Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Infrastructure Ministers meet to plan future infrastructure investments
Whistler, British Columbia, June 21, 2023 — Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Rob Fleming, British Columbia’s Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, co-chaired a meeting of federal, provincial, and territorial Infrastructure ministers to strengthen collaboration and advance shared priorities.
Ministers discussed the considerable number of investments and projects completed through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, including the robust collaboration that led to the successful allocation of all federal funding by March 31, 2023. They also exchanged on ways to collaboratively address the infrastructure challenges Canada will face in the coming years.
As the Government of Canada charts a course for future federal infrastructure investments, Ministers committed to ensuring that those investments are focused on climate resiliency, increasing the housing stock, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and growing the economy. They agreed that implementing measures such as transit-oriented development (TOD) will be key to reaching those objectives over the coming years.
Through continued investments in infrastructure, the Government of Canada and its partners are growing our country’s economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
