building doesn’t account for its functional obsolescence. The condition of a device is determined according to its actual age in relation to its pre-established standardized useful life. Medical devices are usually replaced at the end of their useful life. The AMD of medical devices equals to the investment needs in order to provide for the replacement of medical devices whose age exceeds the pre-established standardized service life. The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) are established according to the surface area of the buildings and the replacement value of the medical devices. The average condition indicator of buildings is weighted according to their surface area and, in the case of medical devices, according to their replacement value. For additional information, Appendix 2 indicates the condition indicator of buildings according to their age group. Objectives Over the next year, during the annual update of the institutions' three-year action plans, the MSSS and HSSN institutions will target investments allowing for a reduction in the AMD of buildings. The MSSS has set the following objective in that regard:

• By March 31, 2023, reduce the current cumulative AMD of $822.7 million on buildings by 33%, a reduction target of $271.5 million.

As for the replacement of medical devices exceeding the pre-established standardized service life, the MSSS has set the following objective:

• Decrease the cumulative AMD of medical devices from $617.9 million to $465.0 million by the next 2023-2024 AMPI.

Findings

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Buildings Changes in condition The variations from C to B of the average condition indicators in the "Rehabilitation Centres" and "Other" categories are mainly attributable to the renovation of the facades, roofs and mechanical systems of some buildings. For the other building categories, the average condition indicator remained stable. Changes in the AMD The net decrease in buildings' AMD for the period is $4.0 million. The overall increase of $40.7 million in the AMD is primarily due to the addition of close to $20.0 million for the replacement of roofs, the repair of facades and the upgrade of emergency power systems of certain hospital centres.


C.82

Through the completion of priority asset maintenance work by HSSN institutions, the AMD was decreased by $44.7 million, improving the condition of certain buildings, mainly in the "Hospital Centres" and "Other" categories. Medical devices Changes in condition The average condition indicator of all medical device categories remained stable. Implementation of the equipment replacement program has made it possible to replace devices in HSSN institutions, therefore contributing to maintain the medical device inventory's overall good condition. Changes in the AMD The net increase in the AMD of medical devices for the period is $45.6 million. The AMD for the replacement of medical devices rose by $155.6 million during the period because of the increase in the number of devices in the HSSN whose actual age exceeds the pre-established standardized service life. On the other hand, the replacement of devices in HSSN institutions has helped to cut $110.0 million in expenditures. Despite the increase in the AMD of medical devices for the period, the MSSS still anticipates an important reduction in this AMD over the next few years. In order to do so, the MSSS will continue its efforts aimed at accelerating the replacement and installation of medical equipment.

1 Data as at December 2019. 2 Average age represents the "effective" age of infrastructure assets. This means how old the infrastructure looks (observed condition), taking into

account such elements as chronological age, degree of work carried out and useful life.



Annual follow-ups and continual updates on the work to be carried out across the entire site will be

performed in order to maintain an accurate picture of the Olympic Park's current status.

Methodology

Based on the expertise obtained, the Olympic Stadium roof has reached the end of its useful life and cannot

be repaired. Consequently, it must be replaced and for that reason, the AMD does not need to be assessed.

The project to replace the Olympic Stadium roof is included in the "in the planning stage" category of the

2020-2030 QIP. In the meantime, to guarantee the absolute safety of all stakeholders who occupy the

space, the RIO has implemented a management protocol for occupying the main enclosure. This protocol

is reviewed annually and approved by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec.

The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and average condition indicator are weighted according

to size.

Objectives

By March 31, 2026, the forecast investments of the RIO should allow to reach the following targets of proportion of infrastructure with a government condition indicator of satisfactory or better (ABC) in the following categories:

• Olympic Stadium and Other Buildings: 70%;

• Roof : 100%;

• Esplanade and Outdoor spaces around the Stadium: 50%;

• Parking Lots: 95 %.

