Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.4: Large-Scale Infrastructure Investments

This program supports projects that sustain economic growth and enhance the quality of life of Canadians. Investments are made in cooperation with the provinces, territories, municipalities, and the private sector, and contribute to the construction, renewal and/or enhancement of public infrastructure. The Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund leverages additional contributions from other partners by providing up to 50 percent funding for eligible projects.^{Footnote 4}

Since the program began in 2003-04, a total of 91 projects with a federal contribution of $4.6 billion and total value of $12.4 billion have been approved under the program. Collaboration with federal delivery partners and stakeholders is effectively supporting program delivery. Over 80 percent of projects are completed.

The largest categories of investment under the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund are the following: Highways and Roads infrastructure, with a total federal investment of over $1.7 billion, and Public Transit infrastructure, with a total federal investment of close to $1.5 billion.

In 2016-17, the Department continued to monitor and deliver the program with provincial and territorial partners and Transport Canada.

Infrastructure Canada has largely met its targets under the program and intends to continue the monitoring and due diligence of ongoing projects to ensure their completion as part of the closeout activities of the program.

Actual Spending in 2016-17 was lower than originally projected, given that CSIF projects are large-scale and complex in nature, many unknowns may arise during the course of the fiscal year. These factors include project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction-related complexities that also cause construction delays, which explain deviations of actual expenditures from the original forecast.

It is also important to note that actual disbursement of federal contributions lag behind the actual construction of projects as recipients are reimbursed for expenditures only once they submit claims.

The CSIF program was extended in 2011-12, to allow recipients that have encountered construction delays to access the remainder of their federal contribution in order to complete their projects as expected.

An internal audit of the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund program was completed in March 2013.

A joint evaluation of the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund and the Border Infrastructure Fund was completed in July 2014.

An evaluation to assess the impact of the department's programs on the largest cities in Canada, including CSIF, is scheduled for completion in 2019-20.

All funding available for projects under this program has been committed. The Department continues to work with recipients to flow funding, including final payments and ensure that projects are closed.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program provides funding for investments in physical infrastructure, transportation system infrastructure and improved analytical capacity at the largest surface border crossings between Canada and the United States, as well as several other crossing points in Canada. Announced in Budget 2001, the fund provides up to 50 percent federal funding to support eligible projects at Canada's border crossings. Transport Canada is the federal delivery partner for this program.

Since the program began in 2003-04, a total of 12 projects with a federal contribution of $591 million and total value of $1.35 billion have been approved under the program. 2 projects with a federal contribution of $208 Million and total value of $423 million are still underway.

In 2016-17, the Department continued to monitor and deliver the program with Transport Canada for the Border Infrastructure Fund.

Infrastructure Canada has largely met its targets to contribute to quality, cost-effective public infrastructure in support of a competitive economy through investments in physical and intelligent transportation system infrastructure to reduce border bottlenecks and expand or improve border/system capacity. Infrastructure Canada intends to continue to work with Transport Canada in the monitoring and due diligence of ongoing projects to ensure their completion as part of the closeout activities of the program.

Transportation projects funded under the BIF are large and complex by nature which makes them at higher risk of experiencing unexpected delays during their implementation as was the case in previous years. Projects faced delays for various reasons including technical and other construction-related complexities. Those factors lead to delays in the disbursement of federal contributions since recipients are reimbursed after they have incurred their expenditures and submitted their claims.

No Internal Audit has been conducted of this program.

A joint evaluation of the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund and the Border Infrastructure Fund was completed in July 2014.

All funding available for projects under this program has been committed. The Department continues to work with recipients to flow funding, including final payments and ensure that projects are closed.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.2: Permanent and Flexible Infrastructure Funding

This program provides municipalities with predictable long-term funding, enabling construction and rehabilitation of core public infrastructure. The federal government concluded Gas Tax Fund Agreements with provinces, territories, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the City of Toronto, which were in effect from 2005-06 to 2013-14. Moreover, all Gas Tax Fund Agreements have been renewed and signed for the permanent Gas Tax Fund, starting in 2014-15. Gas Tax Fund Agreements and funding letters establish an accountability framework allowing the Government of Canada to flow Gas Tax Fund money twice a year to signatories which, in turn, flow funds to municipalities based on an agreed-upon allocation formula. For their part, municipalities decide which projects to prioritize within established investment categories. In addition to supporting environmental objectives, the permanent Gas Tax Fund supports increased productivity and economic growth and strong cities and communities via an expanded list of eligible investment categories. Municipalities can pool, bank and borrow against this funding, providing significant additional financial flexibility. Eligible recipients are required to report annually on their use of funds and their compliance to terms and conditions of the Gas Tax Fund Agreements.

