Question Period
Infrastructure funding
para547
Thank you to the member from the great riding of Mississauga–Erin Mills for his question. Let me say to the member, Ontario recognizes the flexibility that the COVID-19 resilience stream will have to provide for communities and organizations across this great province. While Ontario would have liked to have seen new funding from the federal government, we do appreciate the flexibility to re-allocate funding to address critical issues relating to this pandemic. These issues can be addressed with investments in specific types of infrastructure projects that were previously not within the scope of the ICIP program. Ontario is committed to delivering on the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, and we are committed to investing in infrastructure projects which will protect the health and well-being of Ontarians, including investments in long-term care as well as education projects. We’re making it possible for communities right across this great province to get shovel-ready projects under way sooner and help kick-start their local economies.
