Backgrounder: The Investing in Canada plan: Ongoing programs
Backgrounder
The Investing in Canada plan, the federal government's long-term infrastructure plan is providing over $180 billion in infrastructure funding available over 12 years.
The funding is comprised of three main envelopes:
- $14.4 billion in programs to address immediate needs identified by communities.
- $81.2 billion in longer-term funding programs introduced as part of Budget 2017. The programs collectively provide communities and provincial or territorial governments with a wide range of funding options to meet their unique and diverse infrastructure project needs.
- $92.2 billion in ongoing programs.
The table below provides information on the $92.2 billion that remains available to support local, regional and national infrastructure priorities through ongoing programs. The 22 programs support thousands of local projects each year. For example, through the federal Gas Tax Fund, about 4,000 projects are supported annually across Canada's 3,600 communities.