The renewed Gas Tax Fund is now indexed at 2 percent per year which will provide municipalities with additional funding over the long term. It also provides municipalities with greater flexibility to spend federal funding as a result of expanded investment categories.

During 2016-17, about $2.1 billion flowed to municipalities across the country through the Gas Tax Fund. This amount includes a transfer of about $30 million from older federal infrastructure programs in accordance with Budget 2016. The most commonly funded project category was local roads, followed by drinking water and wastewater projects.^{Footnote 10}

In response to the 2016 Spring Report for the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Infrastructure Canada provides Gas Tax Fund signatories with updated reporting guidelines for reporting on results, and successfully hosted an intergovernmental Gas Tax Fund workshop focused on reporting on outcomes and asset management best practices. The first outcomes report is expected in 2016.

The Gas Tax Fund is a source of predictable federal funding for municipalities and as such, Infrastructure Canada and its partners work together to ensure that payments are made on schedule. Funding letters issued to signatories are dependent on the submission and acceptance of an Annual Report (Financial Report Table, Project List) and an Independent Audit Opinion or Audit Based Attestation. In the absence of duly completed reports, Infrastructure Canada can withhold funding letters from recipients until such time that completed reports are accepted. In 2016-17, all jurisdictions received their payments, totalling about $2.07 billion. In addition, they received a total of about $30 million in additional funding that was transferred from uncommitted funds from older federal infrastructure programs in accordance with Budget 2016.

No Internal Audit has been conducted of this program.

An evaluation of the Gas Tax Fund was completed in August 2015.

GTF will be considered as part of evaluations of the impacts of infrastructure funding in small communities and for largest cities in Canada (both planned for completion in FY 2019-20).

The next GTF evaluation is also scheduled for completion in FY 2020-21.

INFC held a Gas Tax Fund (GTF) Workshop in early 2017 with provincial, territorial and municipal counterparts to support the program's objectives of strengthening ongoing collaborations with partners through information sharing and discussions on various components of the agreements.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.1: Funding for Provincial-Territorial Priorities

This program provides base funding to each province and territory for core infrastructure priorities. In addition, funding under the Building Canada Fund for the three territories is managed under this fund. The Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund was designed to help restore fiscal balance while enhancing Canada's public infrastructure system. It also supports economic growth and productivity, and promotes a cleaner environment and prosperous communities. While payments are made to provinces and territories, ultimate recipients can also include local and regional governments or private sector bodies. In order for federal funding to flow, provinces and territories submit a list of infrastructure initiatives through a capital plan which must be accepted by the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. Payments are made in advance and cost-sharing provisions apply to a capital plan as a whole, and not individual initiatives. Provinces and territories may pool, bank, or cash-manage these funds to give them flexibility in implementation.

Following the acceleration of the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund, all funds available under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund ($2.3 billion) had been committed as of March 31, 2014.

Under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund program parameters, the overall federal contribution to a provincial capital plan, which lists proposed eligible projects, can be up to a maximum of 50% of the capital plan's total eligible costs. In the territories, the federal contribution to a capital plan can be a maximum of 75%. Actual results show that provinces and territories have contributed well beyond the program's cost sharing requirements.

Infrastructure Canada continues to work with provincial and territorial governments to ensure that the required annual expenditure and audit reports are submitted, and the Department provides guidance on any issues that may arise during the provincial or territorial audit that would potentially delay their report submissions and related payments. By March 31, 2017, five of thirteen jurisdictions have completed all reporting obligations and have received their final payments under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund, and the program is fully closed for three of these jurisdictions. The funding agreements for the remaining jurisdictions have been extended to allow for the completion of all initiatives and reporting requirements, as well as the reconciliation of cost sharing requirements against final initiative costs. These extended funding agreements are expected to close out over the next two years.