Findings



The natural degradation and identification of new work to carry out resulted in a 6% decrease in the

proportion of buildings in the "Olympic Stadium and Other Buildings" category evaluated at a condition of

satisfactory or better (ABC).

Furthermore, the proportion of parking lots evaluated at a condition of satisfactory or better increased by

17%, due to repairs carried out during the year. The remaining proportion of parking lots in poor condition

is located in Sections P2 and P3; one portion of these sections will be repaired in 2020 and the other portion

is scheduled for repair in 2022-2023.

Changes in AMD

The $57.5-million AMD increase is due to:

• In-depth studies conducted during the year which increased by $12.8 million certain estimates regarding the work to be carried out, most specifically in terms of upgrading to standards and repairing certain structural elements of the Olympic Stadium;

• New findings amounting to $44.7 million, mainly relating to the need to replace the funicular and repair the building envelope of the administrative offices near the Pie-IX metro station.

The AMD decrease for the Olympic Stadium and Other Buildings amounted to $25.6 million and is primarily

due to the work performed on the fire alarm system and other structural elements of the Olympic Stadium.

In addition, the parking lot repair project also contributed to the reduction of $3.2 million of AMD.

TRANSPORTS


THE MINISTÈRE DES TRANSPORTS

VISION

The MTQ is a major player in the organization of transportation in Québec. It seeks to offer Quebecers and

businesses efficient, accessible transportation systems and is committed to ensuring competent, rigorous,

innovative and transparent management of the infrastructure for which it is directly responsible. Among

other things, the MTQ is responsible for managing the highway system10, essential for trade and for linking

Québec's regions.

ORIENTATIONS

The mission of the MTQ is to ensure the sustainable mobility of people and goods throughout the territory

using safe, efficient transportation systems that contribute to Québec's development. A key area of focus

is maintaining the road infrastructure (specifically, roads and structures) in good condition, to which a very

large part of its budget is allocated.

In keeping with its mission, the MTQ must ensure the completion of major projects to maintain assets, build

new infrastructure, and replace infrastructure that is aging and in poor condition. In conjunction with these

works, the MTQ oversees the adaptation and development of the road network to meet the needs of citizens

and ensure Québec's economic development. For the 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, the MTQ adopted the

following orientations:

• Invest in the maintenance of transportation system infrastructure;

• Ensure an efficient and safe transportation system that has a smaller carbon footprint and supports a strong economy.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The MTQ is responsible for carrying out all construction, repair and maintenance work required for the

infrastructure under its jurisdiction. The acquisitions and disposal of immovables are also governed by legislation

and regulations that define the Department's initiatives. The Minister of Transport is also responsible for the

Société des traversiers du Québec.

The Act respecting the Ministère des Transports and the Act respecting roads stipulate the powers and

obligations of the Minister, and more specifically those concerning management of the road network under

his responsibility. In this respect, the legislation specifies that the Minister of Transport can carry out on the

network all acts and exercise all of the rights of an owner, although it stipulates that the local municipalities

own roads that the Government builds or rebuilds, except for highways, which the Government owns, or

those declared by government decree to be highways.

10 Highway system: network comprising highways, and national, regional, collector and resource roads.

Transports

C.94

Furthermore, the MTQ administers financial assistance programs to meet the priority needs of public transit

corporations. It must ensure that the requests of transit corporations comply with the rules established, and

oversees spending from the standpoint of government investments.

The financial assistance programs seek primarily to support transportation authorities to carry out the capital

projects necessary to organize and operate services. These programs are intended to foster the maintenance,

enhancement and development of mass transit equipment and infrastructure.

Public transit corporations benefit, in particular, from the subsidy programs indicated below:

• PAGTCP – volet immobilisation: the program seeks specifically to maintain in good condition existing assets, improve the quality of the services offered to the clientele, and develop new services.

• Programme d’aide aux immobilisations en transport en commun of the SOFIL: this program, which came into effect on January 1, 2006, targets capital projects in the realm of mass transit. Funding sources include a portion of the revenue from the federal excise tax on gasoline, revenue from registrations of automobiles with high-displacement engines, and revenue from the Land Transportation Network Fund.

