Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.4: Large-Scale Infrastructure Investments

This program supports projects that sustain economic growth and enhance the quality of life of Canadians. Investments are made in cooperation with the provinces, territories, municipalities, and the private sector, and contribute to the construction, renewal and/or enhancement of public infrastructure. The Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund leverages additional contributions from other partners by providing up to 50 percent funding for eligible projects.^{Footnote 3}

Since the program began in 2003-04, a total of 91 projects with a federal contribution of over $4.6 billion and total value of over $12.4 billion have been approved. A total of 74 projects have already been completed which represents 81% of the approved projects.

• The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Highways and Roads, with a total federal investment of over $1.7 billion, and

Public Transit, with a total federal investment of over $1.5 billion.

In 2017-2018, the Department continued to monitor and deliver the program with provincial and territorial partners and Transport Canada. Infrastructure Canada has largely met its targets under the program and intends to continue the monitoring and due diligence of ongoing projects to ensure their completion as part of the closeout activities of the program.

Progression of project completion continued to be lower than originally projected, given that CSIF projects are large-scale and complex in nature, many unknowns may arise during the course of the fiscal year. These factors include project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction-related complexities that also cause construction delays. Furthermore, these factors also lead to delays in the disbursement of federal contributions which lags the actual construction of projects as recipients are reimbursed for incurred expenditures only once they submit claims.

The program was extended in 2011-12, to allow recipients that have encountered construction delays to access the remainder of their federal contribution in order to complete their projects as expected.

Completed:
April 2013 - Audit of the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund
November 2017 - Audit of Alternative Program Administration

Planned:
2018-19 – Combined Audit and Evaluation of the Impacts of INFC Programs in the Territories

An evaluation to assess the impact of the department's programs in one of the largest cities in Canada, including CSIF, is scheduled for completion in 2019-2020.

Not applicable as all funding available for projects under this program has been committed.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program provides funding for investments in physical infrastructure, transportation system infrastructure and improved analytical capacity at the largest surface border crossings between Canada and the United States, as well as several other crossing points in Canada. Announced in Budget 2001, the fund provides up to 50 percent federal funding to support eligible projects at Canada's border crossings. Transport Canada is the federal delivery partner for this program.^{Footnote 7}

Since the program began in 2003-2004, a total of 12 projects with a federal contribution of over $591 million and total value of over $1.3 billion have been approved. A total of 9 projects have already been completed which represents 75% of the approved projects.

In 2017-2018, the Department continued to monitor and deliver the program with Transport Canada. Infrastructure Canada has largely met its targets to contribute to quality, cost-effective public infrastructure in support of a competitive economy through investments in physical and intelligent transportation system infrastructure to reduce border bottlenecks and expand or improve border/system capacity. Infrastructure Canada intends to continue to work with Transport Canada in the monitoring and due diligence of ongoing projects to ensure their completion as part of the closeout activities of the program.

Transportation projects funded under the program are large and complex by nature which makes them at higher risk of experiencing unexpected delays during their implementation as was the case in previous years. Projects faced delays for various reasons including technical and other construction-related complexities. Those factors lead to delays in the disbursement of federal contributions which lags the actual construction of projects as recipients are reimbursed for incurred expenditures only once they submit claims.

Program 1.2: Permanent and Flexible Infrastructure Funding

This program provides municipalities with predictable, long-term funding, enabling construction and rehabilitation of core public infrastructure. The federal government has entered into Gas Tax Fund administrative agreements with provinces, territories, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the City of Toronto. Those agreements provide the terms and condition by which the funding is to be administered and remain in effect until 2023-2024. The permanent Gas Tax Fund supports increased productivity and economic growth as well as strong cities and communities. Municipalities can pool, bank and borrow against this funding, providing significant additional financial flexibility. Eligible recipients are required to report annually on their use of funds and their compliance to the terms and conditions of the Gas Tax Fund agreements.

