IPFA Americas: Toronto: What Next? Infrastructure in Canada Post Election
The 2019 Canadian Federal Election saw a commitment to infrastructure across party lines which will likely see a continuation of the unprecedented levels of investment across Canada. The last term brought the introduction of the Canada Infrastructure Bank, the end of the P3 screen for projects, a new impact assessment regime for major projects, the opening up of sub-Federal procurement markets through the trade agreement with the European Union, and the introduction of community benefits requirements for projects receiving federal funding. This discussion will look at what was achieved over the last four years, and what we can expect over the next four years.
• What policies can we expect in this new term?
• What does the result mean for the project pipeline?
• Which sectors will be the focus of future investment?
• How will the federal-provincial-municipal dynamic play out?
• Will there be greater use of alternative delivery models?
