Canada's construction news
COURTESY OF ACEC-CANADA — Members of the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada recently met with politicians from all parties in Ottawa during Parliament Hill Day. Members discussed issues impacting the sector including the need for infrastructure investment and the need to move forward on a national infrastructure assessment.
“We’ve got something for the future to guide public policy,” said John Gamble, president and CEO of the association. The main priorities of the national infrastructure assessment are assessing Canada’s infrastructure needs and establishing a long-term vision; improving co-ordination amo-ng infrastructure owners and funders; and determining the best ways to fund and finance infrastructure.
“We still have an infrastructure deficit. We still have immediate needs. Whether it’s to meet climate resiliency or just needing the day-to-day wear and tear on existing infrastructure, we need the next program launched. That was really our message. “A community’s or even a region’s infrastructure assets are an ecosystem onto themselves. It’s not for the faint of heart when you are applying for one project and hoping there is money in the program to apply for support for your next project when these things all have to work together.”
