What is the Building Canada plan?
Building Canada is the Government of Canada’s new infrastructure plan that commits an unprecedented $33 billion in funding, from 2007 to 2014, to infrastructure projects that deliver results in three areas of national importance: a growing economy, a cleaner environment, and more prosperous communities. Building Canada was developed following extensive consultations with provinces, territories, and stakeholders. It outlines a streamlined set of programs designed to simplify the funding process and provide greater flexibility for governments to address national priorities and to respond to local needs.
