Treasury Board of Canada President Lucienne Robillard and Premier Bernard Lord. The premier and ministers agreed the partnership is an excellent example of how different levels of government can work together for the benefit of Canadians. The first priority for Infrastructure Canada investment in New Brunswick, as in the rest of Canada, is green municipal infrastructure. Infrastructure Canada has been a bottom-up program from the beginning, and will continue to be so.
Municipalities know their needs best.
The Department of Environment and Local Government, in conjunction with the Regional Development Corporation, are the provincial jurisdictions responsible for the implementation of the agreement. The Infrastructure Canada-New Brunswick agreement provides for the establishment of a joint management committee to administer the program, and recommend projects for funding. Infrastructure Canada deals with municipal infrastructure.
