Province to bring Ontario Realty Corp in house

In an effort to save money, the province is merging the Ontario Realty Corp (ORC) back into the government.

The ORC is  the real estate service arm of the government that manages one of the largest portfolios in Canada consisting of nearly 6,400 buildings and structures. The ORC will be folded into Infrastructure Ontario.

The move comes as Liberal government moves to reduce the number of public agencies by 5 per cent in order to shave down the $18.7 billion deficit.
