Short Version

Bill 155 restructures and renames the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario as Agricultural Research and Innovation Ontario, expanding its mandate and clarifying its governance, financial oversight, and property management powers.

What It Means

Bill 155 amends the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario Act to rename and restructure the organization. The main changes include: renaming the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario to Agricultural Research and Innovation Ontario (and declaring it an agent of the Crown); expanding its objects to include innovation, knowledge translation and transfer, and property conservation; clarifying the composition and role of the board of directors (7 to 15 members appointed by the Minister); changing the leadership from a "Director of Research" to a "Managing Director" appointed as a public servant; establishing new financial governance including budget approval by the Managing Director and the Minister; requiring annual business plans to be made public; adding provisions for intellectual property management; clarifying the Corporation's power to acquire and manage property, including conservation agreements and easements for agricultural land; and adding liability protections for Crown agents and Corporation officials. The bill also makes corresponding changes to other Ontario laws that reference the old act name.
