Infrastructure Spending

WE ARE CALLING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP BUILD BACK BETTER BY SUPPORTING CANADIAN CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND COMMUNITIES.

For every $1 invested in infrastructure, the GDP rises by $1.50.
$100 billion in infrastructure spending creates one million full-time jobs.