• PAFFITC: this program stems from the Canada-Québec Agreement on the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, concluded on June 29, 2016. The program seeks to support investments to restore and improve existing mass transit networks and those targeting the elaboration of studies to support longer-term network expansion projects.

• PAGITC: this program stems from the signing of the IBA with the Government of Canada and is designed to support new mass transit infrastructure construction, expansion, improvement and restoration projects, and active transportation projects.



The MTQ manages the major road network totalling 31,023 kilometres and 5,454 structures, such as

overpasses, bridges over watercourses, tunnels and retaining walls. Since 2007, the MTQ has also been

responsible for 4,265 bridges located in the municipal network whose management was ceded back to the

municipalities in 1993.

The MTQ's assets also include a portfolio of culverts under 3 meters in diameter. Nearly 61,814 culverts

are found on the major road network managed by the MTQ, including nearly 13,000 in the RSSCE.

The following infrastructure also falls under MTQ jurisdiction:

• Buildings : wayside park network (roadside rest areas and service areas) and airport terminal buildings;

• Civil engineering works: overhead and roadside signage structures;

• Electrotechnical equipment (lighting systems and light signals);

• Air, rail and marine transportation infrastructure: airports, heliports, the Gaspésie and Québec Central railways, ferry terminals and wharves.

The air, marine and rail transport sectors are regulated. Inspections of these infrastructures are planned and documented to ensure compliance with the safety standards in effect. However, these inspections in the current form do not, for the time being, allow evaluation of the condition of the AMD. PUBLIC TRANSIT CORPORATIONS

RESPONSIBILITIES

Since they own their infrastructure, the various public transit corporations are also responsible for the

construction, maintenance, operation and financing of such infrastructure, including compliance with attendant

regulations.

Consequently, it is the responsibility of the public transit corporations to evaluate, document and update

data regarding the condition of their infrastructure in order to support optimum management based on their

priorities.


The infrastructure portfolio of public transit corporations comprises buildings such as terminals and bus

shelters, garages for mechanical maintenance of equipment, stations, and administrative and service buildings.

Civil engineering structures include the infrastructure related to operating the Métro, that is, stations and

tunnels, reserved bus lanes and parking lots, and sites required to adequately manage the vehicle fleet.

Such structures also include the infrastructure related to operating the train network, that is, railroad lines,

bridges, culverts, tunnels and walls.

Lastly, equipment comprises Métro cars, including the new state-of-the-art AZUR cars, which combine

better reliability, increased capacity and enhanced comfort. Equipment related to the operation of the train

network, namely, locomotives, passenger cars and automatic electrified cars and railroad switches are also

under the Department’s responsibility. The mass transit equipment inventory also includes a fleet of buses

that provides quality mass transit, emergency vehicles, signalling, and all other equipment essential to

ensure service continuity.

Transports

C.96

THE SOCIETE DES TRAVERSIERS DU QUÉBEC

VISION

Be recognized as an innovative leader in public maritime transport by providing customers with an integrated

marine transportation experience adapted to its expectations with the support of a proud, committed team.

ORIENTATION

Ensure that it provides its clientele with safe, functional and quality vessels and land infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The STQ, which is under the umbrella of the Minister of Transport, must ensure that the infrastructure it

owns attains the objectives listed in this document. To this end, the STQ must allocate the resources

required to:

• Ensure their integrity;

• Ensure they are in regulatory compliance;

• Carry out work to extend their useful life;

• Make the necessary improvements to meet new requirements;

• Replace all infrastructure at the end of its useful life.


The nine crossings11 under the responsibility of the STQ are mainly located along the St. Lawrence River

between Sorel and the Basse-Côte-Nord.

In addition to its head office building, the STQ owns assets that include vessels, buildings (terminals, service

buildings, pedestrian bridges, warehouses, and workshops), wharves, docks and “other” civil engineering

structures (waiting areas, arterial roads).

