Canadians count on local governments for good roads and bridges, efficient public transit, reliable water and waste systems, quality recreational facilities and so much more. In fact, municipalities build and maintain 60 percent of the core public infrastructure that supports our economy and quality of life.

We have a track record of securing federal tools that help municipalities succeed with their infrastructure. These include predictable Gas Tax Fund support for core infrastructure, and since 2015 we've fostered unprecedented, long-term investments in transit, social, rural and green infrastructure. Our programs are another way we help municipalities increase their ability to make every infrastructure dollar go further.

Municipalities are also creating local solutions to infrastructure challenges across the country. These range from economic growth to public safety and climate change. We advocate for modern fiscal tools that help them build tomorrow’s Canada: one that's livable, inclusive and sustainable.