Under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund, the Government of Canada's flow of funding to the provinces and territories is subject to the submission and federal acceptance of Capital Plans and/or Expenditure Reports. As reporting is cumulative, any delay in the submission of a given report will result in delays to subsequent reports, and related payments. In addition, the final expenditure and audit report must demonstrate that all Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund initiatives in a jurisdiction have been completed. Due to delays in completing a small number of initiatives, this requirement was not met by the end of 2016-17 in several provinces and territories, thus delaying the submission of final expenditure and audit reporting and resulting in extensions to funding agreements and the re-profiling of funds for these remaining jurisdictions. As noted above, only five jurisdictions have completed all reporting obligations and received final payments, but two of these are completing capital plan amendment requests to ensure that federal cost sharing is reconciled with final initiative costs before they fully close the program.

An internal audit of the PT Base Fund was completed in June 2011.

An evaluation of the PT Base Fund was completed in 2012-13.

PT Base Fund will be considered as part of evaluations of the impacts of infrastructure funding in small communities and for largest cities in Canada (both planned for completion in FY 2019-20).

The Department continues to work with jurisdictions to flow funding, including final payments, under the PT-Base Fund.

Program 1.5: Infrastructure Investments in Small Communities and Rural Areas

This program supports infrastructure needs of smaller communities with populations of less than 100,000. Projects costs are shared with provincial, territorial and municipal governments, with each order of government generally contributing one-third of the eligible costs. The fund supports the construction, renewal, and enhancement of basic infrastructure such as potable water, wastewater treatment, local roads, and other infrastructure needs of small communities.^{Footnote 17}

In most jurisdictions, the BCF-CC project approval deadline was March 31, 2014 and the construction completion deadline March 31, 2016. The deadline continues until 2020 for the Province of Quebec.

In 2016-17, Infrastructure Canada and its federal delivery partners made progress as follows:

• 42 projects with a federal contribution of $47 million and a total value of $150 million were completed; and
• 24 projects with a federal contribution of $51 million and a total value of $146 million are still underway.

Since the program began in 2008-09, a total of 954 projects with a federal contribution of $1.01 billion and total value of $3.14 billion have been approved under the program. By March 31, 2017, 902 projects were completed which represents about 95 percent of approved projects.

The largest categories of investment under the program are the following: Wastewater infrastructure with a total federal investment of over $344 million, and Drinking Water infrastructure, with a total federal investment of close to $263 million.

The Department continues to work with its Federal Delivery Partners and provincial partners to monitor the status and eventual close of all outstanding projects. In order to support a timely and efficient program closure process, increased focus has been placed on monitoring the status of ongoing BCF-CC projects.

Service level agreements with Federal Delivery Partners ended on March 31, 2016. As such, there was increased focus on completing projects and other program closure procedures, including reconciling financial records.

No Internal Audit has been conducted of this program.

An evaluation of the Building Canada Fund-Communities Component was completed in August 2015.

An evaluation of the impact of infrastructure funding in small communities, which will include BCF-CC, is planned for completion in FY 2019-20.

Program 1.4: Large-Scale Infrastructure Investments

This program targets larger infrastructure projects of national or regional significance. It increases overall investment in public infrastructure and contributes to broad federal objectives: economic growth, a cleaner environment and strong and prosperous communities. At least two-thirds of the funding is targeted to national priorities: water, wastewater, public transit, the core national highway system, and green energy. The Major Infrastructure Component has 12 eligible categories of investment, and priority projects are identified through discussions with provinces. By providing federal funding on a cost-shared basis, it leverages additional contributions from other partners to increase overall investment in infrastructure. Projects must be supported by a business case and undergo a federal review against key program criteria.^{Footnote 21}

In 2016-17, Infrastructure Canada and its federal delivery partners made progress in the implementation of the Building Canada Fund-Major Infrastructure Component.

A total of 197 projects with a federal contribution of $6.6 billion and total value of $19.7 billion have been approved under the program. By March 31, 2017, 138 projects were completed. For example, during the reporting period, the Royal Alberta Museum, which received $112,500,000 in federal contributions, held a construction completion event. The museum scheduled to open in March 2018.

The largest categories of investment under the program are the following: Public Transit infrastructure, with a total federal investment of nearly $2.95 billion, and Highways and Roads infrastructure, with a total federal investment of nearly $1.92 Billion.

Program delivery policies and tools have been implemented to improve monitoring and reporting on the progress of the BCF-MIC. Monitoring of expenditures and forecasts has improved forecasting of expenditures under the program, which poses challenges due to the large scope of project investments and uncertainties around construction conditions.

