The Canadian Infrastructure Council was tasked by the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure to produce Canada's first National Infrastructure Assessment (NIA), an undertaking that has received broad support across industry, academia, and government. The first mandate has focused on the public infrastructure needed to build more houses, specifically water and wastewater, waste management, and public transit and active transportation systems, the challenges facing these systems due to population growth and climate change. Members of the Canadian Infrastructure Council will share their findings and take questions on its recommendations and next steps.
