Ministers announce Canada-Newfoundland Infrastructure Projects totaling $35 million

Gerry Byrne, Minister of State for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, and Member of Parliament for Humber-St. Barbe-Baie Verte, and Oliver Langdon, Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs, announced today $35.6 million for projects recommended under the Canada-Newfoundland Infrastructure Program. Projects will proceed pending completion of Canadian Environmental Assessments (CEA).

Green municipal infrastructure, such as water and sewer servicing and chlorination, has been identified as the priority for projects approved under this program. There are 125 projects recommended under this phase, located in 108 communities. If all of the projects are approved under the CEA process, the federal government will contribute $11.8 million, the province $17.5 million, and municipalities $6.2 million.

"Funding for green municipal infrastructure is critical for the health and well-being of the people of this province," said Minister Byrne. "The Federal Government is committed to partnering with the province and the municipalities to financially support important infrastructure projects, especially when it comes to clean water and proper sewer treatment."

"The province recognizes that projects funded under this program will address many needs throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Variable cost sharing guidelines introduced by the province last year will permit communities to access important infrastructure that they would not otherwise have been able to afford. In some cases the province will incur up to 90 per cent of the provincial - municipal share," said Minister Langdon. "As well, the province will again this year pay 100 per cent of the provincial - municipal share, up to $100,000, for chlorination projects in communities that are on boil water advisories."

The Canada-Newfoundland Infrastructure Program is administered federally by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and provincially by the Department of Municipal and Provincial Affairs.

This is the second of a five phases that will see a total $153.7 million invested into municipal infrastructure in Newfoundland and Labrador by the three levels of government.
