Building Canada Plan
Overview Building Canada is an infrastructure plan that is building a stronger, safer and better Canada. It provides more funding, over a longer period of time (from 2007 to 2014), than any previous federal-provincial infrastructure initiative. Building Canada is supporting a stronger Manitoba economy by investing in infrastructure that contributes to increased trade, efficient movement of goods and people, and economic growth. This will include projects such as improvements to the core National Highway System, short-line railways, short-sea shipping, regional and local airports, broadband and convention centres. Categories eligible for funding A healthy environment is a clear priority for Canadians. Building Canada focuses on infrastructure investments that contribute to cleaner air, water and land, including public transit, wastewater and solid waste management, brown field remediation, and green energy. To promote the development of strong and prosperous communities of all sizes, Building Canada supports investments in public infrastructure that improves the health and safety of families and makes communities more livable. For example, eligible investment categories include safe drinking water, local roads, bridge rehabilitation, and sports and culture. The Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba are partnering to provide more long-term and predictable infrastructure funding, as well as more streamlined programs. Results that matter to Canadians Building Canada focuses on delivering results that matter to Canadians-cleaner air and water, safer roads, shorter commutes, and prosperous, livable communities. This seven year plan, from 2007 to 2014, will make a real difference in the everyday lives of Canadians, while supporting the nation's priorities-a stronger economy, cleaner environment and better communities.
