Description of the horizontal initiative |
The IICP is the Government of Canada's national strategy to address Canada's aging infrastructure and rebuild the nation for the 21st Century. Through the IICP, the Government of Canada is making historic new investments in infrastructure – more than doubling existing funding – to provide communities across the country with the tools they need to prosper and innovate. To do this, the federal government is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in five main infrastructure priorities:
These investments will create long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable communities and support a low carbon, green economy. The seven expected outcomes of the IICP are:
The initial phase of the Plan, announced in Budget 2016, focused on laying a foundation in the short term by accelerating existing federal infrastructure investments and providing $14.4 billion in additional funding for the rehabilitation, repair, and modernization of existing infrastructure. Budget 2017 built on this foundation with $81.2 billion in new funding, to be delivered over 11 years, starting in 2017-18. The Government of Canada is working closely with partners and stakeholders to deliver this ambitious plan that will make a real difference to Canadians and their communities. |
Governance structures |
Governance committees are supported by INFC, as the lead department for the initiative. The Deputy Ministers' Coordinating Committee (DMCC), is chaired by the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Canada. The aim of the DMCC is to ensure interdepartmental coordination and oversight at the most senior officials level for the Investing in Canada Plan, and to support the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities to report to Cabinet and the Prime Minister. Assistant Deputy Ministers and Directors General from departments responsible for delivering programs under the plan also engage as needed to support the DMCC. The DMCC met once during the 2019-20 FY. In addition, there are working groups chaired by INFC to facilitate reporting, coordinated communications approach, and information technology. |

Performance highlights |
As the lead department responsible for the horizontal coordination of the Plan, Infrastructure Canada worked closely with 20 other federal delivery departments and agencies to guide implementation and reporting on over 85 programs that fall under it. Infrastructure Canada tracks progress through an online interactive project map, an implementation progress and funding table and a searchable project list of approved projects funded under the Plan. As of fall 2020, over $71B in federal funding had been committed to more than 65,000 projects, where over 47,000 were already underway.

As per the Infrastructure Canada Investing in Canada Plan horizontal management framework, the Canadian Centre for Climate Services initiatives will be fully reported through the Clean Growth and Climate Change Horizontal Initiative table led by Environment and Climate Change Canada. |
Launched a new climate information portal, ClimateData.ca, providing Canadians easier access to climate data and information to increase the consideration of climate change and its risks in decision-making. This is the result of a collaboration between the Computer Research Institute of Montréal, Ouranos, the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, the Prairie Climate Centre, and Habitat Seven with support from the Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS). The climate information portals supported by the Canadian Centre for Climate Services registered a number of 180,390 visits, where users accessed climate services. As part of CCCS' efforts to enhance regional climate service capacity across Canada, invested in the creation of a new Prairie climate expert network organization (to be formally launched in fall of 2020), which will deliver regionally tailored climate information, data and tools to meet the growing regional demand for climate services in support of adaptation to climate change. |

Performance Narrative
Introduction
21 federal departments and agencies are delivering their programs in order to contribute to the expected outcomes of the Investing in Canada Plan. As of fall 2020, over $71B in federal funding had been committed to more than 65,000 projects, where over 47,000 were already underway.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
For Budget 2016 and Budget 2017 programs, over $15.5 billion has been allocated to CMHC under the Investing in Canada Plan. In Fiscal Year 2019/20, over $506 million was spent. Since programs were launched, CMHC has worked with housing service providers to expand the housing stock by over 8,400 housing units, improve the building conditions of over 60,700 housing units and protected over 24,600 units where community housing agreements would have expired otherwise.
While the Federal Lands Initiative is behind target as of the end of 2019/20, much of the efforts in the first two years of program operationalization have been focused on building a pipeline of properties which have been identified for the creation of affordable housing. Currently, there is a pipeline of approximately 1,400 units which will support meeting the program targets over the longer term. The FCHI-1 is behind target as of the end of 2019/20 and this can be attributed to a lower number of housing providers enrolling in the program, as well as delays in housing providers applying to the program which carried over to 2020/21.
Canadian Heritage
As part of the Investing in Canada Plan, the Department of Canadian Heritage has helped to improve cultural spaces across Canada as well as community educational infrastructure in official language minority communities.
