Ted Falk, Member of Parliament for Provencher, recently highlighted important details of the $53B New Building Canada Plan. This statement was made on behalf of the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec.
These details, which relate to key elements of the New Building Canada Fund, provide provinces, territories and municipalities with the information they need to plan infrastructure projects in their jurisdictions. They include dedicated funding for small communities, Provincial-Territorial allocations, project categories eligible for support, cost-sharing thresholds and public-private partnership (P3) screening requirements.
“Our Government has proudly made unprecedented investments in Canada’s infrastructure since 2006,” explained MP Falk. “I am extremely happy to announce that we have now released specific details about the New Building Canada Plan. With the release of these details, communities in Provencher have the information needed to develop their local infrastructure priorities and start planning for the years ahead.”
