In addition to the new funding announced in Budget 2016, the Government will
support the infrastructure priorities of communities across Canada. The
Government will:
• Continue to make available approximately $3 billion each year in dedicated
funding for municipal infrastructure projects through the Gas Tax Fund
and the incremental Goods and Services Tax Rebate for Municipalities;
• Work with provincial, territorial and municipal partners to get projects
underway, by accelerating spending from the $9 billion available under the
New Building Canada Fund’s Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure
Component and other existing infrastructure programs;
• Transfer remaining uncommitted funds from older federal infrastructure
programs to municipalities through the Gas Tax Fund in 2016–17 in order
to ensure funds are directed towards municipal infrastructure priorities in
