The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has expressed strong disapproval of Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s perceived lack of support for the country’s road infrastructure. The industry is seeking clarity from the Prime Minister following Guilbeault’s remarks that existing road networks are sufficient. This comes amid a housing crisis where the government aims to build 5.8 million new homes. The CCA emphasizes the need for new roads to support these homes and communities, pointing out that Canada’s trade infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and highways, has been under-invested in for years. This under-investment is seen as a hindrance to Canada’s economic success, especially in global trade. The CCA urges the federal government to collaborate with the industry and local governments to strengthen Canada’s infrastructure.
