What is Ontario doing to assist municipalities with their infrastructure challenges during this global economic slowdown?
The province of Ontario has committed to investing $32.5 billion in public infrastructure over the next two years. We will improve the roads, schools, hospitals and public transit that Ontario families – and our economy – rely upon. This investment will create and support more than 300,000 jobs and make significant long-term improvements to transportation, health care, and education infrastructure. Transportation projects will receive the most funding over the next two years, at $9 billion, followed by health care at $7 billion and education at almost $4 billion.
