nicipalities estimates that 60 percent of Canadian
municipalities have five staff members or fewer.
ese rural municipalities are less likely to have
asset management plans, yet rural municipalities
own up to 49 percent of Infrastructure assets. Ru-
ral municipalities also typically have an extensive
Infrastructure network and a limited tax base to
fund the maintenance and renewal of their Infra-
structure assets."
In the "What We're Doing" section of the Re-
port, the government outlined that it is "providing
significant investments in infrastructure through
the Investing in Canada plan and initiatives such
as the National Trade Corridors Fund. e Invest-
ing in Canada plan is investing over $180 billion in
funding across the country, in five priority areas:
rural and northern communities' Infrastructure;
public transit infrastructure; green Infrastructure;
social Infrastructure; and trade and transportation
Infrastructure.
"As of May 2019, the Government of Canada
has approved more than 48,000 Infrastructure
projects, and nearly all are underway or completed.
Cost-sharing for rural and northern Infrastruc-
ture projects is the most flexible in recognition of
rural needs, with the Government of Canada able
to contribute up to 60 percent of eligible project
costs in small communities with populations un-
der 5,000. In addition, Budget 2019 provided a
one-time top-up of $2.2 billion through the federal
Gas Tax Fund to address short-term priorities in
municipalities and First Nations communities."