1 Results based on 2019 data. 2 The value of the AMD of Highway system structures accounts for an adjustment of $1.0 billion in order to withdraw 15% of the estimated value of

the cost of reconstructing the Highway system’s main structures in poor condition (D-E). This adjustment reflects an estimation of the work related to functionality enhancement considered in the cost of a project, which is not considered when establishing the AMD.


Objectives

The strategies put forward by the expert units are updated annually in order to slow the growth of the AMD

and improve the proportion of infrastructure in good condition. In this respect, the 2019-2023 Strategic Plan

of the MTQ seeks to achieve the following objectives by 2022-2023:

• 53.0% of roadways in the highway system in good condition according to the government condition indicator (initial measurement: 50.0% in 2018);

• 79.0% of highway-system structures (by number) in good condition according to the government condition indicator (initial measurement: 76.0% in 2018);

• 61.0% of bridges (by number) in the municipal network under the management of the Department in good condition according to the government condition indicator (initial measurement: 58.0% in 2018).


Variation in inventory

Culverts under 3 m

The inventory consigned to AMPI varies slightly each year. It rose from 61,687 culverts in 2019-2020 to

61,814 culverts in 2020-2021. New culverts are inventoried each year, particularly due to the fact that

culverts are not always accounted for following their construction, especially culverts built before 2000.

Furthermore, changes in culvert characteristics following reconstruction and the addition of new culverts

directly affect the inventory. Note that the number of culverts can also drop when, for example, a culvert is

eliminated or is replaced by a structure.


Highway system roadways

The MTQ monitors 83.0% of main paved roadways in the Québec major road network, which corresponds

to 25,814 km of the 31,023 km. The unmonitored portion of roadways mainly comprises gravel roads and

onramps.

Structures (highway system and municipal bridges)

The inspection program provides a comprehensive picture of the condition of all structures under the

responsibility of the MTQ. Follow-up is carried out by means of different types of inspections at frequencies

that vary depending on the age and the level of deterioration of the structure.

Culverts under 3 m

Culverts are inspected according to the methodology found in the culvert inspection program. These

inspections make it possible to learn the condition of culverts located under the roads making up the road

network under the MTQs management. The frequency with which a culvert is inspected is determined by

its condition, characteristics and the importance of the road link. In 2019, the proportion of culverts

inspected reached 96.0%.

Transports

C.102

Methodology


Currently, the AMD and GCI are determined based on inspection data from 2019. The AMD and GCI are

extrapolated taking into account the representativeness and relative importance of the uninspected portions

of the system.

Condition indicator

For more than 15 years, the MTQ has been inspecting the main paved roadways, monitoring changes in

their condition and publishing an annual report based on a key indicator of ride comfort. The IRI, used to

measure the ride quality experienced by vehicle occupants and is a standard employed by the vast majority

of road authorities around the world. Its definition and calculation are subject to international standards.

The MTQ has used this indicator to define, in its successive strategic plans, performance targets in terms

of percentage of road network in good condition. The MTQ publishes the findings in its Rapport annuel de

gestion, and the results of its monitoring in its Bilan annuel d'état du réseau routier. Good pavement is

defined as a road segment in respect of which the value of the ride comfort index falls below a threshold

between good condition and a condition that requires intervention to restore sound ride quality. On the other

hand, the choice of initiatives and the best technique to be implemented take into consideration other

indicators such as rutting, cracking and vulnerability to freezing.

Within the framework of the AMPI, four indicators have been combined to create a new indicator integrated

for the purposes of the GCI: the IRI, the rutting index, the cracking index and vulnerability to freezing. A

road segment can offer good ride quality although it displays a fairly high cracking rate. The combination of

the four indicators means that the assessment presented based on the GCI can differ from that hinging

uniquely on the IRI. Consequently, recourse to this combination of indices better links the condition of

infrastructure to the investments needed to attain what is deemed satisfactory or better condition.

