Strong communities, affordable electricity and a clean economy.: F1-23/2019-5E-PDF
"Investing in infrastructure creates good, well-paying middle class jobs today, and sets the stage for long-term economic growth that benefits everyone. But there is more to infrastructure than jobs and growth. It makes our communities better places to live, ensuring that we have the roads, public transit, energy systems, water treatment facilities and recreational spaces Canadians need now, and into the future. At the same time, for too many Canadian families, the cost of electricity—used to heat homes, cook food and power our appliances—is rising at a faster rate than family income, making it hard for many people to make ends meet. More needs to be done to make sure that hard-working families can afford their monthly electricity bills. And for the millions of Canadians who want to be a part of the new clean economy, the cost of transportation is a concern. With Budget 2019, the Government is taking steps to help build communities that Canadians can be proud to call home, while making everyday life more affordable for the middle class and people working hard to join it"--Page [1].
