Infrastructure creates opportunities

We invest in Canada’s infrastructure priorities together with private sector, public and Indigenous partners. These investments help to catalyze additional private investment that benefits Canadian communities. 

From the construction jobs tied to the project to new or upgraded facilities that choose to locate close to an expanded port or airport, these projects are enabling more private investment.
