End Date Ongoing8
Fiscal Year For Terms And Conditions 2013-20149
Strategic Outcome Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada
Link To Department's Program Alignment Architecture Permanent and Flexible Infrastructure Funding
Description This program provides municipalities with predictable long-term funding, enabling construction and rehabilitation of core public infrastructure. The federal government has concluded Gas Tax Fund Agreements with provinces, territories, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the City of Toronto, which were in effect from 2005-2006 to 2013-2014. Moreover, all Gas Tax Fund Agreements have been renewed and signed for the permanent Gas Tax Fund, starting in 2014-2015. Gas Tax Fund Agreements establish an accountability framework allowing the Government of Canada to flow Gas Tax Fund money twice a year to signatories which, in turn, flow funds to municipalities based on an agreed-upon allocation formula. For their part, municipalities decide which projects to prioritize within established investment categories. In addition to supporting environmental objectives, the permanent Gas Tax Fund supports increased productivity and economic growth and strong cities and communities via an expanded list of eligible investment categories. 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 terms and conditions of the Gas Tax Fund Agreements. As announced in Economic Action Plan 2013, the renewed Gas Tax Fund is now indexed at 2 percent per year, and will give municipalities greater flexibility to spend federal funding on a broader range of infrastructure priorities.
Expected Results Provinces, Territories and Municipal Associations are accountable for funding provided to local governments through the Gas Tax Fund. Municipalities have access to stable and predictable funding to build and improve infrastructure and Gas Tax Fund promotes investments in increased productivity and economic growth, a clean environment, and strong cities and communities.

Fiscal Year of Planned Completion of Next Evaluation 2015-2016
General Targeted Recipient Groups Under the renewed GTF, the Government of Canada has renewed bilateral administrative agreements with provinces, territories, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, and the City of Toronto. Co-signatories to these agreements (with the exception of the City of Toronto) then transfer funding to recipient municipalities within their jurisdictions, based on an agreed-upon allocation formula and through individual agreements with recipient municipalities. Project selection is made at the municipal level, approved by the province and reported to the federal government in an annual report. In this way, over 3,600 municipalities receive Gas Tax funding.
Initiatives to Engage Applicants and Recipients All renewed GTF agreements have been signed and Infrastructure Canada will continue collaborating with provinces, territories, the City of Toronto and municipal associations through agreement monitoring activities such as oversight committees and program workshops.

Strategic Outcome Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada
Link To Department's Program Alignment Architecture Funding for Provincial-Territorial Priorities
Description 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 was designed to help restore fiscal balance while enhancing Canada's public infrastructure system. It also supports economic growth and productivity, and promotes a cleaner environment and prosperous communities. While payments are made to provinces and territories, ultimate recipients can also include local and regional governments or private sector bodies. In order for federal funding to flow, provinces and territories submit a list of infrastructure initiatives through a capital plan which must be accepted by the Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs. 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.
Expected Results Infrastructure Canada funding through the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund leverages investments in infrastructure by other partners, and recipient organizations are accountable for funding provided through the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund.

The Major Infrastructure Component has 12 additional eligible categories of investment, and priority projects are identified through discussions with provinces. By providing federal funding on a cost-shared basis, it leverages additional contributions from other partners to increase overall investment in infrastructure. Projects must be supported by a business case and undergo a federal review against key program criteria.17
Expected Results Funding through the Building Canada Fund-Major Infrastructure Component leverages investments in infrastructure by other partners. Large infrastructure is implemented that promotes a cleaner environment, a competitive economy and liveable communities.

[20] Of the $1 billion originally allocated to the GIF, $169.98 million was transferred to other federal departments to support high-priority initiatives. These departments were Natural Resources Canada ($100 million for the Forestry Industry Transformation Program), Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec ($30 million for the Temporary Initiative for the Strengthening of Quebec's Forest Economies and $18.15 million for the Natural Gas Pipeline between Vallée Jonction and Thetford Mines), and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada ($21.83 million for the Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment). These funds were reallocated through Estimates processes prior to 2015-2016.

In addition, as part of the 2010 Strategic Review process, $45 million in unallocated funds from the GIF was removed from departmental reference levels, and made available for other Government of Canada priorities. This was approved in Budget 2011. As well, in the 2012-2013 Main Estimates, $58.7 million was approved and reallocated from the GIF as a source of funds for the operating requirements of the Department. No announced infrastructure projects have been cancelled or otherwise affected as a result of these reallocations.