This program provides significant funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of upfront planning, design and procurement. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. As a result, there is often a period of time that will pass between project announcements and the start of construction. Even when construction has started, a number of factors beyond the control of funding recipients can result in lower spending than forecasted, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that actual spending lags behind the actual rate of construction of projects since recipients are reimbursed only once claims are submitted, even though eligible costs may have already been incurred.

No audit has been conducted of this program.

An evaluation to assess the impact of the department's programs on the largest cities in Canada, including BCF-MIC, is scheduled for completion in FY 2019-20.

Although most funding has been committed, Infrastructure Canada worked with provinces to identify priorities for remaining funding. The Department also continued to work with recipients to flow funding, including final payments, and ensure that projects are closed.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program supports environmental infrastructure projects that promote cleaner air, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and cleaner water. Targeted investments in green infrastructure can contribute to improving the quality of the environment and a more sustainable economy over the longer term. There are five eligible categories of investment: wastewater infrastructure, green energy generation infrastructure, green energy transmission infrastructure, solid waste infrastructure, and carbon transmission and storage infrastructure. By providing up to 50 percent federal funding on a cost-shared basis, the fund leverages additional investments from other partners.^{Footnote 25}

In 2016-17, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the Green Infrastructure Fund:

• 3 additional projects with a federal contribution of $96 million began construction; and
• 10 projects with a federal contribution of $269  million and a total value of $737 million are still underway.

Since the program began in 2008-09, a total of 21 projects with a federal contribution of $744 million and total value of $2.39 billion have been approved under the program. 5 projects have already been completed.

The largest categories of investment under the program are the following: Wastewater infrastructure, with a total federal investment of $295 million, and Green Energy infrastructure, with a total federal investment of $270 million.

The implementation of the Green Infrastructure Fund has been slower than other programs. This is attributable to the nature of projects funded under this program which are innovative and often rely on newly developed technologies. Infrastructure Canada has met its targets under the program and will continue to oversee the implementation of project-specific agreements of the Green Infrastructure Fund, ensuring that the terms of agreements are respected and that claims for payment are processed efficiently.

This program provides significant funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of planning, design and procurement. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. Once contribution agreements for projects are signed with project proponents, the Government of Canada has a legal obligation to provide the committed funding in accordance with the terms of those agreements.

Actual spending in 2016-17 was higher than planned due to the advancements in certain projects. For example, payments were made for an energy-related project that was not originally forecasted for this fiscal year.

No Internal Audit has been conducted of this program.

An evaluation of the Green Infrastructure Fund was completed in June 2016.

An evaluation of the impacts of infrastructure funding in small communities, which will include Green Infrastructure Fund, is planned for completion in 2019-20.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

The objective of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Program is to construct a 137 kilometre all-season road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. This includes upgrading a 19 kilometre access road to highway standards, as well as new embankment construction and related structures with final surface topping and additional work to return the land to its original state.

The highway is on track to open to the public in November 2017. To date there is 120km of completed embankment along with 8 bridges and 340 culverts.

This work was completed with 74% of the workforce from the Inuvik region or other Northwest Territories communities. The project has provided 185 people with training or experience in a variety of areas, such as heavy equipment operation.

Given positive work performance and project progress, adjustments were made to the terms and conditions for the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Program, which enabled Infrastructure Canada to pay a significant amount more than what was originally planned for 2016-17.

An internal audit of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Control Framework was completed in January 2015.

A combined audit and evaluation of the impacts of infrastructure in the North, which will include the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Program, is planned for completion in FY 2018-19.

Program 1.4: Large-Scale Infrastructure Investments

This program provides funding to support infrastructure projects of national and regional significance that contribute to economic growth, a clean environment and stronger communities. The PTIC-NRP is an allocation-based program that recognizes and supports the important role that provinces, territories, and municipalities play in helping to build Canada's public infrastructure.

In 2016-17, Infrastructure Canada and its partners made progress in the implementation of the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component-National and Regional Projects:

• 100 additional projects with a federal contribution of $3.5 billion and a total value of $7.8 billion were approved.

Since the program began in 2014-15, a total of 143 projects with a federal contribution of $4.4 billion. 6 projects have already been completed.

The largest categories of investment under the program are the following: Public Transit infrastructure, with a total federal investment of nearly $2.1 billion, and Highways and Roads infrastructure, with a total federal investment of nearly $1.4 billion.