Asset maintenance deficit

The value of the AMD of roadways represents the cost of work to repair roadways in poor and very poor

condition for which the requisite work has not been carried out. Thus, these roadways have reached a state

of major deficiency, or in some cases, the residual useful life is less than or equals to 3 years.

Intervention strategy

The MTQ has adopted a planning strategy in respect of pavement preservation measures to ensure that road network users enjoy a high level of service. The strategy seeks to maximize long-term spinoffs from pavement preservation investments. The challenge is to invest in the right roadway at the right time using the proper technique through optimum planning of measures and to avoid the "worst is first" reflex.

The strategy is evolutive and suited to each territory of the Department according to the condition and intervention needs regarding the road network, the financial parameters and the objectives set in QIP, including targets established in the Department’s strategic plan.

Based on the principles of sound road asset management, this strategy hinges on four complementary

sections: preventive interventions to maintain roads in good condition, high cost-benefit corrective

rehabilitation measures, stopgap interventions to enhance the short-term security of the network until the


appropriate corrective work is carried out, and measures focusing on other considerations and uncertainties

to deal with unusual situations.

In addition to the above-mentioned parameters, the MTQ must ensure that it keeps a balance between

investments in complex measures that remedy major deficiencies and high cost-benefit investments that

remedy minor deficiencies. What is more, special attention is paid to heavily used road segments that

display rutting.

The strategy was adjusted in 2019 to provide greater precision and thereby facilitate application of the road

work program. However, since road work is programmed over 2 years, the new strategy will only be fully

implemented in 2021-2022. The year 2020-2021 is therefore a transition year.

This new strategy has five complementary components: safety interventions to eliminate major deep rutting

and IRI on curves, minor and major preventive interventions with a high cost-benefit depending on the

useful life of the roadway to maintain roads in good condition, and interventions for other reasons to

complete work that is not covered by the other components.

Structures (highway system and municipal bridges)

Condition indicator

For many years, the MTQ has been using different indicators to monitor the safety, functionality and general

condition of its structures. The main indicator used by most road authorities is the "proportion of structures

in good condition" which, for the purpose of the GCI, means all the condition indicators above the threshold

of very good (A), good (B), or satisfactory (C), while structures "to be repaired" fall under condition

indicators poor (D) and very poor (E).

At the MTQ, this indicator is based on the inspection data, targeting the main elements whose condition is

such that they require work within the next 5 years. Other complementary indicators are also used, such

as:

• A structure's functionality index, which measures whether the structure meets users' needs;

• A structure's behaviour index, which reflects the structure's stability and safety.

The combined results of these indicators help the MTQ choose the most attractive and beneficial course of

action.

The "proportion of structures in good condition" indicator is expressed as a number, facilitating its

interpretation. Conversely, it has the drawback of assigning the same weighting to every structure,

regardless of size. Another way to present the information, which appears in the previous table, is as a

percentage of the structure's value. This method offers the advantage of associating the need for

investments with the relative importance of the structures. Consequently, structures of high value strongly

influence the overall GCI of structures.

Transports

C.104


The AMD of structures in the highway system and bridges of the municipal system is the total work required

to restore to good condition structures requiring work for more than 5 years. This value is greatly influenced

by a few major structures requiring work and for which the MTQ has planned major work, such as the Turcot

interchange, Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine bridge-tunnel, and Ville-Marie and Viger tunnels as well as the

Île-aux-Tourtes, Île-d'Orléans and Honoré-Mercier bridges. The MTQ will continue to emphasize initiatives

that ensure public safety and is committed for many years to come to a replacement and maintenance cycle

focusing on aging assets.

Lastly, the MTQ has also developed other indicators in response to specific needs:

• The general condition indicator, which offers a cursory picture of the condition of structures for the general public by dividing them into four main categories, that is, structures that:

Require replacement;

Require major work;

Require repairs;

Do not require any intervention.

• The index of restoration investments to be carried out, developed at the request of the Auditor General of Québec.

