Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Transition Book 5 (2021)
Provincial and Territorial Profiles

Key Partners and Stakeholders

Overview 

  • As Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, establishing a collaborative and constructive partnership with provinces and territories (PT), municipalities, Indigenous organizations, portfolio partners, and other key stakeholders, will be important over the course of your mandate.
  • You may wish to begin outreach to your key contacts in each PT early in your mandate. These meetings will be an opportunity to introduce yourself to your key contacts across the country, gain a better understanding of jurisdiction-specific infrastructure challenges and priorities, as well as set the stage for future collaboration.
  • You may wish to begin your outreach by scheduling bilateral calls or meetings with the PT ministers responsible for infrastructure. You could use these meetings to outline your priorities for your mandate, and to begin discussions around the priorities and pressures that exists in each PT.
  • With over 3,500 municipalities across Canada, engagement at the local and regional levels is integral to understanding how infrastructure is planned, administered, and used throughout the country. Within the Department, there is a trend towards greater direct engagement at the local and regional level, including direct-application programs and collaboration across the federal, PT and local governments to enhance Infrastructure Canada's capacity to make informed project investments.
  • As part of this direct engagement, you will be called upon to meet with mayors and a number of local associations and organizations during your outreach across the country. As a first step, you may wish to build a working relationship with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), the national voice of municipal governments in Canada, as well as the mayors of Canada's biggest cities.
  • Your colleagues from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and Indigenous Services Canada are overall leads for the majority of Indigenous policy and programming within the Government of Canada. However, infrastructure programming under your portfolio also benefits First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples. Accordingly, you may also wish to engage with the five key National Indigenous Organizations (NIOs).
  • As Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, you are also responsible for several Portfolio organizations. You may wish to reach out to partners of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, including the Mayors of both Detroit and Windsor, the Governor of Michigan, the United States' Ambassador to Canada, and the Walpole Island First Nation. Other portfolio  partners you may wish to engage include those of the Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridge Incorporated (such as CDPQ Infra and the cities of Montréal and Brossard) and Waterfront Toronto.
  • As the representative of public transit agencies across Canada, the Canadian Urban Transit Association  (CUTA) is a key partner. Finally, there are a number of other stakeholders with whom you may wish to engage. These include the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Construction Association, and the Canada Council for Public-Private Partnerships.
  • We would be pleased to provide you with additional information and will work with your Office to schedule meetings with key partners and stakeholders early in your mandate.

Marquee Projects

  • The federal government is contributing over $1 billion to the Valley Line West and Metro Line Northwest projects to expand the LRT system in the Edmonton area. Both projects will significantly extend service to new areas of the city, improve rider experience, increase accessibility, and lay the groundwork for future community growth. The Valley Line West LRT project will add approximately 14 kilometres to the LRT system, from downtown Edmonton to the west-end community of Lewis Farms; the Metro Line Northwest LRT project will extend the line by approximately 1.5 kilometres from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology to the Blatchford development. This public transit infrastructure is crucial to economic growth, reducing air pollution and creating inclusive communities where everyone has access to public services and job opportunities.
  • The main campus of the Red Crow Community College in Cardston County was destroyed in a fire in 2015. A new, close to 10,000m² campus building on the Kainai First Nation Reserve will include classrooms, labs, academic and counselling spaces for students, administrative and program spaces for employees, as well as a library, cafeteria and daycare. The facility will also feature a museum and archival space, a cultural teaching and gathering space, and an area for Elders. Once complete, the facility will support Indigenous learning, long-term regional development, and the creation of a talent pipeline for key industries.