This program provides significant funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of upfront planning, design and procurement. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. As a result, there is often a period of time that will pass between project announcements and the start of construction. Even when construction has started, a number of factors beyond the control of funding recipients can result in lower spending than forecasted. These factors include project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction- related complexities that also cause construction delays, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that actual spending lags behind the actual rate of construction of projects since recipients are reimbursed only once claims are submitted, even though eligible costs may have already been incurred.

In addition, the 2016-17 Total Authorities Available for Use under this program increased as additional funding was obtained through 2016-17 Supplementary Estimates for two projects.

An internal audit of the New Building Canada Fund – Management Control Framework was completed in October 2015.

An Internal Audit of the New Building Canada Fund is scheduled for completion in FY 2018-19.

Program 1.5: Infrastructure Investments in Smaller Communities and Rural Areas

The PTIC-SCF represents 10 percent (10%) of the overall Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component funding envelope, and makes $964,240,000 in contribution funding available to provinces and territories for local infrastructure. This Sub-Program provides contribution funding for infrastructure projects in small communities with populations of 100,000 or less. Infrastructure Canada enters into funding agreements with provinces and territories for the implementation of the PTIC-SCF. In turn, the provinces and territories administer the project identification process in keeping with SCF program parameters. The PTIC-SCF is designed to leverage the resources and existing processes of provinces and territories in managing local projects, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope.

In 2016-17, Infrastructure Canada and its partners made progress in the implementation of the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component-Small Communities Fund:

• 69 projects with a federal contribution of $31.6 million and a total value of $85 million were completed;
• 193 additional projects with a federal contribution of $219 million and a total value of $631 million began construction; and
• 194 projects with a federal contribution of $289 million and a total value of $891 million are still underway.

Since the program began in 2014-15, a total of 562 projects with a federal contribution of $1.06 billion and total value of $2.8 billion have been approved under the program. A total of 77 projects have already been completed which represents 14 percent of approved projects.

The largest categories of investment under the program are the following: Wastewater infrastructure, with a total federal investment of nearly $215 million, and Highways and Roads infrastructure, with a total federal investment of over $195 million.

Provinces and territories were informed that they must prioritize their PTIC-SCF funding for eligible projects by March 31, 2018 and that all funds which are not formally prioritized by that date will be transferred to the Gas Tax Fund for use in the respective province or territory.

Furthermore, a total of $591,755,302 was transferred into the PTIC-SCF from the PTIC-NRP, thereby increasing the total federal share committed for this program.

An internal audit of the New Building Canada Fund – Management Control Framework was completed in October 2015.

An Internal Audit of the New Building Canada Fund is scheduled for completion in FY 2018-19.

An evaluation of the New Building Canada Fund, including PTIC-SCF, is planned for completion in FY 2017-18.

A combined audit and evaluation of the impacts of infrastructure in the North, which will include PTIC-SCF, is planned for completion in FY 2018-19.

Public Infrastructure for a More Prosperous Canada

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program supports projects of national significance, that have broad public benefits, and that contribute to Canada's long-term economic growth and prosperity. The NBCF-NIC is a merit-based application-driven program, and as such there are no pre-determined provincial or territorial allocations.

In 2016-2017, Infrastructure Canada and its partners made progress as follows:

• 6 projects with a federal contribution of $1.34 billion and a total almost of $3.75 billion were approved.

In general, the largest categories of investment under the program are the following: Highways and Roads infrastructure, with a total federal investment of just over $1.3 billion, and Marine infrastructure, with a total federal investment of nearly $112 million.

This program provides funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of upfront planning, and design. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. As a result, there is often a period of time that will pass between project announcements and the start of construction.

Actual spending in 2016-17 was greater than planned due to advancements in two projects.

An internal audit of the New Building Canada Fund – Management Control Framework was completed in October 2015.

An Internal Audit of the New Building Canada Fund is scheduled for completion in FY 2018-19.

An evaluation of the New Building Canada Fund, including NBCF-NIC, is planned for completion in FY 2017-18.

NBCF-NIC will also be considered as part of the combined audit and evaluation of the impacts of infrastructure in the North scheduled for completion in FY 2018-19.

Infrastructure Canada is no longer accepting applications under the NBCF-NIC.

The Government is currently engaging provinces, territories, municipal and Indigenous leaders, as well as global institutional investors and other stakeholders to identify the right mix of infrastructure funding programs to meet Canadians' needs and to position Canada's economy for the future.