The Gas Tax Fund is a source of predictable federal funding for municipalities and as such, Infrastructure Canada and its partners work together to ensure that payments are made on schedule. Funding letters issued to signatories are dependent on the submission and acceptance of an Annual Report (Financial Report Table, Project List) and an Independent Audit Opinion or Audit Based Attestation. In 2017-2018, all jurisdictions received their payments, totaling about $2.0 billion.

Completed:
June 2009 - Audit of the Management Control Framework for the Gas Tax Fund

GTF will be considered as part of evaluations of the impacts of infrastructure funding in small communities and in the largest cities in Canada (both planned for completion in FY 2019-2020).

A GTF specific evaluation was completed in August 2015. The next GTF evaluation is scheduled for completion in FY 2020-2021.

Infrastructure Canada continues to collaborate with provinces, territories, the City of Toronto and municipal associations through agreement monitoring activities such as oversight committees and program workshops. Discussions regarding outcome reporting, existing data, and agreement amendments are ongoing.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.1: Funding for Provincial-Territorial Priorities

This program provides base funding to each province and territory for core infrastructure priorities. In addition, funding under the Building Canada Fund for the three territories is managed under this Fund. The Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund supports economic growth and productivity, and promotes a cleaner environment and prosperous communities. Payments are made in advance and cost-sharing provisions apply to a capital plan as a whole, and not individual initiatives. Provinces and territories may pool, bank, or cash-manage these funds to give them flexibility in implementation.

Actual results show that provinces and territories have contributed well beyond the program's cost sharing requirements. Infrastructure Canada continues to work with provincial and territorial governments to ensure that the required annual expenditure and audit reports are submitted, and the Department provides guidance on any issues that may arise during the provincial or territorial audit that would potentially delay their report submissions and related payments. By March 31, 2018, three of thirteen jurisdictions have completed all reporting obligations and have received their final payments under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund. Three further jurisdictions have submitted all final reporting obligations and are in the process of receiving their final payment. The funding agreements for the remaining jurisdictions have been extended to allow for the completion of all initiatives and reporting requirements, as well as the reconciliation of cost sharing requirements against final initiative costs. These extended funding agreements are expected to close out over the next three years.

Under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund, the Government of Canada's flow of funding to the provinces and territories is subject to the submission and federal acceptance of Capital Plans and/or Expenditure Reports. As reporting is cumulative, any delay in the submission of a given report will result in delays to subsequent reports, and related payments. In addition, the final expenditure and audit report must demonstrate that all Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund initiatives in a jurisdiction have been completed. Due to delays in completing a small number of initiatives, this requirement was not met by the end of 2017-2018 in several provinces and territories, thus delaying the submission of final expenditure and audit reporting and resulting in extensions to funding agreements and the re-profiling of funds for these remaining jurisdictions. As noted above, only three jurisdictions have completed all reporting obligations and received final payments, and two jurisdictions are completing capital plan amendment requests to ensure that federal cost sharing is reconciled with final initiative costs before they fully close the program. Three more jurisdictions will be closed out by fall 2018 and five others are expected to close out by March 31, 2019.

Completed:
June 2011 - Audit of the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Funding Initiative

Evaluations of the impact of the Department's programs in small communities and in one of Canada's largest cities are planned that might cover some PT base components. These evaluations are scheduled to be completed in FY 2019-20.

All funding available for projects under this program has been committed. The Department continues to work with jurisdictions to flow funding, including final payments, under the PT-Base Fund.

Program 1.5: Infrastructure Investments in Small Communities and Rural Areas

The Building Canada Fund - Communities Component Building Canada Fund supports the infrastructure needs of smaller communities with populations of less than 100,000. Project costs are shared with provincial, territorial and municipal governments, with each order of government generally contributing one-third of the eligible costs. The fund supports the construction, renewal, and enhancement of basic infrastructure such as potable water, wastewater treatment, local roads, and other infrastructure needs of small communities.^{Footnote 16}

The Building Canada Fund - Large Urban Centres Component (LUCC) invests in infrastructure projects in Quebec's communities of 100,000 inhabitants or more. This Component was designed to help Quebec's nine big cities (Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Lévis, Trois-Rivières) to meet their urgent infrastructure needs.

