The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies-Canada (ACEC) has officially launched its advocacy campaign for this federal election. ACEC will be engaging with federal candidates from all the major parties and encouraging them to make infrastructure investments a priority in their election platforms.<\/p>\n

The Infrastructure: Prosperity by Design campaign includes ACEC\u2019s election website, InvestInfrastructure.ca<\/a>. The site provides information to educate candidates, political parties, and the public on the importance of leveraging infrastructure to develop a strong economic and environmental vision for Canada\u2019s recovery. As Canada moves into post-pandemic recovery, ACEC believes there is a unique opportunity to rethink Canada\u2019s vision and approach to infrastructure.<\/p>\n

This vision can be achieved in part through initiatives such as the proposed National Infrastructure Assessment, which has received broad support from stakeholders from numerous industries and across the political spectrum. Also, to address the more immediate needs as we emerge from the pandemic, accelerating existing infrastructure commitments will help Canada build back better. Decades of studies and experience demonstrate that infrastructure has the potential to contribute both to Canada\u2019s long-term prosperity while also stimulating the economy immediately during the COVID-induced economic downturn. According to ACEC, this critical focus on infrastructure would benefit the economic, social and environmental quality of life of all Canadians while driving the economy and communities towards prosperity.<\/p>\n

ACEC-Canada\u2019s InvestInfrastructure.ca includes a portal allowing ACEC members and interested stakeholders to send letters to all candidates in their riding, including incumbent Members of Parliament. The site also includes more information on ACEC, the association\u2019s election priorities, and several background documents on all parties\u2019 policy positions relating to ACEC\u2019s priorities, which will be featured as the platforms are released. ACEC will also post an analysis of party platform announcements relating to infrastructure and issues of importance to the consulting engineering sector. Finally, the site provides social media shareables that anyone can download and use to help spread awareness of the campaign.<\/p>\n

ACEC-Canada is the national voice of consulting engineering firms. ACEC members are experts in infrastructure and are directly involved in delivering Canada\u2019s $126 billion commitment to infrastructure. ACEC is a federation of 12 provincial and territorial associations representing over 400 companies of all sizes that provide engineering and other professional services to both public and private sector clients across Canada. Collectively, ACEC member firms directly employ over 60,000 Canadians. Canada is globally recognized for its engineering services and Canadian-based firms are the second largest provider of engineering services in the world.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThis election is especially important because the next Parliament will make critical decisions on how Canada will recover and prosper as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. In balancing the needs for immediate stimulus and a long-term vision for our economy and environment, investing in infrastructure has a proven return on investment that governments can rely on. We hope to see any elected government come in with an understanding of how important it is to provide infrastructure programs that are timely, consistent, and predictable with a priority placed on the rapid delivery of funding \u2013 that approach to infrastructure will design Canada\u2019s future prosperity.\u201d said John Gamble, ACEC-Canada President & CEO. \u201cIn recent years we have seen successive federal governments make historic commitments to infrastructure with significant investments. More recently, we have also seen consultations for a National Infrastructure Assessment. With the current challenges facing Canada, we must build upon these initiatives and perhaps be even more ambitious.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
