Federal infrastructure minister announces national infrastructure assessment

The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, launched an engagement paper on Canada’s first national infrastructure assessment.

Building the Canada We Want in 2050 sets out the purpose and benefits of undertaking a national infrastructure assessment and seeks input from the public, Indigenous Peoples, provinces, territories, municipalities, and stakeholders on three main priorities:

• assessing Canada’s infrastructure needs and establishing a long-term vision,
• improving coordination among infrastructure owners and funders, and
• determining the best ways to fund and finance infrastructure.

MCA Canada is inviting members to submit any feedback to the association by emailing Ken Lancastle.