In most jurisdictions, the BCF-CC construction completion deadline was March 31, 2016.

In Quebec, both the BCF-CC and LUCC had the deadlines extended to 2020.

Since the programs began, a total of 982 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.2 billion and total value of over $3.7 billion have been approved. A total of 907 projects have already been completed which represents 92% of the approved projects.

The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Wastewater, with a total federal investment of over $398 million, and

• Drinking Water, with a total federal investment of over to $349 million.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 75 projects with a federal contribution of over $276 million and total value of over $829 million are still underway.

Program spending was lower than planned. This can be attributed to a number of factors including project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction-related complexities that can lead to construction delays, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that the disbursement of federal contributions follows the actual construction of projects as recipients are reimbursed for incurred expenditures only once they submit claims.

Completed:
February 2012 - Audit of the Building Canada Fund - Communities Component

An evaluation of BCF-CC was completed in August 2015. An evaluation of the impact of the Department's programs in small communities may cover components of BCF-CC. It is scheduled to be completed by FY 2019-20.

All funding available for projects under this program has been committed. The Department continues to work with jurisdictions to flow funding, including final payments, under this Fund.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.4: Large-Scale Infrastructure Investments

This program targets larger infrastructure projects of national or regional significance. It increases overall investment in public infrastructure and contributes to broad federal objectives: economic growth, a cleaner environment and strong and prosperous communities. At least two-thirds of the funding is targeted to national priorities: water, wastewater, public transit, the core national highway system and green energy. By providing federal funding on a cost-shared basis, it leverages additional contributions from other partners to increase overall investment in infrastructure.^{Footnote 20}

Since the program began in 2008-09, a total of 199 projects with a federal contribution of over $6.5 billion and total value of over $19.7 billion have been approved. A total of 145 projects have already been completed which represents 73% of the approved projects.

The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Public Transit, with a total federal investment of over $2.9 billion, and

• Highways and Roads, with a total federal investment of over $1.9 billion.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 9 projects with a federal contribution of over $228 million and total value of over $619 million began construction; and

• 4 projects with a federal contribution of over $45.8 million and total value of over $100 million completed construction; and

• 54 projects with a federal contribution of over $3.4 billion and total value of over $10.8 billion are still underway.

This program provides significant funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of upfront planning, design and procurement. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. As a result, there is often a period of time that will pass between project announcements and the start of construction. Even when construction has started, a number of factors beyond the control of funding recipients can result in lower spending than forecasted, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that actual spending lags behind the actual rate of construction of projects since recipients are reimbursed only once claims are submitted, even though eligible costs may have already been incurred.

Completed:
November 2017 - Audit of Alternative Program Administration

An evaluation to assess the impact of the department's programs, including BCF-MIC, in one of Canada's largest cities is scheduled for completion in FY 2019-2020.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program supports environmental infrastructure projects that promote cleaner air, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and cleaner water. Targeted investments in green infrastructure can contribute to improving the quality of the environment and a more sustainable economy over the longer term. There are five eligible categories of investment: wastewater infrastructure, green energy generation infrastructure, green energy transmission infrastructure, solid waste infrastructure, and carbon transmission and storage infrastructure. By providing up to 50 percent federal funding on a cost-shared basis, the fund leverages additional investments from other partners.^{Footnote 24}

Since the program began, a total of 21 projects with a federal contribution of over $743 million and total value of over $2.3 billion have been approved. A total of 6 projects have already been completed which represents 29% of the approved projects.

The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Wastewater, with a total federal investment of over $295 million, and

• Green Energy, with a total federal investment close to $269 million.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 1 project with a federal contribution of over $11.3 million and total value of over $34.1 million completed construction; and

• 15 projects with a federal contribution of over $498 million and total value of over $1.5 billion are still underway.