- Budget 2017 provided an additional $30M in 2019-20 for the Canadian Cultural Spaces Fund (CCSF). In 2019-20, the CCSF approved funding for 185 new or improved cultural facilities across Canada. The CCSF seeks to improve the physical conditions for arts- and heritage-related creation, collaboration, presentation, preservation and exhibition, as well as increase and improve Canadians' access to arts and culture. For example, the CCSF invested $79,420 in the purchased of specialized equipment for the Sampradaya Theatre in Mississauga, Ontario. The project includes the upgrade of the lighting and projector as well as the purchase of live streaming equipment. The purchase of the equipment will improve the theatre's capacity to meet the technological needs of the dance artists and presenters as well as to facilitate a broader range of professional artistic activities.
- Budget 2017 provided $80,000,000 over 10 years for community educational infrastructure in official-language minority communities (OLMCs). This funding aims to support the construction and modernization of schools and other educational facilities, ensuring that various services and activities (e.g., daycare services, skills training and community programming) are accessible to OLMC members. In 2019-2020, this initiative provided funding to four new projects for a total amount of $8,559,950 over 4 years ($2.2 million in 2019-2020).
Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
CIRNAC funded 275 projects that enabled Indigenous and northern communities to better understand and respond to the challenges of climate change, build capacity and resilience while promoting skills development. These projects provided support in areas such as: identification, prioritization and costing of climate change adaptation options, hazard identification with a particular focus on flood plain mapping, implementing adaptation measures and community-based climate monitoring.
Yukon University
The total allocation for this initiative in 2020-21 is $6,600,000. Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, much of the results expected for 2020-21 have been delayed. That said, by March 31, 2021, the planned spending is expected to be $270,700, and the anticipated results are:
- start and complete a Request for Proposal process for the design services of the science building;
- hire a Project Manager to oversee the project;
- complete Functional Program.
Targets and Indicators are as follows:
- TARGET: To complete a RFP process;
INDICATOR: a company has been awarded the contract for the design services of the science building. - TARGET: To hire a project manager to oversee the project;
INDICATOR: a project manager has been hired and started working. - TARGET: to complete a functional program;
INDICATOR: a functional program is completed.
Employment and Social Development Canada
Under the Investing in Canada Plan, Employment and Social Development Canada funded five initiatives in fiscal year 2019-2020:
- Under the Enabling Accessibility Fund, $7 million in grants and contributions funding, and $700,000 in operations and management funding, was spent in fiscal year 2019-2020 for the Investing in Canada Plan. As a result, the program funded 198 additional projects surpassing its target of 190 additional projects. The target for the number of communities with funded projects was also surpassed. The program has now funded 504 projects over two years through the Investing in Canada Plan and has reached 27% of its goal of supporting an additional 1,800 projects by 2028.Reaching Home: Canada's Homelessness Strategy (formerly the Homelessness Partnering Strategy) was launched on April 1, 2019 and provides funding to urban, rural, Indigenous, and northern communities. In 2019-20, communities spent approximately $189.3 million (of which approximately $71.8 million is attributable to the Investing in Canada Plan) provided through Reaching Home to tackle homelessness through activities such as placing people in more stable housing. Project results for 2019-20 are expected to be available in 2021.
- Under Early Learning and Child Care, $395,299,719 was spent on transfers to provinces and territories in 2019-2020, $5,906,882 was spent on projects that addressed new and innovative ways to improve early learning and childcare service delivery, and $2,247,737 was spent to address early learning and child care data and research gaps. Results on the number of more affordable child care spaces for fiscal year 2019-2020 will be available in Fall 2020, with the submission of Annual Progress Reports from provinces and territories. Prior to the pandemic, provinces and territories were in reach of achieving the targeted creation of 40,000 more affordable child care spaces.
- Under Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care, a total amount of $134,028,877 was advanced by Employment and Social Development Canada ($68,839,763), Indigenous Services Canada ($60,220,113), and the Public Health Agency of Canada ($4,969,001) to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis-led early learning and child care priorities and partnerships. In September 2018, the Government of Canada jointly released the co-developed Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework with the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council. This funding advanced the goals of the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework, including to: enhance and expand early learning and child care programs and services; invest in early learning and child care partnerships and governance that empower Indigenous-led approaches; and strengthen the foundations of Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care through investments in culturally-grounded best practices. Results and performance indicators are being co-developed in collaboration with Indigenous partners, based on the principles, goals and distinctions-based priorities outlined in the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework.
