The BCCA welcomes the federal government’s investments into construction and infrastructure in Budget 2025.

The budget includes increasing Canada Infrastructure Bank funding by $10 billion and funding the new Major Projects Office to the tune of $213.8 million over 5 years.

The BCCA also supports the government’s investment into the construction workforce, with $97 million invested over five years to establish the Foreign Credential Recognition Action Fund to improve foreign credential recognition, focusing on the construction sector.

These are important investments into the construction industry that will allow us to strengthen the resiliency of our industry and our nation’s infrastructure.

BCCA’s partner, the Canadian Construction Association (CCA), put out a news release today in reaction to the budget which you can read here.
