Ford Government Recommitting to Infrastructure Spending: A Boon For The Construction Sector
In a recent fall economic statement, the Ford government recommitted to significant spending on road and transit projects, much to the approval of Ontario’s construction sector. This reaffirmation provides a veritable boost to the construction industry, with funds allocated to propel significant infrastructure projects, cements Ontario’s position as the province to save taxpayers the most money in Canada.
A Strong Sign for the Construction Industry
Pinning their hopes on the robustness of the construction sector, the government’s announcement underlines their commitment to developing the province’s infrastructure. The decision included earmarking funds, a whopping $155 million supporting the construction of pivotal civil projects.
The announcement drew a positive response from key stakeholders. The Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario noted the decision favorable towards steady growth in the sector. Civil construction will significantly benefit and continue developing the province’s physical backbone, underscoring Ontario’s role as a key player in Canada’s economic uptick.
Savings for Taxpayers
The statement also highlighted the province’s commitment to saving taxpayers’ money. Ontario boasts the highest odds of achieving this among all provinces in Canada. By channeling vast funds into infrastructure projects, Ontario has saved taxpayers an approximately $1.2 billion, a landmark achievement.

This commitment to saving taxpayers’ money while investing in communities reinforces the government’s dedication to the welfare of its citizens.