This program provides significant funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of planning, design and procurement. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. Once contribution agreements for projects are signed with project proponents, the Government of Canada has a legal obligation to provide the committed funding in accordance with the terms of those agreements.

The objective of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Program is to construct a 137 kilometre all-season road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. This includes upgrading a 19 kilometre access road to highway standards, as well as new embankment construction and related structures with final surface topping and additional work to return the land to its original state.

The highway opened to the public in November 2017. To date there is 120km of completed embankment along with 8 bridges and 340 culverts. This work was completed with 74% of the workforce from the Inuvik region or other Northwest Territories communities. The project has provided 185 people with training or experience in a variety of areas, such as heavy equipment operation.

Unspent money was re-profiled to further years to ensure payment of close-out activities.

The PTIC-SCF provides contribution funding for infrastructure projects in small communities with populations of 100,000 or less. Infrastructure Canada enters into funding agreements with provinces and territories for the implementation of the PTIC-SCF. In turn, the provinces and territories administer the project identification process in keeping with SCF program parameters. PTI-SCF represents 10 percent (10%) of the overall Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component funding envelope, and makes $964,240,000 in contribution funding available to provinces and territories for local infrastructure. This Sub-Program provides contribution funding for infrastructure projects in small communities with populations of 100,000 or less. Infrastructure Canada enters into funding agreements with provinces and territories for the implementation of the PTIC-SCF. In turn, the provinces and territories administer the project identification process in keeping with SCF program parameters. The PTIC-SCF is designed to leverage the resources and existing processes of provinces and territories in managing local projects, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope.

Since the program began in 2014-2015, a total of 767 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.2 billion and total value of over $3.3 billion have been approved. A total of 140 projects have already been completed which represents 18% of the approved projects.

The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Highways and Roads, with a total federal investment of over $295 million, and

• Wastewater, with a total federal investment of over $225 million.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 204 new projects with a federal contribution of over $233 million and total value of over $575 million were approved; and

• 82 projects with a federal contribution of over $107 million and total value of over $302 million began construction; and

• 52 projects with a federal contribution of over $37.7 million and total value of over $99.2 million completed construction; and

• 627 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.2 billion and total value of over $3.1 billion are still underway.

Program spending was lower than planned. This can be attributed to a number of factors including project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction-related complexities that can lead to construction delays which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that the disbursement of federal contributions follows the actual construction of projects as recipients are reimbursed for incurred expenditures only once they submit claims.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program supports projects of national significance, that have broad public benefits, and that contribute to Canada's long-term economic growth and prosperity. The NIC is a merit-based application-driven program, and as such, there are no pre-determined provincial or territorial allocations.

Since the program began in 2014-2015, a total of 9 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.6 billion and total value of over $4.3 billion have been approved.

The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Highways and Roads, with a total federal investment of over $1.5 billion, and

• Marine, with a total federal investment of over $111 million.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 1 new project with a federal contribution of over $247 million and total value of over $457 million was approved; with

• Another 8 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.3 billion and total value of over $3.8 billion still underway.

This program provides funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of upfront planning, and design. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. As a result, there is often a period of time that will pass between project announcements and the start of construction.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program provides short-term funding of $3.4 billion to shorten commute times, cut air pollution, strengthen communities and grow Canada's economy. Infrastructure Canada entered into contribution agreements with all provinces and territories for the delivery of PTIF. In turn, provinces and territories entered into agreements with eligible recipients to manage projects. As this is a cost-share program, federal funding from all sources can be up to 50% in provinces and 75% in territories of total eligible costs per project. All eligible projects are approved for PTIF funding by Infrastructure Canada and provinces and territories are required to report on progress at least on a semi-annual basis. The PTIF is designed to leverage funding through project partners to accelerate investments in public transit, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope.

In the fall of 2017, provinces and territories were informed that the program was to be extended. And as such, recipients may incur eligible costs up to and including March 31, 2020.

