Conservatives announced plan to build key infrastructure

Erin O’Toole

Ottawa, ON – Today, the Hon. Erin O’Toole, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives, announced his plan to build key infrastructure to get the economy moving through Canada’s Recovery Plan.

Canada’s Conservatives will be partners on key projects across the country, like Ontario’s GTA transit plan, Vancouver’s SkyTrain extension to Langley, Quebec City’s Third Link, and the Calgary Green Line.

Through Canada’s Recovery Plan, Canada’s Conservatives will immediately unlock those unused dollars and invest in shovel-ready projects that will put Canadians to work, cut commute times, and clean up the environment.

Under the infrastructure plan, Canada’s Conservatives will also:

• Provide more flexibility to municipalities and First Nations by removing onerous requirements to receive federal infrastructure funding.
• Scrap the failed Canada Infrastructure Bank and commit the money sitting unused on its books to infrastructure projects that can strengthen our economy.
• Reprioritize the Investing in Canada Plan toward infrastructure projects that would have the maximum benefit for economic recovery.
• Build digital infrastructure to connect all of Canada to high-speed Internet by 2025.