The Bilan de l'état des structures presents information on the structures of the highway system and

municipal bridges under the responsibility of the MTQ. The Rapport annuel de gestion du ministère des

Transports includes reporting according to the targets established under the Plan stratégique 2019-2023.

The MTQ presents the general inspection reports on its structures on its website.


The intervention strategy devoted to structures prioritizes measures that ensure public safety. The MTQ's

initiatives also seek to maintain assets to ensure the structures' durability. Lastly, because of the

investments necessary, the strategic importance of structures and multi-year planning of initiatives, major

structures are handled separately.

Based on the 2019-2021 integrated intervention strategy, the preservation of structures hinges on four key

principles:

• Slow the pace of the structures' deterioration through targeted preventive maintenance measures and inexpensive repairs intended to postpone major interventions for 5 to10 years;

• Reduce as quickly as possible the number of structures to be repaired on the RSSCE;

• Focus structure repair projects on measures that are strictly confined to structural deficiencies or other safety-related problems without adding "non-priority" measures;

• Modify in the medium and long terms the distribution of intervention needs in respect of structures to lengthen the time available to plan and complete major repair work.


Culverts under 3 m

Condition indicator

The MTQ inspects culverts based on 18 criteria divided into four categories: structural capacity, hydraulic

capacity, condition of the embankment and the roadway, and the condition of other components such as

the headwall.

These inspections attribute a CCI to each culvert. The CCI determines the GCI linked to the infrastructure.

Culverts that are classed A, B or C are deemed to be in good condition, which means that they do not

require any major intervention in the short term. Some of them may require minor repairs or maintenance

to ensure their proper operation and to prolong their useful life. Culverts that are classed D and E are in

poor condition and require repairs, rehabilitation or reconstruction.


For the 2020-2021 AMPI, the MTQ presents a first evaluation of the AMD of culverts under 3 m based on

the rebuilding cost determined for culverts in poor condition, i.e. those classed D and E. This evaluation is

currently the most relevant and representative of the investment value required to restore them to good

condition (ABC).

The AMD calculation method for culverts under 3 m will be specified in the coming years.


The 2020-2022 integrated intervention strategy for culverts under 3 m is as follows:

• Complete repairs on culverts in conjunction with repairs on the roadway above the culverts;

• Reduce the number of culverts in poor condition classed D or E;

• Complete repairs aimed at maintaining culverts in class C in good condition.

Findings

1 The value of the AMD of Highway system structures accounts for an adjustment of $1.0 billion in order to withdraw 15% of the estimated value of

the cost of reconstructing the Highway system’s main structures in poor condition (D and E). This adjustment reflects an estimation of the work

related to functionality enhancement considered in the cost of a project, which is not considered when establishing the AMD.




The proportion of roads in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) in the major road network went from

50.0% to 49.0%, despite 2,501 km of roadwork being carried out during the year to maintain their condition.

The work can be broken down as follows:

• Repair work on 1,244 km (50.0%) (surface rehabilitation, extensive rehabilitation, reconstruction) to remedy deficiencies in the roadway;

• Preventive work on 973 km (39.0%) focused on sealing cracks and thin resurfacing to maintain the roadways in good condition (ABC) and increase their residual useful life at low-cost;

• Makeshift repairs on 284 km (11.0%) consisted in local repairs and thin resurfacing, which seek to achieve on roadways in very poor condition (E) that cannot be rehabilitated in the short term an adequate level of quality and safety by means of lower-cost temporary measures.


Changes in the AMD

The $376.0-million overall increase in the AMD is mainly attributable to the following factors:

Natural deterioration

• $801.0-million is attributable to the natural ageing of roadways that this year attained a residual useful life of less than three years(1,780 km);

• $344.0-million is linked to roadways that this year crossed the major deficiency threshold (zero residual useful life). Intervention needs on such roadways (1,218 km) are now more extensive and costly.