- In 2019-2020, the Women in Construction Fund (WCF) continued to fund organizations to enable them to build on existing models that have proven to be effective in attracting women to the trades. A new project was funded to help engage and enhance Women in Skilled Trades. Four (4) projects are in progress. Based on results from three of the four recipients, approximately 320,245 women were reached through the Women in Construction Fund program.
Environment and Climate Change Canada
Canada Centre for Climate Services (CCCS)
As per the Infrastructure Canada Investing in Canada Plan horizontal management framework, the Canadian Centre for Climate Services initiatives will be fully reported through the Clean Growth and Climate Change HI table led by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Green Municipal Fund (GMF)
The 2019–20 Green Municipal Fund Annual Statement of Plans and Objectives (Annual Report) is expected to be available on the FCM website, in due course.
Since the inception of the GMF in 2000, the FCM has committed to provide more than $882.8 million to support over 1,300 environmental initiatives in communities across Canada (2018-19 GMF Annual Report).
Environmental impacts since the inception of the GMF:
- Reduced cumulative GHG emissions by 2.6 million tonnes;
- Saved 853,045 gigajoules per year;
- Treated 244,752,512 cubic metres of wastewater and drinking water per year;
- Saved 641,300 cubic metres of water per year;
- Diverted 173,596 tonnes of waste from landfill per year;
- Managed 191,768 cubic metres of media (soil, groundwater, and sediment); and
- Reclaimed 94 hectares of land.
Health Canada
As part of the federal $11B, 10-year commitment to invest in better home and community care and mental health and addiction initiatives, the $1B Home Care Infrastructure investment is being delivered to provinces and territories over four years, starting in 2018-19, through bilateral health agreements for home and community care and mental health and addictions. The federal government signed bilateral agreements with each province and territory. These agreements are posted here: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/corporate/transparency/health-agreements/shared-health-priorities.html. Jurisdictions are reporting the results of $11B investment through the Canadian Institute on Health Information (CIHI) based on a focused set of twelve common indicators agreed to by FPT Health Ministers in June 2018, with the indicators to become publicly available over the course of 4 years. Beginning in May 2019, the results from the first three indicators were made public by CIHI on their webpage for Shared Health Priorities (https://www.cihi.ca/en/shared-health-priorities), and are available in CIHI's Your Health System: In Brief (https://yourhealthsystem.cihi.ca/hsp/?lang=en).
Indigenous Services Canada
Budget 2016 provided approximately $3.06 billion of funding under the Investing in Canada Plan (IICP) to improve water and wastewater, housing and recreational centers in First Nations communities across the country (investments include $408.9 million for solid waste management under CIRNAC). Budget 2017 added significant investments to build and improve infrastructure in First Nations and Inuit communities, $1.22 billion of which is currently confirmed under Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).
Combined funding from Budgets 2016 and 2017 under the IICP totals $4.28 billion, of which $3.03 billion has been invested.
During fiscal year 2019-2020, 112 water and wastewater projects were completed, while 288 remain ongoing. These investments were made to improve water and wastewater infrastructure on reserves as well as to address long-term drinking water advisories. It should be noted that, COVID-19 has produced reporting delays for the 2019-2020 results. The 2019-2020 results should be finalized by the end of September 2020, and will then be made publicly available.
Housing projects in 2019-2020 resulted in 1,363 homes built and renovated, along with 178 lots serviced, improving on-reserve housing conditions, reducing overcrowding and increasing health and safety. Another 3,310 homes were being built or renovated along with 519 lots being serviced, as of March 31, 2020. To support capacity development and innovation, 115 projects were completed and 204 are ongoing.
During the fiscal year 2019-2020, 145 other essential community infrastructure projects were completed, including recreational centers and other fundamental infrastructure related projects such as roads and bridges, structural mitigation and fire protection projects. A total of 156 projects were ongoing with investments made possible through Budgets 2016 and 2017.
During 2019-2020, funding was allocated to 18 Health Infrastructure initiatives, including five health facilities construction projects and 13 minor capital and repair projects at existing health facilities. Seventeen Health Infrastructure projects were completed in 2019-2020, including six Health Facilities new construction projects, four Health Facilities renovation projects, and seven Aboriginal Head Start on Reserve (AHSOR) new facility construction projects.
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, several projects were unable to advance as planned in 2019-2020, which necessitated extending project construction schedules beyond initial targeted completion dates. Indigenous Services Canada's regional offices are working with First Nations communities to complete these projects.
