Infrastructure Canada is a Canadian federal department responsible for public infrastructure in the country. The department is headed by the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. HistoryThe Office of Infrastructure of Canada (Infrastructure Canada) was created as a federal department in 2002 via an Order-in-Council issued pursuant to the Financial Administration Act.[1] The department was mandated to enter into funding agreements with Canada's provinces and territories (including municipalities created under provincial or territorial authority), for the purpose of supporting strategic infrastructure projects across Canada.[1] There are two programs managed by the department that have their own federal legislation: the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund, and the Gas Tax Fund.[1] ProgramsInfrastructure Canada is the lead federal department responsible for infrastructure policy development and program delivery. The department makes investments for both local and regional infrastructure needs. In its first year after creation, the department invested mostly in water and wastewater plants, highways, culture, recreation, and broadband projects.[2] During the Great Recession, the department was tasked with implementing the economic stimulus package of the Conservative Party of Canada's government.[2] In the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the government did not use $616 million set aside for infrastructure spending. The reason given were delays in planning and execution beyond the government's control.[3] In January 2016, Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi announced a 2-year, $10 billion plan to repair infrastructure across the country.[4] Branches and sub-agenciesThe Department is made up of five branches:[5]