New findings

• $152.0-million increase associated with an increase this year in the cost of some types of roadway repair work;

• $225.0-million decrease stemming from the downward adjustment of intervention needs on certain roadways following the updating of condition data and configuration parameters.

Reduction

• 696.0-million towards repair work on roadways (1,237 km) intended to remedy their deficiencies.

Structures – Highways


Results according to number

The condition of structures on the major road network improved over the past year and the proportion of

structures in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) now stands at 77.0%. This improvement is attributable

to the many interventions on several structures with a lower value.

Results according to value

The overall condition of structures in the major road network according to value remained stable, with a

53.0% proportion of structures in satisfactory or better condition (ABC).

The major structure projects in the QIP encompass 83.0% of the value of the ADM. The projects under way

will facilitate the preparation and completion of work to reduce the cumulative AMD in the coming years.

The MTQ's management shows that it has control of its structures even though the tangible effects of the

AMD reduction will take several years to materialize.

Transports

C.108

Changes in the AMD

Overall, the AMD increased by $875.4 million. This variation is mainly due to the following factors:


• $407.1-million stems from the ageing of the structures overall.

New findings

• $985.3-million increase stemming from the updating of the cost of rebuilding structures whose condition falls below satisfactory (D and E), in particular the Ville-Marie/Viger tunnels, the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge, the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and the Autoroute Métropolitaine structure :

It can take several years to prepare and complete major structure rehabilitation or reconstruction projects. Estimated intervention costs are recorded in the AMD as long as the repair work has not been completed or the new structure has not been put into service. Consequently, they affect the scope of the AMD for several years. For example, in the case of the major work on the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel that will begin in 2020, the AMD will only be reduced at the end of the work, which is expected to take 4 years.

Reduction

The $517.0-million reduction in the AMD is mainly attributable to the following factors:

• $357.8-million is related to the completion of reconstruction work on certain bridges and overpasses that had reached the end of their useful life;

• $159.2-million is related to major repair work completed on critical components that prolong the useful life of certain structures or a review of the scope and nature of the requisite interventions observed during the latest inspections.

Structures — Municipal bridges


Results according to number

The proportion of municipal bridges in satisfactory or better condition (ABC) improved and stands at 59.0%.

This improvement is attributable to the many interventions on several structures with a lower value.

Results according to value

The overall condition of municipal structures according to value remained stable, with a 58.0% proportion

of structures in satisfactory or better condition (ABC).


Changes in the AMD

The $25.6-million overall increase in the AMD is mainly attributable to the following factors:


• $39.8-million stems from the ageing of the structures overall.

New findings

• $60.7-million increase due to a hike in the repair cost of structures deemed below the satisfactory threshold (D and E);

• $25.6-million decrease related to the review of the scope and nature of the requisite interventions observed during the latest inspections.

Reduction

• $49.3-million stems from work completed on structures deemed below the satisfactory threshold (D and E).

Culverts under 3 m Changes in condition The proportion of culverts in satisfactory or better condition is stable at 83.0%.

Changes in the AMD It is the first time that the AMD of culverts under 3 m is presented in the 2020-2021 AMPI. There is therefore

no variation.

Variation in inventory

The decrease in the number of Métro tunnels is due to the fact that tunnel sections with stations were

included in the Stations category rather than being considered as independent tunnel sections. The

increase in the number of bus shelters is due to the addition of RTM (exo) bus shelters, which began its

inventory this year.


This inventory of mass transit infrastructure incorporates all of the infrastructure owned by public transit

corporations, that is, the ARTM, RTM (exo), STM, RTC, RTL, STL (Laval), STO, STL (Lévis), STTR, STS

(Saguenay) and STS (Sherbrooke).

Given that the MTQ does not own public transit infrastructure, the inventory is based on available data

provided by the public transit corporations. From the standpoint of government guidelines, the MTQ collects

and processes, in collaboration with all public transit corporations, data to establish and update a complete,

representative picture of the condition of the infrastructure that the corporations own. This approach seeks

to plan the Gouvernement du Québec's investments to support public transit corporations over the next

ten years bearing in mind the responsibilities linked to the ownership of the infrastructure concerned.

