The Office of Infrastructure of Canada is part of the Infrastructure and Communities portfolio. The portfolio includes the following:

- Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA), a Crown corporation with the responsibility to design, finance, build, operate and maintain a new, publicly owned international crossing between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan that will be delivered through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Responsibility for WDBA was transferred from the Minister of Transport to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities on November 4, 2015.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank Act received Royal Assent on June 22, 2017, and the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities was designated the responsible Minister on July 4, 2017.
- The Housing and Diversity and Inclusion portfolio, is supported by Infrastructure Canada, and by our colleagues at Women and Gender Equality and Canadian Heritage. The portfolio's overarching goal is to help ensure Canadians can get a home of their own, by working to improve housing affordability and end chronic homelessness, and by championing the full breadth of our country's vibrant diversity through greater inclusion. These gaps will be addressed by engaging with Indigenous partnerships, leading a whole-of-government approach to build a more inclusive, equitable, and just society while working to combat systemic racism, discrimination and xenophobia. As part of this portfolio, the Department is also responsible for Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). CMHC is leading and delivering federal initiatives under the National Housing Strategy, which includes building new affordable housing and renewing the existing affordable housing stock.
- The Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities was designated as the Minister responsible for federal matters relating to the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative (TWRI), effective November 4, 2015. In 2000, the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto each announced a commitment of $500 million to fund the TWRI. Waterfront Toronto is a non-share capital corporation established in 2001 to lead and implement the TWRI.