Since the program began, a total of 1130 projects with a federal contribution of over $2.5 billion and total value of over $5.1 billion have been approved. A total of 137 projects have already been completed which represents 12% of the approved projects. The entire program's investment are directed to improving public transit throughout Canada.

Investments made through the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund have translated into the acquisition of over 3300 new buses and the rehabilitation or enhancement to over 3700 existing buses.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 52 new projects with a federal contribution of over $1.4 billion and total value of over $2.8 billion were approved; and

• 86 projects with a federal contribution of over $505 million and total value of over $1.0 billion began construction; and

• 13 projects with a federal contribution of over $61.6 million and total value of over $125 million completed construction; and

• 93 projects with a federal contribution of over $2.4 billion and total value of over $4.9 billion are still underway.

The program has experienced delays in implementation. Provinces and territories requested an extenuation in order to complete projects and in the fall of 2017 an extension was granted by Infrastructure Canada. This has affected the implementation of the program as municipalities are taking more time to complete projects.

In addition to a number of factors including project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction-related complexities have led to construction delays, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that the disbursement of federal contributions are provided to recipients once they submit claims for incurred expenditures.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program provides short-term funding of $2 billion to provide communities with more reliable water and wastewater systems so that both drinking water and effluent meet legislated standards. Infrastructure Canada has entered into contribution agreements with all provinces and territories for the delivery of CWWF. In turn, provinces and territories entered into agreements with eligible ultimate recipients to manage projects. Under this cost-share program, federal funding from all sources can be up to 50% in provinces and 75% in territories of total eligible costs per project. All eligible projects are approved for CWWF funding by Infrastructure Canada and provinces and territories are required to report on progress at least on a semi-annual basis. The CWWF is designed to leverage funding through project partners to accelerate investments in capital water, wastewater, and storm water system projects, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope.

In the fall of 2017, provinces and territories were informed that the program was to be extended and as such, recipients may incur eligible costs up to and including March 31, 2020.

Since the program began, a total of 2359 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.9 billion and total value of over $3.8 billion have been approved. A total of 198 projects have already been completed which represents 8% of the approved projects.

The largest categories of investment are the following:

• Drinking Water, with a total federal investment of over $1.0 billion, and

• Wastewater, with a total federal investment of over $830 million.

Investments made through the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund have translated into the rehabilitation or enhancement of over 750 drinking water and 650 wastewater facilities.

In 2017-2018, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program:

• 1467 new projects with a federal contribution of over $649 million and total value of over $1.4 billion were approved; and

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

The Asset Management Fund (AMF) is a five-year, $50 million program that will support Canadian municipalities and communities to make informed infrastructure investment decisions based on stronger asset management practices. Infrastructure Canada entered into an agreement with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), which is responsible for delivering the program under the name of "Municipal Asset Management Program". AMF will support an estimated 1,000 municipalities in all provinces and territories to manage their infrastructure more strategically, thereby contributing to the success of new federal investments in municipal infrastructure.

Since the program began, a total of 249 projects with a federal contribution of over $12.7 million and total value of over $17.6 million have been approved. A total of 25 projects have already been completed which represents 10% of the approved projects.

• 217 projects with a federal contribution of over $11.3 million and total value of over $15.5 million began; and

• 25 projects with a federal contribution of over $948 thousand and total value of over $1.3 million completed; and

• 224 projects with a federal contribution of over $11.7 million and total value of over $16.3 million are still underway.

The overall spending was lower than planned. The primary reason for the variance was related to costs budgeted to promote the program which were not necessary a result of the successful outreach conducted by the FCM team and the solid partnerships formed with Provincial and Territorial Municipal Associations and Community of Practice. The program also underspent with respect to Peer Reviewer honorariums.

