A coalition of construction sector associations have allied to urge the federal and provincial governments to deliver on infrastructure investments.<\/p>\n

The newly formed Building for Recovery coalition includes Associated Equipment Distributors (AED), the Canadian Construction Association (CCA), Association of Consulting Engineering Companies \u2013 Canada (ACEC \u2013 Canada), and the National Trade Contractors Council of Canada (NTCCC).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction sector is ready to rebuild Canada\u2019s economy but all levels of government must deliver on infrastructure investments now to get projects started,\u201d stated Brian McGuire, AED\u2019s President and CEO.<\/p>\n

A coalition of construction sector associations have allied to urge the federal and provincial governments to deliver on infrastructure investments.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Building for Recovery coalition was developed to encourage individuals working in and supportive of the construction sector to send a letter to their local representative at both the federal and provincial levels, asking for support to deliver infrastructure investments to help rebuild the Canadian economy in the wake of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite billions of dollars of existing infrastructure commitments, these investments have been slow to roll out. Infrastructure Canada\u2019s website shows that of the nearly 17,000 approved projects, fewer than 900 have received funding,\u201d said John Gamble, President and CEO of ACEC \u2013 Canada.<\/p>\n

While rebuilding Canada\u2019s economy from the pandemic’s impacts will require a comprehensive stimulus plan, investing in infrastructure has a proven return on investment. The Public Policy Forum has found that for every dollar invested in public infrastructure, governments can expect to see a return of two to four dollars.<\/p>\n

The newly formed Building for Recovery coalition includes Associated Equipment Distributors (AED). Established in 1919, AED is an international trade association based in Schaumburg, IL, representing over 700 construction equipment distributors, manufacturers and industry service firms nationwide.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cHistory shows that investments in infrastructure are not only the best way to stimulate the economy, but they also create immediate employment opportunities and improve the economic and environmental quality of life for all Canadians,\u201d said Sandra Skivsky, Chair of the NTCCC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith federal and provincial governments working in collaboration with Canada\u2019s construction sector, we can ensure that we build back a stronger, more resilient country from the pandemic,\u201d continued Mary Van Buren, President of CCA. \u201cThe time is now to deliver on billions of dollars of investments so we that can start to rebuild our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
