Canada Must
Invest in Growth
Our economic independence and quality of life depend on infrastructure. The next federal government must invest more in Canada's infrastructure to grow our economy, enhance our trading networks, and improve the quality of life for all Canadians.
The skills and talent are right here!
Every road you drive on. Every bridge you cross. Every drop of clean water from your tap. These everyday essentials rely on consulting engineering companies. They employ over 60,000 Canadians that provide expert engineering and other professional services to governments and businesses. Their work impacts the quality of life for all Canadians, every single day.
This election, consider how the choices our leaders make will shape Canada's future for decades to come. Infrastructure goes beyond construction. It builds strong communities, boosts the economy, and secures our future in a changing world.
The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies–Canada knows how we can seize the moment to become an economic powerhouse, with better outcomes for all Canadians.

The Infrastructure Challenge
Across our country, communities large and small face critical infrastructure needs:
Old roads and bridges slow commerce and daily commutes.
Outdated water systems leave many communities without clean drinking water.
Aging energy grids are vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather.
Gaps in digital connectivity limit opportunities and growth.
Insufficient market access for critical minerals and natural resources is hurting our economy.
Every day that we delay action, the costs grow higher and opportunities slip away.
The Economic Opportunity
Infrastructure investment isn't a cost, it's Canada's greatest economic opportunity.
Engineering and design services added $61 billion to our economy last year. Every dollar invested in infrastructure generates multiple returns through:
Safe, sustainable, and prosperous communities.
Economic opportunities and jobs across all sectors of our economy.
Increased productivity and competitiveness.
Enhanced trade capacity and access to global markets for Canadian businesses.
Climate resilience that protects our communities and economy.