No audits planned or completed

An evaluation is scheduled to be completed FY 2021-2022

Direct funding is offered via FCM's website and promoted via e-bulletins to FCM's membership, via partner organization bulletins, Municipal Infonet and other media outlets. A range of in-person and online learning opportunities is offered and promoted by both FCM and partner organizations across Canada.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

The CB3CF provides $75 million to increase municipal capacity to make low carbon and climate resilient infrastructure investments. Infrastructure Canada entered into an agreement with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), which is responsible for delivering the program under the name of "Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program." The FCM reviews and approves projects, and transfers funding to recipient municipalities. The FCM shares program and project information with Infrastructure Canada so the department can report results under this program to Canadians.

Since the program began, a total of 93 projects with a federal contribution of over $17 million and total value of over $35.5 million have been approved. A total of 16 projects have already been completed which represents 17% of the approved projects.

• 78 projects with a federal contribution of over $13.6 million and total value of over $30.7 million began; and

• 16 projects with a federal contribution of over $2.4  million and total value of over $3.4 million completed; and

• 77 projects with a federal contribution of over $14.5 million and total value of over $32 million are still underway.

Overall, 2017-2018 was a year of significant accomplishment for the program. However, several factors led to delays in spending.

• The program experienced a higher than anticipated volume of applications, which resulted in a need to allocate greater amounts of staff time toward responding to inquiries and processing applications. This led to decisions to delay the launch of other program components, so as not to compromise on the quality of delivery.

• FCM also experienced a delay in obtaining an exemption from the Quebec M-30 law, which meant that Quebec municipalities were unable to directly access MCIP funding. Although a small number of applications from eligible municipal partners were approved, the delay resulted in a reduced application volume within Quebec.

New Bridge for the St. Lawrence Corridor Project (New Champlain Bridge Corridor Project)

The new Champlain Bridge Corridor (NCBC) Project includes the replacement of the Champlain Bridge with a 3.4 kilometres bridge. The Project will widen the federally owned portion of Highway 15 to a six-lane capacity. The NCBC Project is being delivered as a public-private partnership (P3).

• Maintain the Safety and Efficiency of the Corridor;

• Foster Sustainable Development and Urban Integration within the Montreal area;

• Improve the Flow of People and Goods in the Montreal Area;

• Improve the Safety of Users Through Modern Design Aspects;

• Design and construct the new Champlain Bridge and Ile des Soeurs Bridge with 125 Year Life Expectancies;

• Design and construct a Public Transit Corridor and Highway 15 that meet Engineering Standards;

The NCBC project will foster economic growth by improving connections across road systems and ensuring the continuous and safe flow of people and goods. The Project is a crucial corridor for the regional economy and for Canada as a whole. The existing Champlain Bridge is one of the busiest bridges in Canada with traffic estimated at over 40 million vehicles per year. It is a major Canada-United States trade corridor, handling $20 billion of international trade and 11 million transit commuters per year.

In addition to ensuring the safety of users, replacing the existing infrastructures, as well as widening Highway 15 will mitigate disruptions to the trade corridor and will improve the flow of traffic.

The Investing in Canada Plan (the Plan) is the Government of Canada's national strategy to address Canada's aging infrastructure and rebuild the nation for the 21st Century. Through the Plan, the Government of Canada is making historic new investments in infrastructure-more than doubling existing funding – to provide communities across the country with the tools they need to prosper and innovate. To do this, the federal government is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in five main infrastructure priorities:

• public transit infrastructure
• green infrastructure
• social infrastructure
• trade and transportation infrastructure
• rural and northern communities infrastructure

These investments will create long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable communities and support a low carbon, green economy.

The initial phase of the Plan, announced in Budget 2016, focused on laying a foundation in the short term by accelerating existing federal infrastructure investments and providing $14.4 billion in additional funding for the rehabilitation, repair, and modernization of existing infrastructure.

Budget 2017 builds on this foundation with $81.2 billion in new funding, to be delivered over 11 year, starting in 2017-18.

The Government of Canada is working closely with partners and stakeholders to deliver this ambitious plan that will make a real difference to Canadians and their communities.