Methodology

The condition indicator percentages (ABC / D / E) and the average condition indicator are weighted

according to the infrastructure for all categories, except reserved lanes and railroad lines, which are

weighted according to the number of kilometres.

A continuous inspection schedule was established targeting the critical components of buildings and civil

engineering structures essential for delivery of the required service. The objective is to have an up-to-date

picture of the condition of our infrastructure so as to support decision making in their regard.

For vessels, periodic inspection and follow-up programs for all components are required under the

legislative and standards-based obligations imposed by the Canada Shipping Act 2001, among others, and

and the statutory regulations of classification societies. As a result of these inspections, each vessel obtains

the periodic statutory approvals needed to maintain the certification required to perform its mission.

Methodology

The average age of the wharves and docks represents their effective age, which considers the

infrastructure's chronological age and the work done on it to ensure its ability to render service until the end

of its useful life.

For the vessels, buildings and civil engineering structures, the average age of these infrastructures

corresponds to their real age.

The method for evaluating the condition of buildings and civil engineering structures is based on the

establishment of a condition index subsequent to a technical inspection. For wharves and docks, the

condition assessment method is based on an infrastructure deterioration model according to effective age.

This evaluation supports the investment strategy for these infrastructures, which aims to carry out grouped

interventions to minimize the impact on operations.

For vessels, the condition assessment method considers their condition index and age to better reflect the

situation, supporting informed investment decisions in their regard.

The average condition indicators are weighted according to replacement value.


Objectives

In the coming years, the STQ’s objectives in managing its infrastructure are:

• Maintain a planned crossing completion rate of no less than 99.5%.

• Reach a proportion of infrastructure with a GCI of C or greater:

— 35% for wharves by March 2025, an improvement of 8%;

— 75% for docks by March 2025, an improvement of 7%;

— 92% for vessels by March 2023, an improvement of 3%.

• At all times, maintain a higher than 90% proportion of buildings and civil engineering structures in the “Other” category with a GCI of C or greater.

Findings



The average condition indicator for buildings declined slightly over the year, showing 94% of infrastructure

in satisfactory or better condition. The decrease is due to the fact that two buildings (Québec City and St-

Joseph-de-la-Rive) require major asset maintenance work that was identified in the inspection conducted

during the year.

The wharves and docks have average condition indicators of D and B respectively.

Several wharves are nearing the end of their useful life, decreasing the proportion of wharves in satisfactory

or better condition. As planned in the STQ’s intervention strategy, repair work is scheduled to keep the

wharves functional and extend their useful lives, in order to have the time needed to plan reconstruction

projects and return them to very good condition (A). This way, rebuilding work will meet the needs stemming

from the evolution of the service offering.

For the docks, the asset maintenance work completed during the year improved their condition, which is

reflected in a slight improvement in the proportion of docks in satisfactory or better condition.

The proportion of vessels in satisfactory or better condition has increased slightly from last year. The

increase is primarily due to the sale of the MV Lucien-L vessel, which was in poor condition (D) and the

acquisition of the MV Saaremaa vessel, which is in very good condition (A).

The change in the average vessel GCI from very good (A) to good (B) is due to the index’s weighting based

on replacement value and not by applying the criteria of deterioration index and age. The new weighting is

more representative of the average condition of the entire fleet.


Changes in AMD

Increase

The increase in the AMD primarily stems from wharf aging, with an increase of $37.9 million recorded due

to the following elements:

• $20.6 million for wharves that have reached the end of their useful lives and must be rebuilt to return them to good condition;

• $17.3 million for wharves that are approaching the end of their useful lives, including wharves that are showing AMD needs for the first time this year.

Decrease

The reduction of the AMD of $7.3 million for docks is due to the completion, during the year, of work to

modernize the hoisting systems at the Québec City and Lévis docks.
