The Government of Canada announced last week that it would be investing approximately $10B in Québec’s infrastructure over the next 10 years. Nearly $2.7B has been allocated for the Build Communities Strong Fund’s housing and higher education envelope, which will contribute to housing, postsecondary infrastructure, and drinking water systems. These funds will be used to support the postsecondary sector by creating student residences to increase capacity of regional campuses and renovating and modernizing the province’s cégeps and universities. “By working closely with Québec, we’re strengthening communities, supporting critical infrastructure growth and sustainability, and securing a prosperous future for Québecers,” explained Federal Minister of Housing and Infrastructure Gregor Robertson.
