4. Building Permits – July 2019
“Total spending in the Liberal infrastructure program reached
$25.6 billion over the last three years, according to a new report
which suggests signs of progress on a signature government
ambition that has been hampered by an inability to get money
out the door.”Source -

The value of building permits issued by
Canadian municipalities rose 3.0% to
$8.3 billion in July, largely due to increases
in multi-family and commercial permits.
Gains were reported in five provinces, with
over one-third of the national increase in
British Columbia. Quebec reported the
largest decrease, down 4.0% to $1.6 billion
due to lower construction intentions in all
components of the non-residential sector.
The largest gain was in commercial
permits, which rose 6.7% to $2.0 billion,
offsetting three consecutive months of
declines. The increase was largely
attributable to high-value permits for office
buildings in the census metropolitan area
of Vancouver.
Six provinces reported declines in the value
of industrial permits, down 6.9% to
$558 million.

The federal government is looking at partnerships through the Investing In Canada Lens. In the 2016 Fall Economic Statement and Budget
2017, the government gave its long-term vision for its infrastructure plan and committed to invest an additional $81 billion through to 2027-
2028 in public transit; green infrastructure; social infrastructure; trade and transportation infrastructure; and rural and northern communities;
and introduced the Smart Cities Challenge.
Of that money, $33 billion in funding will be delivered through Integrated Bilateral Agreements between the federal government, and each of
the provinces and territories. And of that $33 billion, $9.2 billion will go towards green infrastructure projects.

• “As for sustainable infrastructure, there was already a Canadian Infrastructure Bank but why stop there? More bureaucratic institutions
needed to be set up. Private capital needed to be “crowded in.” Meanwhile “Cleantech” was a “massive cross cutting opportunity.”
Just forget Germany’s disastrous Energiewende, or Ontario’s Green Energy Act, or a thousand other climate policy snafus. What was
needed were more green banks, more green bonds and more green procurement.” -

investment/1003961052/
The institution, which was designed to finance Canadian infrastructure that may otherwise not be built, has
been allotted $35 billion in federal funds over the next decade to help bridge the gap between public and
private infrastructure.
Pierre Lavallée, the CIB’s president and CEO, disclosed the engagement process for the 10 potential projects
in a keynote address at the annual conference of the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships in
Toronto Nov. 6.
“We’ve jumped into our investment mandate with both feet,” he said, adding that the bank has also held
discussions on 45 other projects, some of which may also move onto the active engagement phase in the
future.

19. VIA Rail and High Speed Rail
https://toronto.citynews.ca/2019/06/07/documents-show-federal-push-for-infrastructure-bank-to-back-via-project/
The rail company wants to build a multibillion-dollar new network of dedicated passenger-rail lines in Ontario and Quebec, so its trains
would no longer have to yield to freight trains on borrowed tracks
Facts:
VIA rail already gets a sizable grant from the government - https://media.viarail.ca/en/publications (2017 In 2017 the total grants
(operational and capital funding) were approximately $354M
High speed rail has to be viable - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/high-speed-rail-1.4915058 - There are other options to fund rail
High speed works in Asia to how the population is distributed – http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1149608.shtml
High speed rail has been a failure in EU - https://www.ft.com/content/e77dc48e-7894-11e8-8e67-1e1a0846c475 or
https://www.euractiv.com/section/railways/news/eus-high-speed-rail-plan-is-ineffective-unrealistic-say-auditors/
There are financing issues - https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-trends/Catalyst-or-catastrophe-Lessons-from-Asia-s-high-speed-rail-
failures
Summary
The liberals never seem to do proper business cases as such throw money at winning votes and not whether a project is either profitable or
viable without direct government subsidies.

Trudeau came to power as such said he would
focus on infrastructure. So, why are transit
system construction so slow? Oops, Trudeau
hates Ford, right?

Trudeau is great at deflecting his failure,
because he owns the media. The reality is so
call big dig for Trudeau never happen!

@kenthehr can please provide your calculation link? I like to test out your numbers
1. How come there is no funding of the gas tax from Apr to May?
2. FCM has said there are issues with funding, but you say nothing, why?

23. What’s next
Liberals need to get the money out the door. There has been delays -
http://cutaactu.ca/en/news-media/latest-news/liberals-infrastructure-program-problems-

Liberals are not getting pension fund takers for transit, roads and bridges -
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/06/01/quebec-pension-fund-seeks-higher-
returns-by-taking-on-transit-project.html
Liberals are doing little get goods out of the ground and to market. C69 needs to be killed
Canada needs to be more competitive with all its policies, i.e. taxation, regulatory
environment, etc. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/business-competitivesness-
canada-march-2019
The next government needs to streamline the process to get infrastructure dollars out the
door.