Transformation initiatives in the 2019-2020 fiscal year resulted in 34 awareness workshops being supported under asset management programming. Twenty-two projects were supported for asset management planning and three projects for implementation activities. Proof of concept investments were also supported and progress was made on the gradual transfer of housing and infrastructure services to First Nations. In addition, the Indigenous Homes Innovation Initiative was launched. The Indigenous Homes Innovation Initiative aims to find and support First Nation, Inuit and Métis Nation innovators who have housing ideas for rural, urban or remote Indigenous communities.
The Indigenous Steering Committee that leads the Indigenous Homes Innovation Initiative received 342 applications from Indigenous innovators and selected 24 to participate in the Accelerator Phase. In the Accelerator Phase, launched in January 2020, the Innovators receive funding and support from mentors to develop their housing ideas into shovel-ready projects.
During the 2019-2020 fiscal year 141 projects were completed to support improved solid waste management in First Nation communities. An additional 311 projects are ongoing. These projects include construction of landfills, transfer stations, partnerships and municipal type service agreements, capacity building, and education and awareness activities. Investments in waste management ultimately reduce the risks to human health and safety and help to protect the environment.

Public Safety Canada
Since November 2018, Public Safety (PS) designed and implemented a new contribution program, “Funding for First Nation and Inuit Policing Facilities (FFNIPF)”. This program provides $88.6 million in funding over seven years, beginning in 2018-2019, to repair, renovate or replace policing facilities owned by First Nation and Inuit communities. This program helps recipients improve their policing facilities to comply with building, policing, and health and safety standards.
In 2019-2020, PS, in partnership with provinces and territories, invested $6,948,422 in 23 infrastructure projects under Phase 1 of the Funding for First Nation and Inuit Police Facilities program. Projects were cost shared at a ratio of 52% federal and 48% provincial funding. Projects were selected based on the most urgent need and an identified threat to the safety and health of its occupants. The Department is also working with provinces and territories to launch an initiative to assess the state of community-owned police facilities in FNPP communities. This assessment will inform future funding decision.
Safe policing facilities will result in the delivery of better quality policing services and contribute to safer First Nation and Inuit communities.
As the FFNIPF Program was launched in November 2018, it has not yet undergone an evaluation.
The expected results are:
- The immediate outcome associated with this initiative is a strategic framework to support Indigenous policing infrastructure is developed.
The ultimate outcome associated with this initiative is:
- Funded police facilities are deemed to support First Nation and Inuit police service delivery.
The indicator is:
- Percentage of police service providers that identify that their police facility is a safe and healthy workplace which improves service delivery.
The target is 60% by March 31, 2023. A confirmed baseline is to be established by 2020.
Transport Canada
Oceans Protection Plan:
Since 2016, the Government of Canada has been working with Canadians and Indigenous Peoples through the OPP to protect our coasts and waterways for future generations, while growing the economy. Four years later, the Plan has made our marine safety system stronger, and our coastal ecosystems more protected, than ever before. In the coming fiscal year, work will continue to ensure that the OPP delivers on its commitments. Through the Oceans Protection Plan, the Government of Canada is developing emergency response plans tailored to local needs, increasing on-water presence and response capacity, enabling rapid, science-based response actions in the event of a spill, and expanding the role of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary
Ferry Services Contribution Program:
The Ferry Services Contribution Program invested $60M in 2019-20 in support of safe and reliable ferry service for three inter-provincial routes in Eastern Canada, including service between: Saint John, New Brunswick and Digby, Nova Scotia; Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island and Caribou, Nova Scotia; and Îles de la Madeleine, Quebec and Souris, Prince Edward Island. The three ferry services provide essential services to residents, link communities and support the regional economies. In support of these services, Transport Canada is responsible for capital investments in its four ferry vessels and six ferry terminals that are used to support the services as well as for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. As of March 2020, 70 projects have been approved, 61 projects have started of which 40 projects are complete.
National Trade Corridors Fund:
Canada provided $95.3 million in federal funding under the NTCF in 2019-20, with more than 58 projects underway and 5 completed during this period.
The Trade Transportation and Corridors Initiative (TTCI) funding has been used to advance our knowledge of safety critical automated driving technologies. These technologies are foundational to fully automated vehicles and are incorporated into many vehicles available on the Canadian market today. While these systems have the potential to advance safety, the objective scientific data from TC's testing provides the critical evidence needed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of such technologies, and supports our participation in international standards development related to these technologies. Specifically, the funding has been used to conduct crash avoidance tests on different vehicles equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB with cyclist detection and Lane Keeping Assistance.
