How does CAF fit with other Economic Action Plan initiatives that have been announced?
A. The Community Adjustment Fund is just one of several initiatives in Canada’s Economic Action Plan that will help to mitigate the impacts of the global economic downturn on our communities. Other investments include the $4-billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund that provides funding to renew aging infrastructure; the $1-billion Green Infrastructure Fund that assists with projects like public transit, sustainable energy and waste management; and the $500-million Recreational Infrastructure Canada initiative that supports construction of new community recreational facilities and upgrades to existing facilities across Canada.
