Canada's New Budget Keeps Infra Spend But With Few Added Projects in Design

摘要

Canada's newly released federal budget ramps up spending on affordable housing and other "social infrastructure" over the next five years while pushing off to later years hundreds of millions in dollars for bigger-ticket transportation projects, a new budget analysis shows. The Liberal government reaffirms its 2016 commitment to spend $60 billion in new infrastructure over the next decade but adds little detail on where the money will actually go or how its widely touted infrastructure bank will participate in funding.
