“Investments through the Trade and Transportation Corridors Initiative will make a big difference for Canadian businesses,” Garneau said. “It will allow them to get better access to international markets by addressing critical bottlenecks and ensuring that Canada’s transportation networks remain cost competitive and efficient. This also means more jobs that support middle-class families everywhere across the country.”
Up to $400 million of the NTCF will be dedicated to supporting the critical movement of people and goods in Canada’s Northern territories, given that region’s unique and urgent needs.