Program 1.3: Investments in National Infrastructure Priorities

This program provides short-term funding of $3.4 billion to shorten commute times, cut air pollution, strengthen communities and grow Canada's economy. Infrastructure Canada enters into contribution agreements with all provinces and territories for the delivery of PTIF. In turn, provinces and territories enter into agreements with eligible ultimate recipients to manage projects. As this is a cost-share program, federal funding from all sources can be up to 50% in provinces and 75% in territories of total eligible costs per project. All eligible projects are approved for PTIF funding by Infrastructure Canada and provinces and territories are required to report on progress at least on a semi-annual basis. The PTIF is designed to leverage funding through project partners to accelerate investments in public transit, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope.

All funding agreements with provinces and territories under PTIF have been signed by the applicable provinces and territories.

During 2016-17, a total of 738 projects with a federal contribution of $1.57 billion and total value of $3.16 billion have been approved under the program, accounting for 46% of overall program funding.

By March 31, 2017, construction had begun on 86 projects with a federal contribution of $447 million and a total value of $894 million.

Funding agreements with Provinces and Territories were signed between June and September 2016. An agreement was not signed with Nunavut as it does not have a public transit system. Moreover, as of March 31, 2017, Provinces and Territories continued to submit project lists to account for their full allocation.

As per the terms and conditions of the PTIF program, Infrastructure Canada reimburses eligible costs incurred within pre-defined cost sharing and stacking limits, following project approval. As such, actual spending was less than the total authorities available since few projects began incurring costs in 2016-17.

Internal Audit of PTIF & CWWF - Approval Phase was undertaken and approved in December 2016.

Internal Audit of PTIF & CWWF - Governance Phase was undertaken in FY 2016-17, approval will occur in FY 2017-18.

New Champlain Bridge Corridor Project

The existing Champlain Bridge is one of the busiest bridges in Canada with traffic estimated at over 40 million vehicles per year. It is a major Canada-United States trade corridor, handling $20 billion of international trade and 11 million transit commuters per year.

The New Champlain Bridge Corridor (NCBC) Project addresses the need to replace the Champlain Bridge and the temporary causeway (which was built as a temporary replacement to the Île-des-Soeurs Bridge), both having reached the end of their useful lives. The Project also offers an efficient solution to the movement of goods and people by widening the federally owned A15 Highway to a six-lane capacity. The NCBC project continues to be successfully implemented as a Public Private Partnership (P3) procurement model.

• Maintain the Safety and Efficiency of the Corridor;
• Foster Sustainable Development and Urban Integration within the Montreal area;
• Improving the flow of people and goods in the Montreal area;
• Improving the safety of users through modern design aspects;
• Designing bridges to connect Montreal with Île-des-Soeurs and the south shore with 125 year life expectancies.

Replacing the existing infrastructures, as well as widening the A15 Highway will mitigate any risk of disrupting the trade corridor and will improve the flow of traffic.

The project provides significant opportunities for local business to participate, notably in construction related aspect of the project's implementation.

The NCBC Project will provide lasting economic benefits to the municipalities on each side of the river and more broadly to the region as a whole.

The Investing in Canada Plan is the Government of Canada's national strategy to address Canada's aging infrastructure and rebuild the nation for the 21^st Century. Through the Investing in Canada plan, the Government of Canada is making historic new investments in infrastructure - more than doubling existing funding - to provide communities across the country with the tools they need to prosper and innovate. To do this, the federal government is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in five main infrastructure priorities:

• public transit infrastructure
• green infrastructure
• social infrastructure
• trade and transportation infrastructure
• rural and northern communities infrastructure

These investments will create long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable communities and support a low carbon, green economy.

The initial phase of the plan, announced in Budget 2016, focuses on laying a foundation in the short term by accelerating existing federal infrastructure investments and providing $11.9 billion in additional funding for the rehabilitation, repair, and modernization of existing infrastructure.

Budget 2017 builds on this foundation with $81.2 billion in new funding, to be delivered over 11 years starting in 2017-18.

The Government of Canada is working closely with partners and stakeholders to deliver this ambitious plan that will make a real difference to Canadians and their communities.

There is no horizontal evaluation planned.

Improve the resilience of communities and transition to a clean growth economy

Investments will build more modern and sustainable communities; support Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction; ensure infrastructure can withstand the impacts of climate change and extreme weather; reduce water, air and soil pollution; and ensure public infrastructure performs well and is in a state of good repair.
