Ensure any unspent infrastructure funds are transferred to municipalities.

What success looks like

Ensure infrastructure funding approved by Parliament does not lapse and is invested in municipal infrastructure projects.

Government's narrative on progress

In March 2017, the Government of Canada transferred $30.2 million in potentially lapsing funding from a number of previously established funding programs to municipalities through the federal Gas Tax Fund (GTF). The government has also committed to transfer unused legacy funding to the GTF. For example, any funding under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component of the 2014 New Building Canada Fund not approved for projects by June 30, 2019 will be transferred to the GTF.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
