Transit, Transportation, & Infrastructure

Infrastructure investment platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Work with provinces, territories, and Indigenous partners on a corridor for transport, energy, critical minerals, and digital connectivity

    "Develop a trade and energy corridor, along with provinces, territories, and Indigenous partners, for transport, energy, critical minerals, and digital connectivity, including through the Trade Diversification Corridor Fund;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-16

  • Set Buy Canadian standards for federal infrastructure funding, including maximising use of Canadian steel, aluminum, and forestry products
  • Invest in northern infrastructure, including a new hydroelectricity project and other energy projects, new port projects, railways, airstrips, and highways, and housing stock

    "Invest in Northern infrastructure, including a new hydroelectricity project and other energy projects, so that people have access to safe, reliable energy; improve housing stock, accelerate housing development, and meet growing housing demand. We will also invest in new port projects, railways, airstrips, and highways, all with dual-use capabilities. This work will be undertaken with Arctic and Northern Indigenous partners." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-21

  • Jointly identify projects of national interest with provinces, territories, and Indigenous peoples, and fast-track them

    "Protect our economic sovereignty by unlocking projects that grow our economy. We will work with provinces and territories and Indigenous Peoples to establish a list of nation-building projects that span provincial and territorial boundaries and deliver major economic and strategic benefits to Canadians. Long project approval timelines in Canada create significant investment uncertainty, hindering the rapid response needed to address today’s global economic shifts. We will prioritize funding and assessment resources for these projects on an expedited basis." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-21

Conservative

  • Build an all-season road from Yellowknife to Grays Bay

    "Build the Arctic Security Corridor from Yellowknife, N.W.T. to Grays Bay, Nunavut. This will include a 600 km all-season road from Yellowknife to Grays Bay and a strategic upgrade to the Port of Grays Bay." — Change, retrieved 2025-04-23

  • Support remote-area internet connectivity

    "Supporting remote-area internet connectivity so every Canadian has reliable access to news." — Change, retrieved 2025-04-23

Bloc

  • Limiter le rôle du fédéral en matière d’infrastructure à sa participation financière
  • Proposer qu’Ottawa transfère au Québec les sommes pour le développement de la couverture cellulaire
  • Proposer que les investissements fédéraux en logement soient automatiquement accompagnés de hausses de financement pour les infrastructures municipales requises

    Le Bloc proposera que les investissements fédéraux en logement soient automatiquement accompagnés de hausses de f inancement pour les infrastructures municipales requises, par exemple le traitement des eaux usées, l’électricité, etc.

  • Verser en bloc au Québec les sommes prévues pour les infrastructures

    Le Bloc Québécois a toujours recommandé le versement en bloc au Québec et sans condition des sommes prévues pour les infrastructures, une compétence exclusive du Québec. À défaut, il proposera que les sommes des programmes fédéraux, incluant en logement, soient versées dans des fiducies afin d’éviter que les sommes prévues soient ravalées dans le fonds consolidé à la suite de chicanes de conditions causées par Ottawa.

  • Exiger que le fédéral augmente sa contribution financière sans condition au programme de la Taxe sur l’essence et de la contribution du Québec (TECQ)

NDP

  • Invest $4B over 4 years to top up the Building Canada Fund
  • Offer "Canada Victory Bonds" for people to invest in the country's economy

    "And we would offer Canada Victory Bonds as an opportunity for everyday Canadians to invest in the rebuilding of our economy." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Make Community Benefits Agreements between community, labour, governments, and employers for all federally-funded infrastructure projects

    "Local communities should receive the economic benefits and jobs from low-carbon projects. Community Benefits Agreements between community, labour, governments and employers for all federally-funded infrastructure projects will ensure communities get what they need to prosper." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Create a Northern Infrastructure Fund
We don't have any Green policies on Infrastructure investment.
