Four years since Canada's government, newly led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, launched an ambitious campaign to overhaul infrastructure, from new roads and bridges to solar farms, it is still struggling to funnel federal dollars into actual projects, says a new national industry group coalition, citing official figures.
Made up of the Canadian Construction Association, Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada, the National Trade Contractors Council of Canada, and Associated Equipment Distributors, the group says its aim is not to single-out the federal government for blame, but to help identify “bottlenecks” that have prevented money flow to projects.
