Ontario Builds

Building Ontario

As Canada stares down economic uncertainty, it has never been more important to get shovels in the ground and keep workers on the job. That’s why we have a plan to build and upgrade Ontario’s highways, schools, hospitals, transit and more.

Our Building Ontario plan will:

• prioritize made-in-Ontario and made-in-Canada products, including making Ontario and Canadian steel, cement, forestry and other construction materials mandatory for government-funded infrastructure projects
• create new opportunities for workers by building new road, highways, schools and hospitals
• build new highways, roads and transit across the province, relieving the costs of gridlock, connecting people to jobs, supporting the movement of goods and stimulating economic growth
• build the local infrastructure needed for new homes
• bring access to reliable high-speed internet to every community across the province
