Construction for Canadians: Built by us, for you
The Canadian Construction Association has launched the Construction for Canadians campaign, supported by 57 national, provincial, and regional construction associations from coast to coast, to put infrastructure investment at the centre of the federal election.
“We know that investing in infrastructure puts people to work immediately, in well paying jobs that return revenue to government treasuries quickly,” MHCA President & CEO Chris Lorenc said. “Infrastructure investment has one of the highest, verified returns to the GDP, same year and for years to come.”
The MHCA represents the heavy construction members, who are also members of the CCA.
Construction affects every Canadian. It shapes Canada’s physical landscape, grows our economy, connects communities, and plays a critical role in building a prosperous and resilient country. But underinvestment, workforce challenges, and outdated policies, combined with Donald Trump’s threats and tariffs, are barriers to the growth Canadians need. To set Canada up for success, the next federal government must commit to supporting construction.
“Especially given the trade wars and impact of tariffs, investing in Canadian infrastructure is an investment in the national economy,” Lorenc said.
Canada’s economy runs on construction. With over 1.6 million workers and $151 billion in economic impact, this industry is the foundation of our future. Learn more about Construction for Canadians at construction4cdns.ca.
