Key Highlights
According to Statistics Canada, the total number of residential building permits issued in the country rose by 0.8% from 207,759 in 2015 to 209,338 in 2016. This was preceded by an annual decline of 1.1% in 2014 and an annual rise of 1.1% in 2015.
In a bid to promote economic growth, in November 2016, the government announced plans to invest CAD81.2 billion (US$61.5 billion) to develop various large-scale projects during 2017–2027. These projects include energy and public transport infrastructure projects; social infrastructure projects including childcare centers, leisure and hospitality buildings and affordable houses; trade-related infrastructure projects and the upgrade of road and digital infrastructure in rural areas. The government’s major infrastructure development program is expected to support expansion in the construction industry over the forecast period.
As a part of its 2016 budget, in February that year the government of Ontario announced plans to invest CAD137.0 billion (US$103.7 billion) to develop large-scale construction projects by 2025. This is expected to support growth in the country’s construction industry in the coming years.
In March 2017, the government announced plans to launch the Canada Infrastructure Bank, a new investment hub to boost funding for construction projects in the country. The government’s main aim is to mobilize funds from foreign and private investors by working in collaboration with provincial, territorial and municipal governments. Under the initiative, the government plans to construction several railway corridors, roads, ports, water treatment plants and energy transmission lines.
